Wizards of the Coast has announced the 2023 sets for Magic: The Gathering, which will include the return to some fan-favorite planes. The remaining MTG sets for 2022 have already been revealed, with the next one being Dominaria United on September 9, which features a return to the original MTG setting, as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations for the series.
2022 has been a big year for MTG, with the cyberpunk-fueled Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set, characters from Street Fighter appearing as part of the Universes Beyond line, and the Streets of New Capenna set bringing fantasy prohibition-era gangsters into the game.
