Theros Beyond Death is the 83rd Magic expansion. It will be released on January 24, 2020. Like its spiritual predecessors Theros Beyond Death has an ancient Greek themed top-down design, making use of many mythological tropes (Heroes, Monsters, and Gods). The set will focus on the Underworld of Theros over the normal world of the plane, and features the returned planeswalker Elspeth Tirel.

Theros Beyond Death introduces the keyword action Escape; spells with escape can be cast from the graveyard for their escape cost. The cost includes exiling a number of other cards from the graveyard. If a creature escapes, it may receive an additional bonus. Returning mechanics from the Theros block are Constellation and Devotion.
