The Magi are a group of card cycles featuring Human Wizards that reference other cards from Magic's history.[1] Each cycle of Magi copies a different type of card. So far there have been Magi cycles made for artifacts, lands, enchantments, and sorceries. The Magi cycles debuted in the Time Spiral block and were featured in all three sets of that block. Since then, a mega cycle has been made within the Commander series, releasing the first card of the cycle in Commander 2015 and finally finishing in Commander Legends.
Some of the referenced cards are featured on the Reserved List, and couldn't be reprinted in their own right.
As a one-off, another Enchantment Magus appeared in Modern Horizons 2: Magus of the Bridge (Bridge from Below).[4][5]
Trivia
- While matching the naming scheme of the Magi and even sharing the Human Wizard typing with the rest of them, Magus of the Unseen is not a part of the magi cycles and stands alone.
