Friendly greetings and welcome! The Cardsphere team is pleased to announce Avatar: The Last Airbender is available to trade.
I'm John Sherwood, and I've been waiting for this set since Universes Beyond kicked off five years ago. On one hand, I'm surprised it took five years for Wizards of the Coast to release an Avatar product. One the other hand, I'm grateful they waited. It looks like a lot of lessons learned from past Universes Beyond releases were applied to this set.
In any case, I'm beyond excited for Magic cards featuring faces and places from a story I genuinely love.
You can find singles and sealed products from Avatar: The Last Air Bender (TLA) and Avatar: The Last Airbender Eternal (TLE) here on Cardsphere. TLA is a Standard-legal draft set, and TLE includes a bonus sheet, Jumpstart, and Commander products that are not Standard legal.
Master the Four Elements
Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Long ago, Katara narrated the introduction to an iconic animated series. Then everything changed when Wizards of the Coast started printing Universes Beyond products. Only Avatar Aang is available in raised foil, but he vanished into Collector Boosters.
Now there's a card trading site called Cardsphere, and I believe Cardsphere can save your wallet.
If you are trying to capture a raised foil Avatar Aang, it really is distributed in minute quantities, and only through Collector Boosters. However, it's available to trade on Cardsphere, so maybe someone else who got lucky will send you one.
Borderless Scenes
Scene cards combine edge to edge into a complete illustration. Avatar borderless scenes include Aang defeating the Fire Nation navy in Book 1: Water, the climactic battle beneath Ba Sing Se in Book 2: Earth, and the epic duels at the end of Book 3: Fire.
These three scenes can be found in non-foil or traditional foil, in both Play and Collector Booster products.
For those like me, with an aversion to cracking packs, there are two additional scenes in scene boxes. One displays the ill-fated invasion of the Fire Nation on The Day of Black Sun. The other assembles the happy ending in Iroh's tea shop. There is a chance for scene box cards to appear in Collector Boosters and the Commander's Bundle.
Field Notes
Like the works of Professor Zei, these borderless cards annotate animals, spirits, machines, structures, and curios from around the world of Avatar.
My favorite is White Lotus Tile, for the way it blends Magic's history of lotuses with Avatar lore.
Field Notes are available in non-foil and traditional foil, in both Play and Collector Booster products.
Elemental Frame
This showcase treatment stylistically emphasizes the iconography of the four nations. Every card chosen for this treatment is a hit. Each one features unique imagery that pays tribute to its origin with a fair dose of artistic license.
Take the showcase Redirect Lightning for example. The background looks like a Japanese ink landscape, deviating from the Avatar's animation style while paying respect to the cultural inspirations for the series. In the foreground, Zuko is sharper, more angular than normal, emphasizing the jagged nature of lightning.
Elemental Frames are available in non-foil and traditional foil, in both Play and Collector Booster products.
Neon Ink Battle Poses
For the textless fans in the Magic community, Avatar's Neon Ink treatments are full art versions of Aang, Swift Savior, Fire Lord Zuko, Katara, the Fearless, and Toph, the First Metalbender. The poses are silhouettes of the characters' bending forms, superimposed over their national symbols.
I don't understand the attraction to treatments like this, but that just means more for everyone else.
Avatar Neon Ink Battle Poses are non-foil and only appear in Collector Boosters.
Borderless Battle Poses
There are five different Battle Pose cards outlines scenes and characters in stark contrast to dark backgrounds. On one hand, it's a bold choice of art direction. On the other hand, some of these look like they had a run-in with Koh, the Face Stealer. Maybe that was intentional?
Borderless Battle Poses appear in non-foil and traditional foil, in both Play and Collector Booster products.
Borderless Double-Faced Sagas
I'm convinced double-faced cards are a design mistake, but I have to admit Avatar's horizontal cycle of double-faced Sagas is really cool. One Saga in each color tells a story from the lore of Avatar, then transforms into a legendary creature. The art on the borderless versions is fantastic.
Borderless Double-Faced Sagas appear in non-foil and traditional foil, in both Play and Collector Booster products.
Extended Art Cards
Extended art cards expand the image from the default frame. The frameless, zoomed-out view often reveals extra details around the perimeter of the illustration. Every set, I enjoy comparing the extended arts to their normal frame versions. Usually, there's at least one that reveals significant details. In this set, that card is Realm of Koh.
In the extended art version, Aang is standing on the rock near the right edge. On the normal printing, Aang is covered by the card frame.
TLA and TLE extended arts are available in non-foil or traditional foil, distributed via Collector Boosters.
Borderless Source Material
The bonus sheet for this set applies still images from the animated series to reprints of existing Magic cards. Yes, these reskins are screen shots, and I love it.
Some of these were obviously done for fan service, like Imprisoned in the Moon. Others perfectly match in ways I didn't expect, like Heroic Intervention.
For the uninitiated, Zuko is about to take a Lightning Bolt to save Katara from Azula. Price permitting, I'll be adding a playset of those bolts to my wants.
Non-foil source material cards appear in 1 in 26 Play Boosters, in both Play and Collector Booster products. Every Collector Booster contains a non-foil or traditional foil source material card.
Full-Art Lands
TLA delivers not one, but two cycles of full-art basic lands.
First, Appa lands show Aang's flying bison over iconic Avatar locations.
Appa lands appear in appear in non-foil and traditional foil, in all Booster products and the Commander's bundle.
Second, the Avatar's Journey basics visit more familiar places, with Momo somewhere in the scenery.
Avatar's Journey lands appear in non-foil and traditional foil, in either Play or Collector Booster products.

Sharing stories brings people together. Avatar: The Last Airbender connects me to many of my friends and family. In that regard, the stories on these cards live up to the ideal that it isn't Magic without The Gathering.
Tell us in the comments which Avatar cards you're excited for. Do you have a favorite moment from the show that didn't make it onto a cardboard rectangle? You can also join the conversation in the Cardsphere Discord.
Until next time: happy trading!
