New Magic: The Gathering Showcase Cards From Throne of Eldraine Revealed


Wizards of the Coast will be releasing new Magic: The Gathering cards with special kind of card frame in Throne of Eldraine, and they're called Showcase cards. The Showcase versions feature a unique fairy tale-themed design, and you can get these cards from Throne of Eldraine Collector boosters that will be priced around $20 to $25 USD each, and it's aimed at players who value collecting cards. There will be more foil cards as well as other new treatments, and it will be the only booster where you can get extended-art cards.

Today, Wizards of the Coast revealed three new Showcase versions of Adventure cards from Throne of Eldraine: "Oakhame Ranger", "Giant Killer", and "Faerie Guidemother". Check them out:

These Showcase cards look wonderful. There's a good amount of Throne of Eldraine cards with variants. You can check out them all in Wizards of the Coast's Fun Variant gallery.

Here's what Magic head designer Mark Rosewater said about Showcase frames back in July:

On showcase cards, the art and frame will be a new stylized version that plays into the set's theme. Each set will have its own unique showcase cards. Which cards get the treatment (and usually, it will just be cards from that set), and at what rarity, will vary from set to set, but it's our goal that you'll get a least a handful of showcase cards in every box. Throne of Eldraine specifically, has showcase cards in common, uncommon, rare, and mythic rare.

It looks like Wizards of the Coast is planning to release more Showcase cards in upcoming Magic sets. The Throne of Eldraine Showcase cards certainly look stunning, and the fairy tale-themed design looks fitting for Adventure cards.

Throne of Eldraine, the 82nd Magic expansion, is set to release on October 4. Prerelease events will take place on September 27 to 29.
