The XLN Standard Showdown set for Magic: The Gathering immerses players in the vibrant world of Ixalan, a land steeped in adventure and exploration, where four factions vie for dominance over ancient treasures and powerful artifacts. The lore centers around the quest for the lost city of Orazca, believed to hold immense power and riches, drawing pirates, dinosaurs, and merfolk into a fierce struggle. Mechanically, the set introduces exciting features such as the Explore mechanic, which allows players to venture deeper into their decks while gaining valuable card advantage, and Raid, which rewards aggressive play by triggering powerful effects when attacking with creatures after having attacked earlier in the turn. This combination of rich storytelling and innovative mechanics creates a dynamic gameplay experience that captures the essence of exploration and conflict in Ixalan.
