The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is the ninety-eighth Magic expansion. It will be released in November, 2023.[2][3][4]

Set details

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is Magic's take on the “Underground World” trope.[5][6] It is not a traditional return set: R&D was making an underground set, and Ixalan felt like the best fit for it. It wasn’t the other way round.[7][8] As such, it is not a mechanical return to the previous set.[9]

Storyline

We revisit to Ixalan, the plane packed with pirates and dinosaurs. Things have changed since the disappearance of the Immortal Sun. We've seen the sea and land of Ixalan, but what lurks beneath? Once again, there is a scramble as the groups race towards the center of Ixalan in search of a new resource: Cosmium. Once they get past the caves, they find that Ixalan is a hollow world. Ixalan's Core is in the middle, a sun for the inner world. An ancient civilization, ancestor's of the Sun Empire, uses the magic of the inner sun of Ixalan to grow in power.
