The Multiverse is at stake in March of the Machine, Wizards of the Coast’s new Magic: The Gathering set. It’s coming out next month, but you can get a look at the striking art from the set right here.

Here are the details of the story and setting: “The March of the Machines has commenced. The Phyrexians are ready to conquer the entire Multiverse. Commanding the charge is Elesh Norn.
