Magic Head Designer Mark Rosewater is no stranger to public relations. He's teased multiple sets for players ahead of the debut of their preview seasons in years past. This is normally done through <a href="https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/">his Tumblr account</a>, known as "Blogatog". On this social media account, Rosewater often answers important Magic design questions from curious players. On Tuesday, July 1st, Rosewater gave players <a href="https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/787882322917801984/maros-edge-of-eternities-teaser">a teaser for what to expect</a> in the next Magic set, Edge of Eternities.
<h2>Mark Rosewater’s Edge of Eternities Teaser</h2>
To directly quote Rosewater's post, here are a few notable abilities you can expect from the new set:
<blockquote>• repeatable activated ability that lets you draw two cards and create a 2/2 creature token
• white card that can return noncreature, nonland cards from the graveyard to the battlefield
• another “Arch” charm
• card that makes you choose odd or even
• new artifact token called Munitions
• variant on devour
• card that lets you take control of an opponent
• legendary five-color artifact
• poison card
• card that grants an ability to Slivers</blockquote>
After these, Rosewater showcased some rules text, albeit many likely only in part:
<blockquote>• “Whenever you play a land or cast a spell, draw a card.”
• “If it’s not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature.”
• “You may play lands from your graveyard.”
• “you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of enchanted permanent.”
• “Artifact cards and red cards in your hand have”
• “put target creature from defending player’s graveyard onto the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.”
• “The first spell each player casts during each of their turns may be cast without paying its mana cost.”
• “X is the number of differently named lands you control.”
• “Artifacts you control are Foods in addition to their other types”
• “Spells you cast have affinity for artifacts.”</blockquote>
After that, Mark gave us a few creature typelines for Edge of Eternities:
<blockquote>• Creature – Jellyfish Scientist
• Creature – Insect Artificer
• Creature – Plant Scorpion
• Creature – Drix Assassin
• Creature – Elemental Lhurgoyf
• Creature – Mite
• Artifact Creature – Robot Pangolin
• Legendary Creature – Kavu Scout
• Legendary Creature – Lobster Citizen
• Creature – Eldrazi</blockquote>
Finally, Mark provided some names in the set:
<blockquote>• Close Encounter
• Command Bridge
• Decode Transmissions
• Emergency Eject
• Invasive Maneuvers
• Lost in Space
• Nebula Dragon
• Space-Time Anomaly
• Systems Override
• Tractor Beam</blockquote>
<h2>Thoughts on the Teaser</h2>
Overall, we're excited to see all the new cards! Players seem especially interested in what a Munitions token will do.
We are also quite intrigued about the (probably) attack trigger that puts a creature from the defending player's graveyard onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Are there strings attached to that trigger?
Furthermore, it is very cool that we will be seeing a return of the Eldrazi in the set. However, we are fairly aware of the number crunch for colors in the set. Because colorless nonartifact cards come first in the set number order, we can anticipate only one Eldrazi, if not a very small handful more.
In addition, we also seriously cannot wait to see the Lobster Citizen legendary creature, and what it is capable of. Is it just a "silly little guy"? Could it be a menace in Constructed? We'll just have to wait and find out!
Finally, what in the world(s) could Nebula Dragon do? That name is amazing!
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
We're super excited for Edge of Eternities here at EDHREC. Are you? Let us know in the comments what teasers you're most hyped for!

Magic Head Designer Provides Teaser for Edge of Eternities

Edge of Eternities (EOE) is close to unveiling its first previews; they may arrive as soon as Friday, June 20th. The set and setting both show potential and have many implications for the known Magic Multiverse. However, since the advent of the Universes Beyond initiative, players have wondered what tie-ins might apply to a set like EOE.
This article aims to explore the potential of the space opera set and discern whether any particular intellectual properties mesh well with the potential that Magic: The Gathering could provide.
As such, I'll list a few options that seem feasible, as well as an Honorable Mention that isn't quite there for a few reasons. Before you inquire, Star Wars is a Disney property, as are Firefly, Serenity, and The Fifth Element, all by way of Fox. For that reason, we are not considering these for the potential of a tie-in. With that, let's (boldly) go!
<h2>Honorable Mention: Lost In Space (1965)</h2>
<div id="attachment_156641" style="width: 402px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/lost-in-space-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156641" class="wp-image-156641" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/lost-in-space-poster.png" alt="Lost In Space (1965).

