<p><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>'s preview season is well underway, and Wizards of the Coast is doing something interesting this time around. Because Strixhaven University contains five different academic houses, Wizards has split each house's previews up to reveal them one house per day. Yesterday, Wizards' content creators and Ambassadors revealed Prismari's artists and performers. Today, the same was done for Lorehold. In this recap, we'll look at all of them! Read on for more!</p>

<h2>Prismari Reveals for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></h2>
<p>The Prismari cards in <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> seem pretty great. These artisans and performers, all encapsulated within (and simultaneously encapsulating) the blue-red color identity, are going to be explosive in Limited formats, including Prerelease. (That starts on April 17th, for those not yet in the know!)</p>
<p>But let's look at those cards now, and be enraptured by the swirling colors and stunning attention to detail!</p>

<h2>Lorehold Reveals for <em>MTGSOS</em></h2>
<p>Lorehold House's white-red color identity lends itself remarkably well to history and preservation. These cards, not unlike Prismari's show-stopping cards, will be fantastic in Limited, but I surmise they'll also find several homes in Constructed.</p>
<p>Before we go on with these previews, I must reiterate from preview seasons past that I will not be sharing cards that don't have a confirmed English name yet. As such, the "Capstone" card from the Lorehold previews will not be in this article. However, having said that, let's look at all the rest of the cards!</p>

Secrets of Strixhaven Preview Recap: Prismari and Lorehold

Secrets of Strixhaven Debut Stream, Recapped

<p style="text-align: right;"><em>Lorehold, the Historian | Art by <a href="https://raymondswanland.com/magic-the-gathering-gallery">Raymond Swanland</a></em></p>
<p>On Tuesday, Wizards of the Coast unveiled the new sealed products for two upcoming sets. These sets are <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> and <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>. This particular set of previews was revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. With that, let's look at some of the revealed information, which includes a few preview cards!</p>
<h2><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em></h2>
<p>For starters, let's look at <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>, out on April 24th. Wizards of the Coast revealed the following products at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Some of these may seem obvious, but it's simply good to know that they're continuing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Play Boosters (MSRP: $5.49 per pack)</li>
<li>Collector Boosters (MSRP: $26.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Draft Night (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Bundle (MSRP: $57.99)</li>
<li>Codex Bundle (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Commander Decks (MSRP: $49.99 per deck)</li>
</ul>
<p>We expect you have a few questions. For one, what in the world is a Codex Bundle? And, how many Commander decks are featuring in <em>MTGSOS</em>? We can easily answer both of those questions for you!</p>
<p>The Codex Bundle, a similar product to Gift Bundles and the like, contains six Play Boosters, two Collector Boosters, and a Codex Booster. Like the <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender</em> Gift Bundles' innovation, the Codex Booster contains two cards out of a possible six in the following subset of cards:</p>
<p><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174847" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png" alt="Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle promos." width="600" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs.png 1280w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-300x279.png 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-1024x954.png 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sos-codex-bundle-packs-768x715.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>While this group of cards isn't the <em>most</em> exciting subset of promos ever, the Talisman cycle and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sol Ring" href="#" target="_blank">Sol Ring</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are still used quite frequently in Commander decks across the board. And speaking of Commander decks...</p>

<h3><em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em> Commander Decks</h3>
<p>There are going to be five Commander decks released alongside <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>. These decks are respectively themed after the five Houses of Strixhaven, a prestigious school of magic housed on the plane of Arcavios. More details are below:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><em>Lorehold Spirit</em>
<ul>
<li>Red/White</li>
<li>Commander: Quintorius</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Prismari Artistry</em>
<ul>
<li>Blue/Red</li>

<li><em>Quandrix Unlimited</em>
<ul>
<li>Green/Blue</li>
<li>Commander: Zimone</li>

