A new Magic: The Gathering set called Reality Fracture, releasing on 2 October, will reunite the "Lorwyn Five" Planeswalkers for the first time in nearly 20 years since they were introduced in the 2007 Lorwyn set. The reunion is driven by the set's story, in which Jace Beleren, now calling himself The Theorist, attempts to overwrite reality with his own vision of a multiverse free from conflict, making him the set's primary antagonist.

Jace's alternate reality, the Echoverse, has produced twisted versions of the original characters, such as a vengeful Ajani Unrelenting and a soul-devouring Garruk who dons the Chain Veil, while Liliana's counterpart never turned to necromancy after her brother survived. Where a legendary character has an Echoverse equivalent, both cards will appear together in the same pack. The Theorist operates from Hexhaven, a dark mirror of the Strixhaven setting, comprising five allied-colour schools including Fatehold, Theorex, Stingerquill, Constrari and Vigorbloom, blending familiar and new design elements according to head designer Mark Rosewater.
