The Multiverse is at stake in March of the Machine, Wizards of the Coast’s new Magic: The Gathering set. It’s coming out next month, but you can get a look at the striking art from the set right here.
Here are the details of the story and setting: “The March of the Machines has commenced. The Phyrexians are ready to conquer the entire Multiverse. Commanding the charge is Elesh Norn. Phyrexia had success invading the plane Mirrodin, and now they’re taking the fight everywhere. In order to travel across the multiverse, they’ve activated their greatest weapon: Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree. Through its sprawling branches they send their mechanical legions to convert all planes. From Kamigawa to Ikoria the contagion proliferates. Realmbreaker’s gnarled branches are puncturing the surface of every plane. The stakes have never been higher, and everyone is rising to the defence of their home. But whose home will survive the invasion, and whose home won’t?”
