Secrets of Strixhaven's preview season is well underway, and Wizards of the Coast is doing something interesting this time around. Because Strixhaven University contains five different academic houses, Wizards has split each house's previews up to reveal them one house per day. Yesterday, Wizards' content creators and Ambassadors revealed Prismari's artists and performers. Today, the same was done for Lorehold. In this recap, we'll look at all of them! Read on for more!
April 2nd: Prismari (Outlets and Content Creators)

Prismari Reveals for Secrets of Strixhaven
The Prismari cards in Secrets of Strixhaven seem pretty great. These artisans and performers, all encapsulated within (and simultaneously encapsulating) the blue-red color identity, are going to be explosive in Limited formats, including Prerelease. (That starts on April 17th, for those not yet in the know!)
But let's look at those cards now, and be enraptured by the swirling colors and stunning attention to detail!
April 3rd: Lorehold (Outlets and Content Creators)
The content creators and media outlets credited with bringing the Lorehold previews to the public are the following:
- @mtgjp
- @TokyoMTG
- Magic Story
- Magic: The Gathering Social Media
- MTGGoldfish
- TopDeck
- Tori of the Vast

Lorehold Reveals for MTGSOS
Lorehold House's white-red color identity lends itself remarkably well to history and preservation. These cards, not unlike Prismari's show-stopping cards, will be fantastic in Limited, but I surmise they'll also find several homes in Constructed.
Before we go on with these previews, I must reiterate from preview seasons past that I will not be sharing cards that don't have a confirmed English name yet. As such, the "Capstone" card from the Lorehold previews will not be in this article. However, having said that, let's look at all the rest of the cards!
Conclusion
And now, let's open the floor to you, dear readers! Are you excited about Secrets of Strixhaven? Are these academic houses' new cards ones that you'd want to use in any decks you own or plan to make? What's your favorite Strixhaven University house? Sound off in the comments below!
