Following Dominaria Remastered’s release last week, MTG is now revealing the storyline of Phyrexia: All Will Be One, which is set to take place on the plane of New Phyrexia itself, giving MTG players five “compleated” planeswalkers. 

Before previews for Phyrexia: All Will Be One officially begin today. Here are some things players can expect for the new playset, revealed by MTG’s head designer Mark Rosewater:

• an ability word named corrupted

• a reprint with Phyrexian in its name (other than Phyrexian Obliterator)
• a new keyword with an exclamation point in its name
• affinity returns on three cards
• a Phyrexianized Staff of Domination
• another Sword of ______ & ______

Following Phyrexia: All Will Be One, the second premier set of 2023 will be March of the Machine, and it looks like it will be a climactic final showdown with the Phyrexians and the conclusion to the four-set Phyrexian plot arc.

Overall, 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Magic: The Gathering with many new sets, new mechanics and new story lines to look forward to.

Fans can expect to see a lot of new cards, and new ways to play the game and it will be interesting to see how the game evolves and develops over the coming months.
