Secrets of Strixhaven gives each of the five colleges its own exclusive mechanic for the first time, and each one plays very differently from the others.

The MTG Paradigm mechanic from Secrets of Strixhaven is getting nowhere near the attention it deserves. Cast a sorcery once, exile it, and from that point forward you get a free copy at the start of every single one of your turns for the rest of the game.

From a $5 card hitting $20 in eight days to a Reserved List rare climbing past $48, here are the biggest MTG singles price spikes of March 2026 with ve

Strixhaven is back and players are already losing their minds about it, and honestly, fair enough. MTG Secrets of Strixhaven drops April 24, 2026, and what we have seen so far paints a picture of one of the most anticipated proper Magic sets in years.
