What's Coming To Magic: The Gathering From Universes Beyond? | Professor's Logical Predictions

Hearing the Prof struggle with Japanese names is equal parts pain and sheer delight.

I'm just so tired, boss.

The bit at the start, 'remember From The Vault? Remember Duel Decks?', that right there hit me in my core, I LOVED those two product lines in particular. Elves VS Goblins, you'll always be alive in my heart.

There was an old fantasy property from the 90s that was really unique with new characters set in a world called Dominaria, would love to see that in Magic.

The universe I'd most love to see is Magic's own.

The delivery of "small indie company called, Disney" was perfect 😂

My prediction is that there will be a Power Rangers UB product. Hasbro currently owns the Power Rangers IP, Power Rangers and Magic the Gathering are basically the same age (Super Sentai notwithstanding). Older stuff as nostalgia for older players and newer stuff for the younger players. It could easily use the Morph mechanic (which is both flavorful for the IP and is a fun mechanic).

I predict the Magic community itself will be the next UB IP. Already looking forward to an overpowered Josh from CZ commander. And a Tolarian Community College land.

I'd love to see a FromSoftware line up

I’m thoroughly surprised that power rangers wasn’t considered knowing that Hasbro owns the IP now and honestly wouldn’t be that hard to make it as a secret lair

You know what could be really beatiful to see and yet something that would make fans basically faint? A Dark souls crossover

I feel like Brandon Sanderson will have something eventually. He's a big writer and fan of magic. Also Brent Weeks made a card game in one of his books that was heavily inspired by magic so we could see something from him as well.

I miss the three set blocks so much... 😢

you know as I clicked on the video I said to myself "damn I'd love a Gundam Witch From Mercuary UB set, I'd definitely try and get a suletta mercury card if they printed one" as I literally looked at my suletta mercury figure next to me, and I'm glad the prof assured me it's a possibility

As a Monster Hunter fan id love to see some MH rep, theres a lot of locales(lands), creatures, characters, weapons, armour and items thatd translate really well into MTG

A Game of Thrones set could be wicked. Faceless Men could use a ninjitsu-esque mechanic. Targaryens with a mechanic for bonding each one to a dragon. White Walkers as reanimation faction. Return of snow lands and Starks who interact with them. Each of the castles as nonbasic lands. For commander, maybe a dynasty system where you can have any number of commanders from a single dynasty but only one can be in play at once, so you might start the game with Aegon the Conquerer as your commander, then when he dies instead of resummoning him you instead switch to Maegor (you still add command tax) and then later you can switch to Daenerys.

I think part of the reason Gundam is a likely franchise that you missed is that Bandai Namco, the licensing parent, has already crossed over with MtG with the Godzilla cards

I would love to see Mortal Kombat and He-man, but since it's owned by mattel probably Gijoe makes a bigger chance.

Hearing Prof say "Suletta Mercury" in an actual video is giving me life LMAO. (Huge fan of The Witch from Mercury here, can't wait for this show to continue ruining my life!)

They should pick berserk for secret lair. The art of Berserk is gorgeous.

That whispered "...nothing" when you mentioned what you wanted from Universes Beyond made me laugh so hard I spilt soup out of my mouth!

it fills me with great joy to hear the Prof speak of Gundam =^)

I think Sailor Moon with double-faced transform cards would be pretty rad.

I can't describe how little I want any of this to happen.

A draftable Final Fantasy set honestly sounds like the dream. I know they've announced FF, but not sure what kind of product it would be. But FF is one of those IPs that they could easily do a draft set... or three. Maybe I just want fantasy IPs to be the main thing we do with UB. LotR always made sense to me as a set we should get. Should be interesting as Final Fantasy already has TCG.

Batman should be a UB commander deck based around equipment, vehicles, and clues.

Bandai owning a lot of rights to gundam and having their own card games probably means all Bandai property is off limits. I'd expect more Capcom, Square Enix, and maybe even a From Software crossover for the Souls games.

If a TLOZ secret lair would exist, I just want it to be an all link one. Hero of Time, Hero of Twilight, Hero of the Wilds and Hero of Winds, as the most well known iterations. Wolf link could definitely be a cool tovolar alt.

While I would love a Gundam secret lair I don’t know if it would happen as they have already collaborated with Battle Spirits. They have multiple Gundam series as different decks spanning the colors for that game and Battle Spirits is huge in Japan.

I would love to see an Elder Scrolls universe in Magic!

Final Fantasy has a Card Game, but it was confirmed that we would see an Universes beyond! I can't wait to see what we get.

man spent a whole episode making me feel old

I need the Mane 6 cycle of Friendship is Magic to be finished so I can finally finish my Princess Twilight Sparkle deck!

