Innistrad: Crimson Vow is the 90th Magic expansion. It is expected to be released on November 19, 2021, and is paired up with Innistrad: Midnight Hunt that released two months earlier.
Those that stalk from shadows aren't just the mindless zombies and frenetic werewolves, but also the eternally undead with calculating, grand designs of their own. Why would every vampire that one can imagine unite for an ultra-exclusive wedding and reception everyone is dying to attend? Innistrad: Crimson Vow will answer that—and more.
Both Innistrad sets are full size sets and they are both are Standard-legal. Although they come out only two months apart in the latter part of 2021, R&D is not changing how many sets are being added to Standard during the rotation window, but just shifted the timing around slightly.[7] The sets are designed to draft by themselves, but they also will draft well together. The two sets are synergistic and overlap in spots.[8][9] This will be further explored as parts of the sets are reprinted in the Innistrad Double Feature set that will be released in early 2022.
Crimson Vow Bundle (Gift Edition)
Storyline
Crimson Vow will continue the new Innistrad storyline begun in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt.[10] As humanity turned to the hope of rituals and a Harvesttide festival to save them from the Eternal Night in Midnight Hunt, those that stalk from shadows aren't just the mindless zombies and frenetic werewolves, but also the eternally undead with calculating, grand designs of their own. This set features the biggest vampire wedding in Innistrad history[2][4], a bonding between the Markov and Voldaren bloodlines.[10] Olivia Voldaren is the bride, and aims to form a pact with the Markovs to take control over Innistrad.[11]
Marketing
Crimson Vow is sold in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (one card being a marketing card), Theme Boosters, Collector Boosters, Set Boosters, the Crimson Vow Bundle (including a Gift Edition), and two Commander decks.[10] The Draft Boosters feature artwork depicting Sorin Markov.
