    JOURNEY INTO NYX

    - The Planeswalker Xenagos has boldly claimed a place in the pantheon of Theros. Heliod demands a champion to strike down the insolent deity.

     

     

    BORN OF THE GODS

    - The pantheon of Theros is complete! Xenagos has become the god of revelry. Yet far from bringing peace to the god-realm of Nyx, the satyr's ascension to godhood has only flung it into chaos, and the ripples are being felt across the mortal realm.

     

     

    Venture to Theros, plane of heroes, gods, and monsters.
    Here hydras, gorgons and satyrs of myth roam in a wild mystical world while the brave venture far beyond city walls to untamed lands and raging seas.
    Will divine oracles chart your destiny, or will you take matters into your own hands?

     

    Find both online or in store today!

    KHANS OF TARKIR

    - On Tarkir, the home plane of Sarkhan Vol, five warrior clans vie for dominance on the fields of battle, each wielding its own unique blend of fierce battle magic.

    Lead your Vikings to undiscovered islands in order to expand your territory; build farms and churches and gather your fortune. But beware for your fortune will not go unnoticed very long. Ships on the horizon threaten your great land and you will have to defend yourself against this menace.


    To expand your territories and clan, you will need to master the game’s clever rotating wheel. The price for islands and Vikings will change as players acquire more of them. The game will be tense until the end, and you will need to protect your islands against the ships that sail on the horizon. Are you the leader whose clan will rise above the others?
