[MTG Century] - [Magic the Gathering] - [Play Booster Pack]

Magic  Play Boosters are a type of booster product introduced for  Murders at Karlov Manor  in 2024 to replace both Draft boosters and Set boosters.[1][2] Going forward, they are the "foundation product" of every premier and tentpole set.[3] Play Boosters are 14-card Booster packs that contain eight "slots" (or card options) — six cards are common cards, one is a common that has a 12.5% chance to be replaced with a card from The List, three cards are uncommons, one is a rare or mythic rare, two cards are "wildcards" that can be of any rarity, and one card is a basic land. In addition, Play Boosters also include one non-playable card, with a chance for that to be an art card. Each of the 14 playable cards can be drafted, meaning The List and Special Guests form part of the Limited environment.[4] Play Boosters are designed to combine the characteristics of their predecessors; they are draftable per Draft Boosters while retaining the fun opening experience of finding surprise cards or card treatments per Set Boosters.[5] The original structure of the Play Booster's slots result in each pack having one rare or mythic rare 58% of the time, two 37% of the time, three 4% of the time, and the chance four rares or mythic rares (1 regular rare/mythic, 2 wildcards and a card from The List/Special Guest) less than 1% of the time.[6] However, these chance were reduced to sets down the line. Play Boosters do not prevent future sets from having a Bonus sheet but how they are integrated into the pack has not been outlined.[7][8] A booster box of Play Boosters origninally contained 36 packs. Starting with Aetherdrift it was reduced to 30 packs. At their introduction, Play Boosters were priced approximately the same as Set Boosters were prior to their discontinuation.[3] As of Aetherdrift, Play Boosters no longer contain ad cards.[9] CR:mtg.fandom.com
