Wizards of the Coast has revealed the title and release details for Fate Reforged, the second of three sets in the Khans of Tarkir block. The 185-card Fate Reforged set will be released on January 23rd, 2015 with pre-release events held on the weekend of January 17-18. The official Fate Reforged Game Day is set for the weekend of February 14-15, and Magic Online release of Fate Reforged is slated for February 2nd, 2015. WotC also tweeted a photo of a very evocative piece of art from the new set.
Fate Reforged cards will be available in Booster Packs, Intro Packs, Fat Packs, and Clash Packs. Ken Nagle led a team including Jennifer Clarke Wilkes, Ethan Fleischer, David Humpherys, Mark Rosewater, and Gavin Verhey that was responsible for the initial concept and design of the set, while David Humpherys led the final game design and development team that also included Ian Duke, Mark L. Gottleib, Ben Hayes, Ryan Spain, and Matt Tabak.
The Khans of Tarkir will be last 3-set block that WotC has planned for Magic: The Gathering. In the fall of 2015 WotC is changing M:TG from a three-set block followed by a core release to a two-block, twice a year release (see "Major Changes to 'Magic: The Gathering'"), in part because of the difficulty in keeping interest up for the third set in a block.
