Kaladesh

Kaladesh pre-orders will begin September 2nd, 2016. In September 2016, Magic the Gathering takes us to the plane of Kaladesh for the first time. The home plane of the planeswalker Chandra Nalaar, we have seen small glimpses of this brand new plane in Magic Origins. As a child, Chandra's natural talent as a pyromancer brought unwanted attention from the Consul, the militaristic anti-magic regime that rules the plane of Kaladesh. Fearing for young Chandra's life, her parents Pia and Kiran Nalaar fled with her from the city, hounded by the Consul's forces. It was the tragic circumstances that followed that ignited Chandra's planeswalking spark, allowing her to flee Kaladesh and the Consul who wished her dead. On Kaladesh, mages are rare - persecuted by the ruling Consul. Work that would normally be carried out with the use of magic on other planes in the Magic the Gathering universe are performed instead by mechanic automatons and machines on Kaladesh. These artifact creatures, like the flying Thopters, are powered by Aether, the use of which is heavily policed. Mages and especially the art of pyromancy are forbidden and punishable by death. It is under these circumstances that we visit the plane of Kaladesh for the first time...
