Wizards of the Coast has stepped back in time for the Lost Caverns of Ixalan set, showcasing Magic: The Gathering spoilers that have Meso and South American-inspired artistic themes as a new booster fun treatment at MagicCon Vegas on Sept. 22.
The release of Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI), which will take place in November, will feature a new booster fun treatment that uses neon color treatments and Meso-inspired artistic themes. The upcoming Standard-legal MTG set focuses on dinosaurs, along with vampires and merfolk, as players get to experience new locations on the infamous Ixalan plane. Multiple LCI spoilers that dropped at MagicCon showed off the new booster fun treatments on Lands and an Artifact.