Great video, Prof! I think Marvel and Star Wars may still be a possibility since Hasbro does have the rights to produce merchandise for both of the properties. One of their most successful merchandise lines are their action figure lines for both Marvel and Star Wars. The bigger issue I'd say is that both Marvel and Star Wars don't fit thematically with Magic: The Gathering, but I guess anything is possible with Universes Beyond.

One of the most popular creature types to enter mtg has been Dinosaurs. I could definitely see a Jurassic Park secret lair along side a return to Ixalan or Ikoria.

I actually think that a monster hunter UB would be somewhat likely, soon even. Capcom let Wotz make the street fighter secret layer about a year before the release of SF6. With MH6 somewhere on the horizon for the next year or two I think there's a solid chance we'll get some cool monster on cardboard.

A Discworld set would be pretty neat. I kinda want to make a Sam Vimes Night Watch commander deck.

Welp, this aged like fine milk. MtG x Marvel is coming...

Prof revealing the newest mono-blue merfolk aura curse by uttering 'everypony' was a nice bonus to the spinfoil hat theorycrafting.

I remember when Star Wars and Star Trek both had CCGs made by the same game studio, Decipher. Both games played vastly different.

Gundam is significantly connected with Bandai, who produces Battle Spirits Saga, and that game is even getting Gundam promo cards. Thus, the odds of it showing up in Magic is unlikely, at least for now.

If they ever did an It's Always Sunny set I'll be so down 😂

Personally I wouldn’t mind an Elder Scrolls crossover in the same vein of what they’re doing with LOTR. Plenty of characters, lore, and artifacts to run an entire set. Plus having all the Daedric artifacts as Legendary artifact cards and collecting them all would be a dopamine rush or running Tiber Septim as my Commander

I would love to see a Gundam Secret Lair, honestly, I have a Gundam Shorikai Alter, but I feel like after we just got Transformers pretty recently we won't see giant robots for awhile. But I hope I'm wrong!

A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles secret lair deck would be interesting. Could always use more ninjitsu!

As a big Gundam fan I geeked out when you brought it up and hearing the names being said brought a smile to my face 😁

As someone who has an entire Shorikai commander deck proxied to be Gundams and pilots, I definitely am on board!!

I love that prof is able to review and speculate on future sets, and remind me of the dread of the passage of time as I am an aging millennial. Thanks Prof! 😀

I would really love to see Phyrexia All Will Be One 2.

I'd love a Cosmere universes beyond. And Sanderson is also into magic, so who knows. Maybe one day

DC comics would be fun. Compared to marvel, they fit a bit more with the color pie. I could see a 5 color lantern deck with the different corps for example

One that I would absolutely LOVE to see is a Cosmere set of some kind. Brandon Sanderson has already written a free Magic the Gathering novella and he’s a huge fan in general (he appeared on Game Knights) but there is SO much that could be done. Each series within the Cosmere could be it’s own set with Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, and so much more!

Harry Portter would be nice. With the wizzards and differemt monsters and schools they have. I think theres so much potential.

I could see them doing Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korea. They could do one commander deck for each element and a 5th for the Avatar. They could also use the different colour parings to represent different sub-bending styles. Another option would be to do Power Rangers since Hasbro now owns them, but it would be hard since there are so many teams/seasons to choose from and not everyone will know the different teams (older fans will remember the Saban era teams, late 2000s fans the Disney era teams, and current/younger fans the Neo-Saban and Hasbro era teams). I know they did a card game during Power Rangers Megaforce as a tie in for the card gimmick in the season and the card that came with the toys (for use in the morpher) so they had a use outside the toys and could make cards for legacy teams. But they could still since they did it for Transformers after their tcg got canned (Summer 2018 - Summer 2020) and would be able to include the teams since Megaforce as well along with the other teams. Probably would have to do it like Transformers and do secret lairs (Characters as creatures, weapons and vehicles as artifacts, and zords and megazords as artifact creatures. Could do something special for Ranger power-up forms and teams with multi-combination megazords and different megazords)

your "nothing" detail is on the spot. congratulations. you are amazing

man i sure would love a gundam secret lair. Witch from Mercury is insanely good and popular, and i'm a long time fan. plus, i like vehicles so the more the merrier

I know it would absolutely never happen, but I would go wild over a Brandon Sanderson/Cosmere Universes Beyond. I'm so ready for my Dalinar, Kelsier, and Hoid commander decks

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but given that he was a member of the same writing group as Tolkien, I feel like it would be a good idea to include The Chronicles of Narnia, maybe even the sci-fi works of C. S. Lewis. Even if you stay strictly within Narnia, you have Aslan with his God-like powers and prophecy, the variety of humans who can add something from each book and, of course, the Witch and her army, Terrible Word of Power and her magic/temptations. Either way, I feel like it would be appropriate to give players a chance to have Gandalf and Aslan work together against Saron and the Witch.

