Annual Release Cycle

Expansion Sets

MageTCG releases three major expansions per year, grouped into a single story-driven Block. Each Block focuses on one central theme, world, or conflict, with each expansion continuing the storyline and expanding the game in a focused, intentional way.

Core Set + Arcane Order Starter Decks

The Core Set remains the evergreen foundation of MageTCG, supporting competitive play and the core identity of the game year-round. Alongside each expansion wave, we release five Arcane Order Starter Decks, introducing new Mage classes, playstyles, relics, characters, and strategies over time.

Hall of Mages

The Hall of Mages drops feature legendary characters inspired by the community. After the drop, these cards enter the Core Set as rare chase cards for a limited time, then rotate out until they return later through future lore, alternate versions, or supported story sets.

Launch Partner Events + Sanctioned Play

Each expansion release is designed to launch with official LGS partner events, giving local game stores a meaningful role in introducing new sets to their communities. These launches may also include regional events, sanctioned play, and other organized competitions that celebrate the new release while helping grow the MageTCG player network.
