Which College Will You Choose?

Welcome to Strixhaven, the Multiverse's most prestigious university for the study of magic!

Founded centuries ago by five spellcasting dragons—Strixhaven is divided into five colleges that reflect their founder's magical specialty and distinctive personality.

Silverquill (Black/White): Stylish wordsmiths who master the magic of words, from inspiring battle poetry to biting arcane insults.

Prismari (Red/Blue): Artsy elementalists wielding fire and ice with spells that are spectacles of raw creativity.

Witherbloom (Green/Black): Witchy biologists who brew herbal concoctions to control the essence of life and death.

Lorehold (Red/White): Adventurous historians who bring the spirits of the past to life and call forth magic from ancient tomes.

Quandrix (Blue/Green): Quirky math magicians who study patterns and fractals to command and multiply the forces of nature.

Choose your college and join the duel between schools for some friendly (and a tiny bit deadly) magical competition.

Delve into the Mystical Archive

One Mystical Archive Card in Every Pack

The Library of Strixhaven, also known as the Biblioplex, forms the center of Strixhaven University. Doorless, arch-shaped entrances welcome inquisitive minds into a library filled with impossibly-long hallways, archive chambers tall enough to have their own weather, and even pools and moat-passages that must be crossed by boat.

The most famous feature of Strixhaven's library is the Mystical Archive—a collection of spells from throughout space and time.

Every Strixhaven Draft Booster contains one card from the Mystical Archive—a sorcery or instant with striking art and a special showcase frame.

Magic's First Instant & Sorcery-Focused Set

Knowledge is Power

Strixhaven draws promising young mages from across the Multiverse to study in its halls, eager to learn new spells and hone their skills.

Learn While You Duel

Strixhaven: School of Mages introduces the Learn mechanic, which allows you to either put a Lesson card you own into your hand from outside the game or discard a card to draw one.

Every Strixhaven Draft Booster includes one Lesson card, so you can develop new skills and grow more powerful as you duel.

Practice Magecraft

Strixhaven's professors can often (too often) be heard praising the benefits of practice. And most students would begrudgingly admit that they're right.

Strixhaven also introduces cards with the Magecraft mechanic. These cards give you special bonuses whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, whether it's life gain or a +1/+1 counter.

At Least One Rare in Every Pack

Possibility of Multiple Rares

From deans and distinguished professors to mythic rare elder dragons—every Strixhaven Draft Booster contains one Rare or Mythic Rare card. Plus, each pack has the possibility of including up to three additional Rare or Mythic rare cards—one possible Rare or Mythic Rare from the Mystical Archive, one possible Rare or Mythic Rare Lesson card, and one nonfoil Common may be replaced with a Rare or Mythic Rare foil in some packs.

About Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering fuses playing cards and trading cards: players face off with decks they’ve built by selecting cards from a larger pool.

That customization means every game plays out a little differently and makes Magic the deepest strategy card game there is. At every step, players must draw on their critical thinking skills to calculate the perfect strategy, predict the oncoming attack, and outwit their opponent.

And it's more than cards. It’s stories. It’s art. It’s a community twenty-five years in the making, with players, fans, and artists from all around the world united by a love of the game.
