Wrapping up the Phyrexian Multiverse war is the Standard-legal MTG set, March of the Machine (MOM). The story arc began with Dominaria United and will end with a major change to the Magic Multiverse that will affect future gameplay and sets. An epilogue micro set called March of the Machine: The Aftermath (MAT) will follow up the MOM set, wrapping up loose ends in the story while setting the stage for future sets.

The MOM set will showcase an epic battle across the Magic Multiverse as Elesh Norn attempts to take over by Compleating everything and everyone. Similar to the three previous MTG sets in the Phyrexian block, prerelease events will take place prior to both the digital and global launches. Players can preorder and pick up MOM products through their local game store at prerelease events. These will also include MOM Jumpstart Sealed events