</blockquote>
<p>There is no confirmation that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Quintorius Kand" href="#" target="_blank">Quintorius Kand</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will be a planeswalker commander in the <em>Lorehold Spirit</em> deck, but we'll surely find out soon!</p>
<h3><em>MTGSOS Previews</em></h3>
<p>There were a couple of cards previewed within <em>Secrets</em>. These previews also include one from the new iteration of the <em>Mystical Archive</em>. Let's take a look!</p>
<p><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174852" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS.png" alt="Lorehold, the Historian, a card from Secrets of Strixhaven." width="800" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS.png 1280w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS-300x210.png 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS-1024x715.png 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Lorehold-the-Historian-SOS-768x536.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a> <a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174853" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS.png" alt="Mathemagics, a card from Secrets of Strixhaven." width="800" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS.png 1280w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS-300x210.png 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS-1024x715.png 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mathemagics-SOS-768x536.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a> <a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174854" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive.png" alt="Stock Up, a card from Secrets of Strixhaven's Mystical Archive, previously from Aetherdrift." width="400" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive.png 773w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive-215x300.png 215w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive-733x1024.png 733w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Stock-Up-mystical-archive-768x1073.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a> <a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174855" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive.png" alt="The Japanese version of Stock Up, a card from Secrets of Strixhaven's Mystical Archive, previously from Aetherdrift." width="800" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive.png 1280w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive-300x210.png 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive-1024x715.png 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stock-up-jp-mystical-archive-768x536.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Naturally, we'd like to know if the Japanese Foil Etched cards in this set's <em>Mystical Archive</em> are a bit more standout than the ones from <em>Strixhaven</em> proper. Again, we'll know when we see more from the set!</p>
<h2><em>Marvel Super Heroes</em></h2>
<p>This brings us to the next set in the queue. <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em> comes out on June 26th. It contains the following products (shown here with MSRP included):</p>
<ul>
<li>Play Boosters (MSRP: $6.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Collector Boosters (MSRP: $37.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Bundle (MSRP: $69.99)</li>
<li>Gift Bundle (MSRP: $89.99)</li>
<li>Draft Night (MSRP: $119.99)</li>
<li>Scene Boxes (MSRP: $41.99)</li>
<li>Commander Decks (MSRP: $69.99 per deck)</li>
<li>Collector Commander Decks (MSRP: $149.99 per deck)</li>
<li>Jumpstart Boosters (MSRP: $6.99 per pack)</li>
<li>Beginner Box (MSRP: $34.99)</li>
</ul>
<p>Considerably more expensive than the cards from <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>, <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em> continues some of the trends that other <em>Universes Beyond</em> products started, presumably based on licensing fees. But let's look at some of these products!</p>
<p><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-174858" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg" alt="Marvel Super Heroes Commander precons." width="994" height="559" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks.jpg 1920w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-300x169.jpg 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MTGMSH-commander-decks-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px" /></a></p>
<p>There are four Commander precons for <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>, each priced at a solid $69.99 apiece. The decks are as such:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><em>Avengers Assemble</em>
<ul>
<li>Red/White/Blue</li>
<li>Characters pictured: Captain America, Nick Fury</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Wakanda Forever</em>
<ul>
<li>Green/White</li>
<li>Characters pictured: Black Panther, Shuri</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>The Fantastic Four</em>
<ul>
<li>Red/Green/White/Blue</li>
<li>Characters pictured: Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, Thing</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Doom Prevails</em>
<ul>
<li>Blue/Black/Red</li>
<li>Characters pictured: Doctor Doom, Loki</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>There are also Collector Commander decks for this set. They're the same cards as in the base decks, only included with a Surge Foil treatment. These collector-targeted decks have an MSRP of $149.99 each.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>I am super-excited for <em>Secrets of Strixhaven</em>! <em>Marvel Super Heroes</em>' Commander decks look pretty neat as well. But let's ipen the floor to you now, dear readers! Are you excited for any of these new sets? What about them might drive you to picking the cards up? Sound off in the comments below!</p>
