Magic: The Gathering’s 2027 lineup is taking shape, with half of the six sets revealed. From a return to Kamigawa to afrofantasy and underwater adventures, we’re just waiting for our first look at Universes Beyond sets

to fill out the calendar.

We’ll likely get our first look at MagicCon Atlanta in November, but for now, there’s no harm in some fun predictions on what could be coming up next.

What We Know So Far

In a recent

quarterly earnings report

, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks noted feedback on recent Universes Beyond sets, which have run the gamut from two trips to Middle-Earth, just as many visits to New York City, every single Final Fantasy, and, soon, Star Trek.

“The one thing I'll say on the Universes Beyond partners that we have next year is they'll probably be a bit more fantasy-adjacent," he explained.

"And I don't think any of them will take place in New York City because we definitely have gotten that feedback from some fans."

We know there will be three new Universes Beyond sets, with one in April, one in August, and one in November. So, there are a lot of potential crossovers that would be fun for Magic: The Gathering, but the idea of refocusing on fantasy IP certainly is interesting.

annoyingly expensive now, but play brilliantly.

I bring this up because the other side of the coin is a "Warhammer: Age of Sigmar" set of Commander Decks (or maybe more) that leans into the Games Workshop brand’s more high-fantasy setting that includes existing Magic archetypes like duardin (dwarves), aelves (elves), and orruks (orks) among others.

Look, I’d be happy with more 40K races, too — give us the T’au, Astra Militarum, and Adeptus Mechanicus. Age of Sigmar just makes sense to explore, as well.

Game of Thrones

Despite the TV show’s controversial ending, Game of Thrones remains an IP that’ll be pulling in cash as long as George R.R. Martin has yet to finish the book series.

Game of Thrones (or A Song of Ice and Fire) now has multiple spinoffs, comic books, video games, and even a standalone card game itself from

Fantasy Flight Games, so why not add a Magic: The Gathering set into the mix as well?

It could include content from the prequels like Fire and Blood (and riffing on House of the Dragon), as well as deeper cuts like Lady Stoneheart... Or it could just be reskinned Tarkir: Dragonstorm with its various factions and big, fire-breathing creatures.

Either way, this could be the perfect crossover waiting to happen.
