It doesn’t get better than that. I was a bit nervous about starting, as I don’t like being bad at things. Not only does he share his planeswalker spark with his twin sister Rowan, but also, during his time at Strixhaven, was forced to replace his severed leg with one made of ice that constantly requires his focus to maintain.
Will is also heavily implied to be gay or bisexual in the novel Throne of Eldraine novel, The Wildered Quest.
That was fun.
Going a little bit more left field, I grew up with things like Dungeons & Dragons and fantasy novels, so I’ve always been drawn to that side of things for inspiration. After the archon’s fall, Meletis became a beacon of freedom for all of Theros. Multiple characters at this point have been confirmed LGBTQIA+ within the in-game lore, including ones who are canonically lesbian, gay, trans, agender, and more (see our article on The wonderful LGBTQ+ history of Magic The Gathering).
The Magic: The Gay-thering event itself was an intimate one, with around 20-30 LGBTQIA+ people coming together to learn and teach Magic: The Gathering using specialized mix and match Jump Start boosters, containing beginner friendly cards, for players to make their very own 40 card deck.
And I’ve just always loved drawing kick ass women in full armor with a sword. I think that’s also why we ALL love drag queens!

Unfortunately, history would forget the love between Kynaios and Tiro, and eventually they would be described as fueding generals of enemy armies rather than the lovers they truly were.
Niko Arist first appeared in the Norse-inspired set Kaldheim, however they are from the city Kynaois and Tiro founded;.
James Wyatt’s short story that accompanied the set Fate Reforged explained Alesha’s character a little better than her card: “She had been so different – only sixteen, a boy in everyone’s eyes but her own, about to choose and declare her name before the khan and all the Mardu.”
Chandra has a bit of a messy publication history when it comes to her sexuality.
Turns out a lot of people love that collection.
Jack: It’s absolutely important.
Think The Secret of NIMH with an art style more reminiscent of Peter Rabbit.
This multiverse traversal also means that Magic can crossover with other major IP’s, such as existing collabs based around Warhammer, Fallout, Doctor Who, Assassin’s Creed, and of course, Dungeons & Dragons, as well as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy crossover coming in 2025.
It makes perfect sense then that Magic: The Gathering happens to be very, very queer.
I hope that, in the future, I can write more articles about new characters under this umbrella, as MTG is something all people have a right to enjoy. One of which I love, and I can’t wait for it to be released, but I say that about all of them to be honest. This is aligned with the search for emancipationLGBTQIA+ people have long fought for.
When Forsaken, the novel covering the events of the War of the Spark, was released, writer Greg Weissman rewrote Chandra's story and declared she was never interested in women, just mainly men.
