What is the MTG Duskmourn release date? This horror-inspired set, which takes place entirely within one haunted mansion, will be the final premier set release of 2024. Below you’ll find a timeline of the key dates for Duskmourn: House of Horror, as well as up to date news on the set, and the first spooky spoilers.
Duskmourn comes out surprisingly soon, its nightmares unleashed just one month after the whiskers and whimsy of Bloomburrow. To see where this MTG set fits in among the rest of the year’s products, check out our MTG release schedule guide.
MTG Duskmourn release dates
We now know that the global MTG Duskmourn release date is September 27. The information was first revealed in an article on the game’s Japanese website. It will be available to preorder from June 28.
While it makes sense to have the horror set out well before Halloween, this is a surprisingly early date for 2024’s fourth premier set – we’ve grown used to the final ‘main’ set of the year arriving in November.
This means Duskmourn previews will likely be cropping up from as early as the first week of September. Prerelease events are due to run from September 20, and the MTG Arena release a couple of days later, around September 24.
MTG Duskmourn spoilers
We’re expecting more Duskmourn spoilers very soon, but we’ve already been shown the first couple of cards from the set.
Overlord Cycle
As we’ve seen art for Overlord of the Boilerbilges, and the card for Overlord of the Hauntwoods, logic holds that this is a cycle of Avatar Horrors – it’s likely that each one will have this new Bestow keyword, whatever that means.
Overlord of the Hauntwoods has a strange ability. It creates a colorless land token that is every basic land type whenever it enters the battlefield or attacks.
Enduring Cycle
This is another cycle, presumably of animal ‘glimmer’ creatures that come back as enchantments after they die. The first we’ve seen, Enduring Tenacity, is pretty exciting – it’s cheaper Sanguine Bond! Perhaps each card in this cycle will relate to an existing, iconic enchantment.
MTG Duskmourn Commander decks
Right now, we only know the names of the four Duskmourn Commander decks. They are:
- Miracle Worker
- Death Toll
- Jump Scare
- Endless Punishment
We can only theorize about what these decks could be. Miracle Worker might have the Miracle mechanic, while Death Toll is likely themed around death triggers. Jump Scare is less clear – perhaps blink or blitz – and we like the idea that Endless Punishment is centred on curses, but perhaps it’s a life drain deck instead.
MTG Duskmourn news
Right now, Duskmourn is still shrouded in mystery. We know that the set takes place entirely in one giant haunted house, but Wizards has remained tight-lipped about whether there’s anything to this MTG Plane outside of the mansion.
Back in April, we found out which MTG planeswalker would appear in the set. It’s Kaito, seen in the artwork above helping out a new character. This piece also gives us a better look at what clearly seems to be a P.K.E meter from Ghostbusters, or Magic’s take on one at any rate.
