On January 17, the official previews for Phyrexia: All Will Be One will begin, due for release to MTG Arena on February 7! A majority of the cards are already revealed to the public due to the leaks in the Dominaria Remastered packs, which you can check out below if you cannot wait.
As is the ritual before the beginning of the preview season for each set, MTGās head designer Mark Rosewater (often shortened to MaRo) gives us a bit of a teaser about what we can expect from the set over onĀ his Tumblr, Blogatog. It usually includes abilities, creature types, and other unusual or noteworthy text that will appear on cards from the set, along with some clues about returning characters and more.
This morning, MaRo published the teaser for Phyrexia: All Will Be One if you are still following along without having seen any of the leaks:
