Wizards of the Coast is shaking up Magic: The Gathering <\/em>booster packs for the launch of Murders at Karlov Manor<\/em>, combining Draft and Set boosters into one product that’s called the Play booster. <\/p>
Set booster packs were first introduced into Magic<\/em> through Zendikar Rising<\/em> as a way to provide booster fun treatments in conjunction with singles that players wanted and needed to build decks across a wide variety of MTG<\/em> formats. <\/p>
Prior to Set boosters, there was only one booster pack, used for cracking packs and for the Limited format (Draft and Sealed). Starting with the launch of Murders at Karlov Manor<\/em>, after the first of the year<\/a>, WotC will mash together Draft and Set boosters into one\u2014 through Play boosters.<\/p>
Play boosters in MTG <\/em>are designed for the Limited format <\/a><\/strong>while containing booster fun treatments, along with the potential to pull up to four Rare and\/or Mythic Rare cards in each pack.\u00a0<\/p>
One of the big changes applied to MTG<\/em> Play booster packs was a rework of The List<\/a><\/strong>. All The List cards will be legal to draft in Limited and play in Sealed. Players will also get the chance to acquire more Rare and\/or Mythic Rare cards through The List, and the two Wildcard slots in a Play booster. And Commander-legal cards will no longer have a dedicated slot through Play booster packs.\u00a0<\/p>
