Magic Profit Soars: Is Universes Beyond the Key?

Magic: The Gathering achieved a remarkable $1.7 billion in profit over the past year, marking a significant 60% growth. This financial success was largely bolstered by two of the best-selling sets ever: "Final Fantasy" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender," both part of the lucrative "Universes Beyond" crossover line. These licensed sets have significantly contributed to the game's profitability for Hasbro.

Despite the strong performance of crossover sets, an "in-universe" Magic set, "Lorwyn Eclipsed," has achieved the title of fastest-selling set of all time. This recent release, which returned to beloved settings from 2008, demonstrates continued enthusiasm for Magic's original storytelling. Its success suggests that while crossovers attract new players, the game's core lore remains a powerful draw for its community.
