As of September 2024, Wizards of the Coast has released 167 MTG sets over the game’s 31-year history, excluding a few edge cases – that’s an average of five per year. We spend our days knee-deep in both MTG news and historic sets – so we compiled this complete list of all Magic: The Gathering sets ever released, as well as the upcoming sets about to join the party.
We list all the upcoming MTG sets first, with the imminent sets and their release dates right up top. For more details on those, click through to our up-to-date MTG release schedule. After that, you’ll find the full timeline of every set released, starting with the most recent – Bloomburrow – and going all the way back to 1993’s Alpha set.
Our total of 167 counts Core, Expansion, Supplemental, Starter, and Compilation sets, as well as the infamous ‘Un-Sets’. We’ve excluded Wizards’ promotional MTG Secret Lair sets; format specific boxed sets and decks like the MTG Warhammer 40k commander crossover; and we don’t double-count for independent, digital-only MTG Arena releases.
The history of Magic is busy, and only getting busier, with ever accelerating releases showering us with endless new boosters and cards – but at the very least you’ve got Wargamer on your side, cataloguing it all! Happy hunting!
