MTG Avatar the Last Airbender - What we know so far

Magic: The Gathering’s Universes Beyond collaboration with Avatar The Last Airbender is one of 2025’s most anticipated sets. Below is a fully updated late-2025 overview with all the targeted long-tail sections, confirmed release data, and current UK pricing guidance.

Avatar MTG Release Date

The set releases in stores on 21 November 2025. MTG Arena and Magic Online will receive the set on 18 November. Prerelease events run 14–20 November and the global preview stream is scheduled for late October. Wizards of the Coast will complete the official card gallery on 7 November 2025.

MTG Avatar The Last Airbender Leak

After mid-August 2025, product photos and partial card texts surfaced across community channels, giving early glimpses of legends such as Aang and Toph. Many of these early sightings were later confirmed, showing that the late-season leaks closely matched final designs.

Mtg Avatar The Last Airbender Cards

The set uses codes TLA for the main release and TLE for eternal-legal bonus cards. Fan favourites like Aang, Katara, Zuko, Toph, and even the Cabbage Merchant headline the set. Spells and artifacts draw directly from memorable episodes, while special frames and foil versions add collector depth.

The Chase Cards

Collector focus centres on alternate-art, borderless, and raised-foil “Headliner” versions. Avatar Aang in his Master of Elements form is the premier chase card. Other likely highlights include showcase treatments for Zuko, Katara, Toph, and premium bending spells.

The Best Cards

Top predictions point to Toph’s earth-and-metal synergy as a future Commander favourite, Katara as a control staple, and Aang as a versatile multicolour engine. Cards that exploit bending’s exile-and-recast interactions may define early competitive decks.

What Is Bending in MTG

Bending is the central mechanic of the Avatar universes beyond set. Airbending exiles permanents for tempo plays. Waterbending reduces ability costs and provides control. Earthbending strengthens land and artifact strategies. Firebending creates explosive red mana and damage spikes. Building decks that combine these elements unlocks powerful rewards.

Bending Rules

Bending uses keyword actions like “airbend a permanent” or “waterbend this creature.” Some cards let you bend your own permanents for value; others target opponents. Each element has unique interactions with existing Magic rules, making mana balance and timing critical.

Are there any Mtg Avatar The Last Airbender Precons?

The product line includes a Commander’s Bundle but no actual commander decks. The beginner box does contain two pre-made decks, but these are extremely basic and are catering towards new players.

Mtg Avatar The Last Airbender Spoilers

The spoiler gallery is growing steadily. Multiple versions of Katara, several Aang variants, Zuko, and Sokka are already confirmed. Each has showcase and foil treatments designed for both play and collection.

Iroh Spoilers

Iroh, Firebending Instructor is a legendary Human Noble Ally that embodies his role as a mentor. He is a 2/2 for three mana, and whenever he attacks, all attacking creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. This straightforward but powerful ability makes him a strong support piece in aggressive red decks, boosting your whole team every time he leads the charge. The flavor text, “Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame,” captures his wisdom while tying neatly into the firebending theme.

Toph Spoilers

Toph, the First Metalbender is a legendary Human Warrior Ally with powerful artifact and land synergies. She makes all non-token artifacts you control count as lands in addition to their other types. Her Earthbend ability allows you to tap three untapped lands to exile the top card of your library; you may play that card until the end of your turn. This design emphasizes resource conversion and advantage, turning artifacts into extra lands and rewarding decks that maximize land and artifact counts.

Alternate and showcase frames are expected to make her one of the most desirable singles in the set.

Katara Spoilers

Katara, Water Tribe’s Hope is a legendary Human Warrior Ally with vigilance. When she enters the battlefield, you create a 1/1 white Ally creature token. Her Waterbend ability lets you tap other creatures you control to reduce the cost of her activated abilities. For three mana and tapping three untapped Allies you control, she resets target creature’s base power and toughness to 3/3 until end of turn. This design captures her role as a leader and protector, rewarding synergy with Allies while giving flexible board control.

Where to Preorder Avatar The Last Airbender MTG

Preorders are live across UK local game stores, large online hobby shops, including our collection here and our sister store The Gamers Lodge.

How Many Cards Are in the set?

The combined main and eternal-legal pools, plus showcase and foil variants, will yield well over a hundred unique cards. Final counts will be confirmed once the gallery is complete in early November 2025.

Strategy Tips and What to Watch

How to Plan Your Decks

Two-element lists (such as air-fire or water-earth) give strong synergy and steady mana. Three-colour builds open powerful cross-element rewards if supported by reliable fixing. Seek cards that create value through bending loops or multicolour payoffs.

Tips for Draft and Sealed

Pick mana fixing early to support multiple bending types. Cards that exile or neutralise threats are valuable tempo plays. Legendary characters often provide game-ending pressure or repeatable advantage.

What to Watch Post Release

Track which bending archetypes shape Standard and Commander play. Keep an eye on chase cards like borderless Aang or showcase Toph, as their secondary-market prices will likely shift rapidly in the first few weeks.

What Set is After Avatar The Last Airbender MTG

Lorwyn: Eclipsed is next on the Magic roadmap. It revisits the fairy-tale plane of Lorwyn with a darker tone and renewed focus on tribal play. Expect faerie, elf, and elemental strategies to get fresh support and for the story to explore the plane’s balance of light and shadow.
