Explore the Grand Marine ... and More!

For years, Magic players asked us to take a trip beneath the depths and explore an underwater world. Taking Magic into a new kind of biome was a tall task, and our designers, artists, writers, and more blew it out of the water. Game Design reimagined what evasion looks like in a world without flying. Worldbuilding connected all five colors of mana to this marine realm. All of this was in service of making Nauctis: The Sunken Realm more than "underwater Magic." Every card in this set represents the passion of our team, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share it with you.

We hope you enjoy exploring Nauctis as much as we enjoyed creating it. See you in the depths, chum!

Nauctis: The Sunken Realm releases on February 5, 2027, and is available for preorder now from your local game store, TCGplayer, Amazon, and elsewhere Magic is sold.

What Are God Packs?

The whale gods of Nauctis aren't the only deities breaching Magic in this set. Starting with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, you'll be able to open God Packs in Booster Packs and Collector Boosters from Magic Multiverse sets. These are, fittingly, a divine experience. Every nonbasic card is a rare or mythic rare, ensuring maximum excitement. Plus, you'll be the talk of your local game store if you open one of these at a Prerelease.

In Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, 1 in every 1,000 Booster Packs will be a Booster God Pack, and 1 in every 300 Collector Boosters will be a Collector God Pack. For more details on what you can find in God Packs, check out this section of the article.

The Booster Fun of Nauctis: The Sunken Realm

Nauctis is a world unlike any other, an endless ocean where gods swim alongside their followers and benthic monstrosities lurk far, far from the surface. There's a bounty to be found at every level, and we've brought that to the set with a variety of beautiful Booster Fun treatments and highly collectible cards.

Abyssal Lotus

One word captures the imagination of Magic players like no other: "lotus." Bring the most powerful flora of Nauctis to your collection with the textless raised foil Abyssal Lotus headliner card. Available only in Collector Boosters, this version of Abyssal Lotus represents the wonder at the heart of Nauctis. Kelogsloops lovingly crafted an illustration that captures the benthic beauty of this card, and our Booster Fun team helped it bloom into the perfect centerpiece for your collection.

There will be approximately 500 Abyssal Lotus headliner cards printed. This version of Abyssal Lotus appears only in English in Collector Boosters of any language.

Sunken Treasures Box Toppers

Magic's most prized artifacts await you in Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, lying in the ocean's depths ... or at the top of a box. Sunken treasures Box Toppers transport Magic's splashiest artifacts to Nauctis, letting you bring famous reprints from Magic's history to your collection.

There are two types of sunken treasures cards. Pearlescent sunken treasures cards are available only in Nauctis: The Sunken Realm Box Toppers. These feature a new card treatment designed specifically for these cards. Start each box by opening your Box Topper, then journey into Nauctis with something truly worth treasuring.

In Collector Boosters, these cards can be found in our shimmering undersea foil treatment, which debuts in this set. It's as if the cards can barely contain the raw energy of these artifacts of the Grand Marine!

There are 15 classic reprints and 5 new-to-Magic Box Topper cards. Each Nauctis: The Sunken Realm Booster Pack box and Collector Booster box includes a Box Topper that contains 1 pearlescent sunken treasures card. Undersea foil sunken treasures cards are available only in Collector Boosters.

Ocean Panorama Cards

Some stories are too vast to be contained by a single card. Ocean panorama cards give the majesty of Nauctis the canvas it deserves, showcasing marine moments across a triptych of cards. Some of these depict the mighty gods of the plane, while others show the soon-to-be-bloodied waters of battle. Each triptych also features flavor text that connects the cards as one unified piece of the plane.

There are 24 ocean panorama cards. Non-foil and traditional foil ocean panorama cards appear in Booster Packs and Collector Boosters.

Coral Frame Cards

Wreathed in coral and illustrated in a vibrant, painterly style, coral frame cards reimagine our favorite pieces of this undersea world, taking you deeper into Nauctis with each spell you cast. The frame was designed by our Booster Fun team to fit a wide array of cards from the set, with selections that span the range of card types and characters. Bring coral to the command zone and beyond!

There are 38 coral frame cards. Non-foil and traditional foil coral frame cards appear in Booster Packs and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Lands and More

We're also highlighting the set's rare lands on a series of borderless cards! These cards offer a border-free glimpse into Nauctis to give players a close, firsthand look at this amazing underwater world.

Even more borderless treasures await—but we're not venturing that deep just yet! There are 7 rare borderless lands in Nauctis: The Sunken Realm. Non-foil and traditional foil borderless lands appear in Booster Packs and Collector Boosters.

Secret Lair Bundle Promo Cards

We're swimming just a little deeper to uncover a few more unimaginable secrets. The Secret Lair Bundle takes several of Nauctis: The Sunken Realm's greatest prizes and gives them a whole new look! For this set, we focused on characters and creatures emerging from the darkest waters. They're breaking through the shadows and into your decks, ready to light up the competition in style.

There are 10 different Secret Lair Bundle promo cards, with each Secret Lair Bundle containing 6 Booster Packs, 2 Collector Boosters, 20 full-art basic lands, and 2 of 10 Secret Lair Bundle promo cards.

Japan Showcase Cards

Nauctis is a rich realm, full of all sorts of marine life. That biodiversity deserves a matching variety of art styles, and these Japan Showcase cards deliver with a wave of beloved artists and eye-popping illustrations. Our Japanese Booster Fun team reimagined 10 cards with pieces inspired by Japanese hobby shops, complete with unique, frame-breaking artwork.

Starting with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, you can find Japan Showcase cards in more places! Traditional foil Japan Showcase cards appear in both Booster Packs and Collector Boosters, with fracture foil Japan Showcase cards appearing only in Collector Boosters.
