Death Race is the working title for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set codenamed "Tennis". It is the 103rd Magic expansion and is expected to be released in Q1, 2025.[1] It is a multiplanar twist on the racing genre.[2]
Set details
The set was first teased during the 2023 Announcement Day panel at Gen Con Indiana where it was revealed that it would feature a Death Race across three planes.[1] Two of the featured planes will be planes from premier sets that have not been revisited since their debut. The third plane will be an existing location that has never been featured as a premier set before.
The death race idea had been in discussion for over a decade. It was the omenpath idea (multiple worlds) that finally helped it get made.[3]
Storyline
The set is the third in the Dragonstorm Arc.
