The fall is the beginning of the 30-year celebration of Magic: The Gathering that kicks off with Dominaria United, a return to the original Magic plane, and the start of a new four-set storyline.
There are some key differences with Dominaria United compared to the previous set Streets of New Capenna from Spring. Reveals begin with story chapters early in August. The story is crucial for Dominaira United and that is being reflected with it being front and center.
Card spoilers don’t begin until Aug. 18. Both main set and Commander spoilers will be revealed at the same time, which is a departure from how previous sets handled the products. Usually, Commander spoilers happen after the main set is revealed.
Streets of New Capenna experimented with having tabletop prerelease ahead of the digital release on Magic Arena and Magic Online. Dominaria United reverts to the normal schedule with digital release happening shortly before tabletop prerelease and a week before the worldwide release.
