Prepare to Face Your Fears
Magic: The Gathering invites you to explore its newest and most terrifying plane – Duskmourn, a realm steeped in horror and dark fantasy. Within the haunted walls of Duskmourn: House of Horror, your deepest fears manifest, as nightmarish creature like Valgavoth looms, its wings sealing the house in eternal torment. Will you rally your fellow survivors and find a way out, or will you succumb to the horrors within?
Yet, amid the terror, Duskmourn offers a wealth of exciting cards to collect for Magic players. From unique card treatments to hauntingly beautiful artwork, here are the four most important things you need to know about collecting Duskmourn: House of Horror.
Glimpse the Horror with Double Exposure Cards
Experience Duskmourn’s terror through a new lens—literally. The double exposure treatment is featured on select legendary cards, paying homage to the eerie style of horror photography. These cards depict subjects overlayed in a ghostly manner, perfectly capturing the unsettling atmosphere of Duskmourn. You can find double exposure cards in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.
But some of these cards hold a special surprise: a shimmering, textured foil version! Exclusive to Collector Boosters, these textured foil double exposure cards enhance the chilling artwork, adding an extra layer of collectability to these haunting masterpieces.
Celebrate Art with Japan Showcase Cards
Duskmourn: House of Horror marks the debut of Wizards of the Coast’s Japan Showcase, which pays tribute to the stunning artistic styles found in Japanese pop culture and hobby shops. These cards feature artwork from renowned Japanese artists, making them a must-have for collectors who appreciate Magic’s global reach and artistic diversity.
Japan Showcase cards are exclusive to Collector Boosters. In Japanese Collector Boosters, these cards will always be in Japanese, while non-Japanese Collector Boosters will feature them in English two-thirds of the time and in Japanese one-third of the time.
Nightmares Take Shape with Mirror Monster Cards
Some of Duskmourn’s most fearsome creatures refuse to be contained by standard card borders. Enter Mirror Monster cards—borderless, hyper-stylized depictions of the plane’s most terrifying faces. These cards offer a unique and chilling twist on creature designs, giving players a terrifying glimpse of what lurks in the shadows of Duskmourn.
Experience the Paranormal with Frame Cards
Objects within the House of Horror possess an eerie, otherworldly quality, captured in the set’s Paranormal Frame cards. These cards sport a retro-tech aesthetic, with artwork that exudes an unsettling, supernatural vibe. Perfect for players who want to immerse themselves in the haunted realm of Duskmourn, Paranormal Frame cards can be found in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.
