Wizards of the Coast took to MagicCon Las Vegas 2025 to show off its Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration, revealing a sneak peek at the art and abilities featured on the Avatar Aang and Aang, Master of Elements cards.
Aang’s introduction into the MTG universe was unveiled with a time-lapse showing how some of that shiny new, hand-drawn art was created. The first of the two new cards is the all-encompassing Avatar Aang, a Legendary Creature – Human Avatar Ally. It reads, “Whenever you waterbend, earthbend, firebend, or airbend, draw a card. Then if you’ve done all four this turn, transform Avatar Aang.”

Meanwhile, there’s the very space-y Aang, Master of Elements, Legendary Creature – Avatar Ally card. While Avatar Aang sees the titular character in his all-powerful Avatar state, this one shows Aang connecting to his power in another way. It reads, “At the beginning of each upkeep, you may transform Aang, Master of Elements. If you do, you gain 4 life, draw four cards, put four +1/+1 counters on him, and he deals 4 damage to each opponent.”
A closer look at the Magic: The Gathering and Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration will arrive August 12, 2025. The set will then see its full launch come November 21, 2025.
Each Magic: The Gathering collaboration marks a major moment for Wizards of the Coast and fans alike. Its most recent crossover introduced a set of Final Fantasy cards into the mix, including appearances from locations and names from across the series, including Cloud, Moogles, Tidus, Sephiroth, Noctis, and more. It’s been such a hit that many cards have been subjected to significant price increases.
