Wizards of the Coast has announced that the Magic: The Gathering Challenger Decks 2021 release date has been delayed to April 2, 2021 due to production issues. This new release date is just a week after the products’ original release (March 26).
MTG has faced shipping delays and complications in the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so this news isn’t surprising. Wizards of the Coast previously noted that the Challenger Decks will be delayed in certain APAC regions due to shipping issues.
