They’ll probably manage to push through anyway, because many cards from yesteryear are generally easier to understand than some of the newer ones we get, but it’s worth mentioning. That means that players who are unfamiliar with some of the older cards may find themselves a bit lost.

Sure, it’s a celebration of Dominaria - but because the plane has been so ubiquitous over the years, this means that some of the best cards in Magic: The Gathering hail from there. It’s refreshing, then, to be able to say that Dominaria Remastered is a truly wonderful Magic: The Gathering set one that not only does justice to the game itself, but also feels like a rare win for players when it comes to less exciting things, like its price point.ĭominaria Remastered is, in essence, more akin to a Masters set than anything else. That’s a lot of preamble to say that, in short, this set is a big deal - and if it’s bad that would be, well, very bad.

Not only that, but in an era when we’re getting more Magic: The Gathering than ever, with 2022 being exhausting for a lot of fans, each set feels both more fleeting and more important because we’ll be moving on swiftly from it. It’s advertised as being a celebration of the plane of Dominaria - one of the most popular worlds in MTG and the first plane we ever visited in Limited Edition Alpha - and pulls cards from 27 different sets across the game’s 30-year history. This being a remastered set means there are no new cards here, although there are some new pieces of artwork and new frames for older cards. Given that last year we dribbled out of the gate with the deeply underwhelming Innistrad: Double Feature, not to mention how good the similarly revamped Time Spiral Remastered was, the set has a lot of expectations and excitement around it. Dominaria Remastered is the first big Magic: The Gathering release of 2023.
