Magic: The Gathering's upcoming set, Theros: Beyond Death, is just a few weeks away which means hype is at an all time high for the return to one of MtG's most popular planes
The English set name is a direct reference to this epithet, following the Mega Evolution era convention of naming English sets after the featured Pokmon's lore rather than translating the Japanese title directly
There are plenty of games and shows out there that fit almost perfectly into the Magic design style
It also ties into the excitement for the set, including drafting off of all the marketing for it, it provides the opportunity to flesh out creative elements of the current plane, and it differentiates the decks from one another
That might seem inconsistent, but youre in all five colors
Some collectors choose complete sets, others want only rare cards, and some just enjoy the nostalgia
