Cabbage Merchant from “Avatar” Joins Magic: The Gathering

Sure thing, let’s dive into this quirky world!

Okay, so here’s the deal—Team Avatar’s crash-landing into the Magic: The Gathering universe. That’s right, the whole gang from Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming. And seriously, guess who’s tagging along on this wild ride? Yep, the Cabbage Merchant. I mean, did anyone expect him to get his own card? This dude’s legendary for his epic misfortunes—mainly his cabbages getting obliterated by Aang and Appa. Picture it, the anguish in his yell: “My cabbages!!!” It’s iconic.

So, anyway, Tuesday’s Magic livestream dropped this bombshell. The Cabbage Merchant’s card pops up in the Jumpstart set—perfect for rookies learning the ropes. Oddly enough, it packs some punch for seasoned gamers too. Bit weird, right? Like, these Jumpstart cards aren’t standard-legal but rock on in Commander format. Go figure.

Oh! Speaking of—check out this pic they shared. It’s like Wizards of the Coast was dying to tease us with. Aang, Katara, and yes, our beloved Cabbage Merchant, all on shiny card art. Who wouldn’t smile at that?

But hold your cabbages, folks. Turns out, we might see various twists on the Cabbage Merchant card. During the livestream, the peeps at Wizards acted all mysterious, hinting at other versions—maybe with fresher art. One host even blurted, “He isn’t always this happy.” I mean, imagine a more devastated Cabbage Merchant. Wait—is that even possible?

Yeah, that sums up the madness! 🥗
