The major fall standard rotation has arrived and that means it won’t be long before the final Magic: The Gathering sets of 2021 arrive. After the two-part return to Innistrad releases, players will be able to look forward to a very exciting 2022 full of planeswalking.
Magic Showcase 2021 just took place and Wizards of the Coast announced many of the company’s plans for Magic: The Gathering’s coming year. The event confirmed four new sets taking place across a handful of planes (including two of the most popular ones in Magic’s long history).

The new sets are going to take place on Kamigawa, in the city of New Capenna, and on Dominaria. There obviously aren’t a ton of details about these sets yet, but the general setting and story overviews are now available for players to check out…

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty
First up, a trip that was years in the making. The feudal past of Kamigawa sets the stage for the far-off future we return to with Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Filled with high-tech delight and homages to fan favorites, Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty comes to stores in the first quarter of 2022.
Streets of New Capenna
Trailing after our trip to Kamigawa like a detective with gumption, the following Standard release takes us to the Streets of New Capenna—a city with special significance to Elspeth, built by angels now run by three-color demon crime families. We'll race through the Streets of New Capenna in the second quarter of 2022.
Dominaria United
Dominaria holds a special place in Magic across the lore of game and in the hearts of fans around the world. With so much story and decades of Magic history packed into one plane, our next visit with Dominaria United is the perfect place to kick off our 30th anniversary celebration. You'll be able to enjoy the original high-fantasy Magic setting again in the third quarter of 2022.
The Brothers’ War
While Magic's history stretches back 30 years, the lore of Dominaria itself is much longer. Returning to a pivotal story of Dominaria's—and Magic's—history, what started as a feud between Urza and Mishra erupted into an all-out war that set into motion the future of the plane and Multiverse itself. Through the lens of Dominaria's locations, characters, and victims of the conflict, we'll see a plane-spanning conflict escalate with artifacts, giant mechs, and beyond in The Brothers' War—arriving to stores everywhere in the fourth quarter of 2022.
That’s just about everything we know about Standard Magic in 2022, but lots of additional details are sure to follow in the coming months. Be sure to check back frequently for more news, updates, and strategy guides.
Magic: The Gathering is available now at card shops and digitally through Magic Arena on PC and mobile.
