Avatar’s Cabbage Merchant Joins the Magic: The Gathering Universe

Sure, let me dive right into this.

So, yeah, get this—Magic: The Gathering is going full-on Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know, right? And, of course, we gotta talk about the one and only Cabbage Merchant. This guy’s basically a legend in his own way. You know the dude, always getting his poor cabbages clobbered by Aang and his sky bison, Appa. And then he’s like, “My cabbages!!!” every single time. Classic.

Anyway, during this Magic livestream (I think it was Tuesday?), they dropped the big news about his card. It’s part of this Jumpstart thing—they say it’s for newbies—but I reckon even the hardcore players might wanna check it out. Might surprise you! Though, it’s Commander-friendly and not made for Standard, for those keeping score.

And, oh, side note—there’s this card image. It was like, bam, right there. Couldn’t take my eyes off it. Something about the way they captured the Cabbage Merchant… I swear I could hear him yelling in my head. You ever get that with a picture? Weird.

What else? Oh, right—they teased us with more Cabbage Merchant action. Apparently, there might be different art versions or something. One of the hosts hinted we’d see other sides of him—maybe not all smiles this time. Definitely piqued my curiosity.

So yeah, guess that’s it. Who knew the cabbage guy would get his own moment in the MTG sun? And I kinda love it.
