Help, There's Too Much Magic: The Gathering Stuff Launching In The Rest Of 2022
People saying there's too much Magic: The Gathering isn't exactly a new sentiment. Particularly over the last couple of years, it's felt like an unrelenting rush from one new set to the next with little time to breathe and take in all the new cards Wizards has released. At a time when players are begging Wizards of the Coast to slow down, it's gearing up for its busiest eight months ever.
The start of 2022 was relatively quiet, and began with Innistrad: Double Feature slinking out and fading into obscurity before anyone could truly comprehend how bad it was. Fortunately, Wizards more than made up for it by releasing two of the best Standard sets ever made back-to-back, with February's Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and April's Streets of New Capenna.

That wasn't how the schedule was supposed to go, though, as we were originally also scheduled for Unfinity in April 1, before pandemic-induced supply chain issues pushed it back to September. It's that delay that puts the fear of God into me. As a result of the delay, we're facing a severely backed up end to the year that means we're getting just shy of one set each month for the rest of 2022. Just thinking about all of them is utterly exhausting.
Just 32 days after the end of Streets of New Capenna's preview season, we're starting the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate spoilers on May 16. The set itself launches in June, less than two months after Streets of New Capenna. In July, a month after Commander Legends, we have Double Masters 2022. September has both the premier set Dominaria United and the new launch window of Unfinity, and sometime after that we'll have the final major set of the year, The Brothers' War.
