MTG x Avatar The Last Airbender set details revealed: Release date, prices, products, and more

Spider-Man isn’t the only MTG crossover left this year: Avatar The Last Airbender is also on the way later this year! Ahead of the August 12, 2025 Magic: The Gathering presentation, we got a little sneak peek at what’s coming for the set. Everything from the release date, prices, new mechanics, and of course, a deluge of amazing spoilers, which you can find right here.

The MTG Avatar The Last Airbender set already feels like it’s full of the heart, emotion, and familiar moments fans remember from the television series, that’s for sure. As someone who found Avatar rather late, I’m nonetheless very excited, especially after seeing some of the cards in this set.

MTG x Avatar The Last Airbender release date and other important dates

MTG x Avatar The Last Airbender is launching on November 21, 2025, right around Thanksgiving time in America. It’s right as the holiday buying season kicks off, so I can imagine these cards are going to find themselves in a lot of holiday gift giving lists for 2025. The primary set for Avatar The Last Airbender (TLA) is legal in all formats.

The Avatar (TLE) tagged cards are Commander/Legacy/Vintage legal. In addition, individual cards are also legal where already available in other formats, so do keep that in mind for reprints. The Play Boosters will have TLA and TLE cards in them, so keep an eye out. In addition, here are some other important dates surrounding MTG Avatar The Last Airbender:

• Magic: The Gathering x Avatar: The Last Airbender debut stream: October 28
• Full Set Reveal: November 7
• Prerelease Events: November 14-20
• MTG Arena Release Date: November 18
• Tabletop Release Date: November 21

MTG x Avatar The Last Airbender to feature new “Elemental Bending” mechanics

What would an MTG x Avatar The Last Airbender set be without Bending? Each of the four basic bending styles appears to be appearing, with its own specific rules. Sorry, fans of Metalbending and Bloodbending, I haven’t seen any cards with those yet, despite there being a Toph, the First Metalbender being a card.

Here are some cards that feature the "bending" mechanic (Image via Wizards of the Coast)

Airbending, Waterbending, Firebending, and Earthbending are all available, across a variety of cards in the set. They primarily do appear to be color-coded, though not entirely. For example, The Rise of Sozin // Fire Lord Sozin is black, but has Firebending, and the three-colored Toph card also has Earthbending. We’ll just have to see how wide-spread it is. Below, you can see examples of abilities in each bending style:

• Airbending: When you airbend a permanent, exile it. As long as it remains exiled, its owner can cast it for 2 rather than its mana cost.
• Waterbending: When you cast Katara, Water Tribe’s Hope is in play, Waterbend X. Creatures you control have base power/toughness of X until end of turn. Only activate on your turn.
• Firebending: Whenever this creature attacks, gain X Red Mana. This lasts until end of combat.
• Earthbending: Target land you control. It becomes a 0/0 land with X +1/+1 counters on it and has haste. When it dies or is exiled, return it to play tapped.

It will be interesting to see how Waterbending works, because there’s another card with Waterbend that does something else: Aang’s Iceberg. It has Waterbend 3, which sacrifices the enchantment to Scry 2.
