Edge of Eternities is a new Magic: The Gathering expansion featuring five planets, each with a unique terrain, reminiscent of classic sci-fi narratives. Lead designer Ethan Fleischer emphasizes that this expansion is not a mere imitation of Star Wars, as they aim to deliver a distinct experience. Drawing inspiration from Flash Gordon comics, Fleischer has pursued this vision for over a decade, evolving it alongside the changes in Magic. The set incorporates classic sci-fi elements while retaining original Magic: The Gathering character and archetypes, promising fans a fresh yet familiar experience.
Fleischer has been working for MTG publisher Wizards of the Coast for 14 years, and for most of that time, he's been trying to make Edge of Eternities. His original concept was inspired by the classic Flash Gordon comics published in the 1930s and '40s, with an Art Deco style to match. "I had a retro sci-fi vision," Fleischer recalls. "People said, 'It's not quite right yet.' But I kept pitching it. I knew eventually we'd get there."
Edge of Eternities is definitely its own thing, mixing classic sci-fi tropes with Magic: The Gathering creatures and archetypes. Fleischer insists this space opera set, titled Edge of Eternities, isn't just a reskinned version of everyone's favorite galaxy far, far away.
