Get ready for the most epic MagicCon Las Vegas ever! 🎉👏 Wizards of the Coast just dropped a ton of juicy announcements that will make your head spin 🤯. From The Hobbit to Reality Fracture, and even a new game called Mood Swings, there’s something for every Magic: The Gathering fan 🎊.
At MagicCon Las Vegas 2026, Wizards of the Coast took to the stage to spill the beans on a wealth of expansions for Magic: The Gathering, starting with The Hobbit 📚. Fans can gather their favorite heroes from the beginning of Bilbo’s adventures, long before he was just ‘Frodo’s Cousin’ 🤣. The Hobbit set will also retell the journey of Bilbo and Co., making an unexpected journey from The Shire to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim the Dwarven ancestral home and The Arkenstone, Thorin Oakenshield’s proof of kingship 👑.
But wait, there’s more! 🤔 The next set coming to the tabletops of Magic: The Gathering is Reality Fracture 🌀, which will continue the overarching MTG story from where Secrets of Strixhaven concludes 📖. Reality Fracture will feature a Jace Beleren who set up his base of operations in Hexhaven, a multi-versal version of Strixhaven that features flipped magical college colors 🎨.
And if that’s not enough, Mark Rosewater announced Mood Swings 🤯, a new trading card game that’s been nearly three decades in the making 🕰️. Mood Swings is designed as a faster, more accessible take on the trading card game genre, with a short time commitment to get a game in (two players could get a game in under 10 minutes) ⏱️.
Here are some of the key announcements:
- The Hobbit set will be released on August 14, with Gift Bundles launching on September 4, and a Battle of Five Armies Co-op Kit launching in 2027 📆
- Reality Fracture will launch in full on October 2 📆
- Mood Swings will launch exclusively on MTGSecretLair.com on June 1st 📆
- Each Mood Swings deck will cost $24.99 and contain 45 cards, with a consistent makeup of 23 commons, 14 uncommons, 6 rares, and 2 mythic rares 🎁