Would love to see a Doom/Quake secret lair or universes beyond. Feel like there could be good cards from those

One word: Malazan. It would be perfect - there are no visual media that have covered it in the past, so the artists would be mostly free to do their thing without everyone becoming obsessive. There are close to 30 books to pull from, and it's still dark fantasy, so it fits Magic far better than Scifi.

I just hope for Voltron one day so i can make a real Voltron commander

He-Man would probably work very well. Hence it had some new series’s and could use some great PR with a magic set.

I would love to see a Brandon Sanderson Mistborn or Stormlight Archives Secret Lair

The artwork cards are such a cool idea to refresh the game. But they should keep it to maybe one a year so it doesn’t get burnt out

I would love to see stuff from Capcom like a Monster Hunter set would be so amazing to me lol

Power rangers is currently a hasbro IP. I would actually love to see them

Well... Disney threw a curveball...

Wow I loved all of these suggestions! Now I REALLY want a Gundam Secret Lair and Batman and Joker commander decks 😅

I want to see an Iron Maiden secret Lair Zombie set featuring popular zombie themed cards with Maidens mascot Eddie.

Funnily enough I was just discussing with a friend if Goron, Gerudo's, Hylians, Zonai and Sheikah would get their own creature type or not in a Legend of Zelda set in the possible future.

If there's a star trek secret lair I would want vulcans to have the creature type elf because in almost every way Vulcans are elves.

MtG should do a Passion of the Christ secret lair deck. Wins by Insurrection and act of treason effects with sacrifice theme. It would be fitting but might make some people a bit cross... 😂

God, I would actually murder for a DC crossover

I really would love an always sunny crossover.

Would love to see a Dune Universes Beyond. It is the Middle Earth of SciFi.

While I have my doubts about Gundam (or anything Bandai owned) getting even the Secret Lair treatment, I can still dream of all the cool Battle cards we could get from that franchise. Plus, the potential to make robot tribal more viable...

I saw Soul Calibur and my heart fluttered, and I understood the Universes beyond enjoyer stance.

Can't wait for the DC set. If they do it as well as they did the Lord of the Rings set, we will finally get Batman with Indestructible, Aquaman with Flying and Superman with an ETB effect that kills a creature.

Im surprised the Castlevania games haven’t been tapped into for Secret Lairs, given the diverse array of unique characters and iconic designs.

I'm watching TNG from the beginning, currently up to season 4. So many excellent life lessons.

As someone watching this video with a fever, I had to double check I wasn't hallucinating when there was a reel about historic gundam characters playing

Everyone is forgetting about gaming , Halo would be amazing in MTG , Gears of war. Diablo 4 , Fallout, Overwatch , Ect

My vote is for DUNE, Game of Thrones and Never Ending Story!

I can't wait for the Magic The Gathering universes beyond set!

As a graphic designer and a fan if MTG, I have been creating some test cards for a Mortal Kombat crossover.

Already got my Batman Commander Deck. There is no better detective, Inquisitor Greyfax. 😉 Everyone needs to get beaten up for some nice little clues. And there are so many cards doing a great job as the Bat Family. Coop ON! 💚

I would love to see a Dragonlance set!

I want a Witcher set so bad.

I'd be kind of shocked if anything Bandai got allowed in other games at the moment, especially Gundam. I believe in July, there's going to be a Gundam add-in/crossover with Battle Spirits Saga, the revamp of one of their oldest games they're trying to kick off in NA again, and they're kind of iron-gripped on it. Though, they DO like money, so I've seen stranger things.

I feel like The Elder Scrolls has to be up there, right? The setting and lore is enough to encompass several full-scale sets, but the deep lore is pretty niche and obscure. I could see a Morrowind or Skyrim-themed set, but a commander release with whatever the main factions within TESVI will be feels more likely as a marketing move, with secret lairs featuring fan-favorite stuff they miss from the older titles.

When the Final Fantasy set hits I'm going to build Chocobos Matter immediately

A Gundam Secret Lair would be hard for me not to throw money at. With all the anime/manga artists contributing to recent sets, a Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for those unaware) would be amazing. A DC Secret Lair also seems like easy money for Hasbro.

I think GIJOE could get a secret lair at least

I think they would do well on collaboration with Brandon Sanderson. His books are adjacent in setting and he is a fan of MTG.

Elden Ring would be the perfect IP for a Universe beyond, thematic fitting and great lore and art

Cross over IP is a tell tale sign a game is in its final stages of maturity. “We’ve run out of good ideas, let’s paint it a different color and sell it”. Over 3 decades… What a run.

Not sure why Universes Beyond could not just be a sub game of Magic. Keep the worlds separate. Essentially, like MTG making a second TCG universe.

I’d love a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set of commander decks like the warhammer themed decks.

a trigger secret lair would be one of the most insane things they could do for an anime crossover XD
