Dinosaurs, vampires, pirates, and even merfolk are the typal archetypes supported in the upcoming MTG Standard-legal The Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI) set. The final set of 2023 is the second in the Omenpath Arc, which takes place after the events of the Phyrexian invasion and March of the Machine. The return to the Ixalan plane introduces new mechanics to Magic like Descend and Discover, along with a new twist on Explore as a returning mechanic.

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan set will also contain Jurassic World MTG cards, in which players can collect all of the 26 Universes Beyond cards. Players can score MTG promos like Dragonlord Atarka, Dramatic Reversal, Path of Ancestry, and Beast Whisper through LCI event play. And, on top of everything else, the Neon booster fun treatment last seen in NEO will be returning through the upcoming Standard-legal set too.
