What is Strixhaven?

Strixhaven: School of Mages is a Magic: The Gathering setting built around a magical university on the plane of Arcavios.

In the story, Strixhaven University is a place where students train in very different styles of magic. That variety shows up in the set’s identity, which is organized into five colleges, each with its own theme and two-color vibe.

If you don’t know the lore, no worries. You can show up, open cards, build a deck, and have a great time.

The five colleges (quick guide)

A quick “pick your vibe” snapshot:

  • Lorehold (Red/White): history, artifacts, and ancient magic
  • Prismari (Blue/Red): expressive spellcraft and elemental arts
  • Quandrix (Green/Blue): math-magic, patterns, and fundamental forces
  • Silverquill (White/Black): magical words, rhetoric, and ink
  • Witherbloom (Black/Green): life-and-death magic and nature’s edge
