All Magic: The Gathering Avatar: The Last Airbender Cards Revealed So Far: A Deep Dive into the Four Nations

Wizards of the Coast is officially stepping into the world of bending with the highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender Universes Beyond set, slated for a worldwide release on November 21, 2025. Following an initial “First Look” event on August 12, 2025, and subsequent previews, a number of cards have been officially revealed, giving fans a clear picture of how the beloved animated series will be translated into the game’s mechanics. The set introduces new “Bending” keywords, returns fan-favorite card types, and features iconic characters with multiple versions, capturing their journey throughout the show. This article compiles every card officially revealed so far, along with a breakdown of the new mechanics and what they mean for the game’s future.

This is a landmark collaboration that brings together one of the most celebrated animated series of all time with the world’s most popular trading card game. The set promises a rich, flavorful experience for fans of both franchises, with stunning art, a focus on the “Ally” creature type, and a variety of product types, from Play Boosters and Collector Boosters to Scene Boxes and a Commander’s Bundle. The cards themselves are a testament to the developers’ dedication to honoring the source material, with mechanics and abilities that perfectly reflect the characters’ personalities and bending styles.

New “Bending” Keywords and Returning Mechanics

The core of the Avatar: The Last Airbender set is a new suite of “Bending” keywords, each with a unique effect that aligns with the four elements. These mechanics are a flavorful way to represent the powers of the benders and will shape how players build their decks. The revealed cards also show a return of established mechanics that are a perfect fit for the world of Avatar.

• Airbending: This mechanic allows you to exile a target permanent. The exiled card’s owner may then cast it for a reduced mana cost of 2. This is a flavorful way to represent airbending’s ability to displace or “push” things away, giving it a powerful but not permanent removal effect. The card Airbending Lesson and a variant of Avatar Aang have this ability.
• Waterbending: This ability is paid for by tapping artifacts and/or creatures on your side of the battlefield to reduce its cost. This represents the Water Tribe’s ability to draw power from their surroundings and allies.
• Firebending: This ability, seen on Fire Lord Zuko, adds red mana to a player’s mana pool during combat. This mechanic captures the aggressive and explosive nature of firebending, rewarding players for attacking and burning down their opponents.
• Earthbending: This mechanic turns a land you control into a creature with +1/+1 counters on it. When the land creature dies, it returns to the battlefield tapped. This perfectly captures the essence of Toph’s “First Metalbending” card, allowing her to turn land into a living creature.
• Transforming Sagas: The set will feature new Saga cards that tell a story from the show, and upon completion, they transform into a powerful permanent. The revealed card The Rise of Sozin is a Saga that, once its story concludes, transforms into the legendary creature Fire Lord Sozin, a formidable 5/5 creature.
• Allies: The “Ally” creature type, which was a core part of the Zendikar block, is making a return. This subtype gains power when other Allies enter the battlefield, which is a perfect fit for the show’s theme of different characters and nations coming together to fight a common enemy. The card Avatar Enthusiasts is a common card that represents this mechanic.
