Magic: The Gathering is returning to where it all began for its 25th anniversary. MTG’s next expansion is called Dominaria, named after the location of the game's very first set. This new set heads back to Dominaria and brings familiar faces with it in the form of returning cards and homages to some other classics.

We’ve got a look at six cards coming in Dominaria, two that are homages to classic cards from the beginning of MTG, and four of which are reprints from previous expansions with a new coat of paint. Check them out in the gallery below:

MTG Head Designer Mark Rosewater told us that Dominaria “was a set that was craving for nostalgia.” Rosewater explained that “part of making a set with a nostalgia factor is figuring out what cards from the past were the most memorable and then either bringing them back outright or finding a new design that captures the essence of what made the original card cool in the first place.”

Looking back on those storied cards, Wizards of the Coast sent us the art for each iteration of the cards we revealed today. Flip through the gallery below to see the many ways that frequently reprinted cards like Drudge Skeletons and Fire Elemental have changed form in the last 25 years.

On Fire Elemental specifically, Rosewater said “homages are fun, but sometimes you just want to bring back a beloved thing in its entirety. The trick is finding cards designed for a different era that still make sense in the modern era.”
