Avatar’s Cabbage Merchant Officially Joins Magic: The Gathering

Sure, let’s dive into this! Imagine this:

So, guess what? Team Avatar is crashing into Magic: The Gathering. Mind blown, right? And, no surprise, but everyone’s favorite underdog, the Cabbage Merchant — yeah, the guy who always loses his veggies — is getting his own card. Seriously, the dude spends half his life yelling “My cabbages!!!” ’cause Aang and Appa keep wrecking ’em.

Caught a Magic livestream the other day where they dropped this bombshell. The Cabbage Merchant will be part of the Jumpstart set. If you’re clueless about Jumpstart, it’s like Magic: The Gathering 101, a quick start for the newbs. But hold on, he’s packing some skills that might just tempt the hardcore players too. And here’s the catch: while Jumpstart cards are good to go in Commander format, they’re off-limits in Standard. Go figure.

Oh, and there was this pic — lemme set the scene. The artwork popped up, and I swear, it was like you could hear his cabbages being crunched. It’s like a freeze-frame of misery. Anyway, Wizards of the Coast threw us a hint: We might see the Cabbage Merchant in more than one flavor. Maybe a few different art styles? One livestream peep mused, “Expect him in various poses. And trust me, he’s not always all smiles.” Ha! A moody cabbage dude? Who would’ve thought.
