Secrets of Strixhaven is an upcoming Magic: The Gathering expansion, a return to Strixhaven University on the plane of Arcavios. It is scheduled for release in April 2026. The set will feature more of the world outside the school than Strixhaven: School of Mages did,[1] although it is still set primarily at Strixhaven.[2]

Storyline

Five Strixhaven students standing on a ledge, each a different species and with outfits and magic suggesting a different college: a Witherbloom elf, Silverquill owlfolk, Quandrix gorgon, Prismari goblin, and Lorehold orc.
The five new Strixhaven students introduced in Lorwyn Eclipsed.

Killian Lu, Dina, Rootha Squallheart, and other returning characters are now recent graduates of Strixhaven University, putting their magic to practice in the wider world. The set also features five new students just choosing their colleges.[2] Separate from the main storyline,[3] the young-adult novel Omens of Chaos, by Seanan McGuire, will tell the story of Strixhaven's first class of interplanar students, who have traveled to Arcavios via Omenpaths.[2]

Marketing

A return to Arcavios was first teased during the 2023 Announcement Day panel at Gen Con Indiana.[4] The name Secrets of Strixhaven was announced at MagicCon: Las Vegas 2025,[5] with more details given at MagicCon: Atlanta 2025.[2]
