Secrets of Strixhaven is Magic: The Gathering's upcoming 111th expansion and is to be released on April 24, 2026. It is a return to Strixhaven University on the plane of Arcavios. Killian Lu, Dina, Rootha Squallheart, and other returning characters are now recent graduates, putting their magic to practice in the wider world. The set also features the five students introduced in Lorwyn Eclipsed just choosing their colleges. Separate from the main storyline, the novel Omens of Chaos, by Seanan McGuire, tells the story of Strixhaven's first class of interplanar students, who have traveled to Arcavios via Omenpaths.
Secrets of Strixhaven features Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, a Draft Night box, a Bundle, a limited-edition "Codex Bundle", two preconstructed Theme Decks, and five preconstructed Commander decks. The set also features a Mystical Archive bonus sheet, similar to the original Mystical Archive. The Headliner for this set is Emeritus of Ideation, which features a serialized version (#1–500) with art by Mark Poole.
