An apocalyptic threat stirs within Dominaria, and an ancient yet familiar enemy has at last revealed itself. Led by the Praetor Sheoldred, the Phyrexian army is hellbent on invasion after many years in the shadows. With the return of fan-favourite Planeswalkers Karn, Ajani Goldmane, Liliana Vess and Jaya Ballard, Dominaria United sees the beginning of an insidious invasion which threatens not just the destruction of Dominaria, but the entire Multiverse.
