Exclusive First Look: Card Reveals for Magic: The Gathering’s “DUSKMOURN: HOUSE OF HORROR”

For over thirty years, millions of card gamers around the world have battled one another across the mythical planes within Magic: The Gathering. But on September 27th, the vast expanse of the multiverse finds itself corralled into the darkness of DUSKMOURN: HOUSE OF HORROR, a haunted house-stylized expansion gorged with macabre interpretations of the beasts, heroes, lands and spells that formulate the game’s turn-based duels to the death.

Recently, Wizards of the Coast – the studio behind MTG – held a rare press event at their headquarters in Renton, WA, in advance of their appearance at PAX West ‘24. RUE MORGUE was in attendance, during which members of DUSKMOURN’s team spilled their guts about everything the upcoming expansion has to offer.

In the lead-up to the game’s release, RUE MORGUE will feature exclusive content, including interviews, gameplay details and artwork, starting with this first look at cards included in the all-new horror set.

Stay tuned to RUE MORGUE for ongoing coverage of DUSKMOURN: HOUSE OF HORROR, and visit Magic: The Gathering for more information and pre-order details.