Lost In Space, a television show from 1965, is my choice of an Honorable Mention for this article, as it's memorable for the few major iconic aspects it has.
However, while it's been remade into multiple films and even a Netflix show, the source material is a bit obscure for modern audiences. As Magic is a game with an intended demographic of 13+ years of age, many of this show's nuances would be lost on its younger players and collectors.
Furthermore, Lost In Space is a CBS property now, and as such is owned in part by Paramount, but it was originally a 20th Century Fox production. With Disney owning Fox and developing another rival card game, Lost In Space may not get the attention it might still need to shine.
<h2>The Dune Series</h2>
<div id="attachment_156642" style="width: 383px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156642" class="wp-image-156642" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png" alt="Dune (1984). Image credit: Universal Pictures" width="373" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png 600w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster-200x300.png 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px" /></a>Dune (1984). Image credit: Universal Pictures</div>
Author Frank Herbert's magnum opus, the Dune novel series, was such a successful series that it received multiple films adapted from it. Legendary Pictures' Dune film series seems like the shoo-in for Magic: The Gathering to adapt into Universes Beyond (and rightly so, as Legendary is adapting Magic for the screen!).
However, it's also plausible that we could get the Dune of 1984, directed by the late, great David Lynch.
The Dune series as a whole already has a ton going for it. It's a space opera, and so it fits right into the timeline for Edge of Eternities to tie it into things. We recently got a card called <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sandworm" href="#" target="_blank">Sandworm</a> in Final Fantasy (a far cry from Shai-Hulud, yes, but a Sandworm nonetheless). Not to mention, Outlaws of Thunder Junction recently gave us a plethora of cards with the Desert subtype!
For these reasons and probably more, Dune could quite possibly be a tie-in we're on the verge of seeing.
<h2>The Outer Worlds (2019)</h2>
<div id="attachment_156643" style="width: 429px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156643" class="wp-image-156643" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png" alt="The Outer Worlds (2019). Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment" width="419" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png 600w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art-225x300.png 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px" /></a>The Outer Worlds (2019).

In a world simultaneously plagued by a space race and the rat race, The Outer Worlds feels a bit on the money. However, as it has been pointed out to me, it too essentially has space operatic elements.
We already know that Wizards of the Coast really likes when a property they're adapting to Universes Beyond has something upcoming when the Universes Beyond adaptation releases. Lord of the Rings had The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. Fallout's television show came out around the same time its Commander decks did. And Jurassic World: Dominion was relatively fresh in players' minds when Lost Caverns of Ixalan came out.
With a sequel coming out later this year, The Outer Worlds might be a great choice for a tie-in with Edge of Eternities.
<h2>The Star Trek Series</h2>
<div id="attachment_156644" style="width: 405px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156644" class="wp-image-156644" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png" alt="Star Trek (1966). Image credit: Paramount Global" width="395" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png 500w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster-212x300.png 212w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px" /></a>Star Trek (1966). Image credit: Paramount Global</div>
Finally, and what I believe might be the most apt possibility for a tie-in with Edge of Eternities, we have the Star Trek series.
As Star Wars' biggest competitor for "greatest space opera," Star Trek is also an eligible space opera that players will resonate with most out of all the others. A more utopian look at the future of galactic peace than either Star Wars or Dune, Paramount Global also owns this property.
For those at home keeping score, Paramount Global is the entity that hosts shows like SpongeBob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender on its streaming service, Paramount+. If those two seem even a little bit familiar to you, it's no surprise. We previously got a Universes Beyond property for it (in SpongeBob's case) or will later this year (in ATLA's case).
So, in many ways, Star Trek is likely the most plausible option for a tie-in for Edge of Eternities out of all of these possibilities by far.
With that, I'd like to open the floor to you, dear readers. What space opera makes the most sense for Wizards of the Coast to add to their Universes Beyond portfolio? And are you excited for Edge of Eternities? Sound off below!
