Magic at the Kitchen Table: Your 2026 Family Guide to MTG

Magic: The Gathering is more than a strategy game—it’s a way to connect. Whether you’re looking for a new weekly activity to share with your partner or a way to engage the kids on game night, 2026’s newest releases are designed for high-energy, low-stress family fun.

The Family Favorite: Avatar: The Last Airbender Beginner Box

If you want to learn with your kids or a partner who has never played a trading card game, this is your starting point. The Avatar Beginner Box is a self-contained experience that uses the world of Aang and Korra to teach you the basics.

• Play Together, Right Away: The box features a guided tutorial match between Aang and Zuko. You don't need to study a rulebook; you simply open the decks and follow the "How to Play" guide to learn while you're actually playing.

• Guaranteed Variety: Unlike randomized packs, this box comes with 10 fixed themed decks. You are guaranteed to get themes like Waterbending and Earthbending. Just grab any two, shuffle them together, and you have a brand-new 40-card deck ready to go. It’s an instant, repeatable game night in one box.

Level Up Together: Lorwyn Eclipsed Theme Decks

Ready to take your games from the kitchen table to the local community? The Lorwyn Eclipsed Theme Decks are the perfect "Phase 2" for families and partners.

These are 60-card, battle-ready decks designed for the Standard format. If you and your partner want to start attending local events together, these provide a balanced and powerful experience right out of the box.

• Pick Your Side: Whether you prefer the strategic synergy of the Angels deck or the aggressive speed of the Pirates deck, these are tuned for fair and exciting games against one another.

• Modern Magic: Experience the beautiful storybook world of Lorwyn as it shifts between Day and Night. These decks are easy to pick up but offer the strategic depth that keeps the game interesting for years.
