- Three Jace cards show stages of his journey.
- Echoed Pairs keep the story focused on familiar characters.

## Summary

Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Reality Fracture set imagines a world reshaped by Planeswalker Jace Beleren, giving familiar characters and cards altered versions. Designers say the set’s “What If?” premise helps bring Jace’s story to a conclusion while offering a route into the game’s history for newer players.

The idea draws partly on 2007’s Planar Chaos, though Reality Fracture does not repeat that set’s focus on shifting effects between colours. Its Echoed Pairs feature characters chosen for their place in the current timeline, mostly on their home planes, while three Jace cards portray different stages of his journey. The designers also discussed the set’s contents and a delayed Secret Lair bundle, but the supplied article text cuts off before giving details about that delay.
