Play boosters are a new type of booster pack for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. They are designed to be used in limited gameplay and contain a higher number of "booster fun" cards like alternate art treatments and reprints from the rotating pool of cards. Here are some key features of play boosters:
-
Number of cards: A Set Booster has 12 playable cards (plus an art card and a token card), while a Draft Booster has 15 playable cards. A Play Booster contains 14 cards, making it an essential for limited gameplay.
-
Cost: Play Boosters match the cost of a Set Booster, not a Draft Booster, which will result in a higher cost for playing in limited events.
-
Contents: In addition to playable cards, Play Boosters contain a guaranteed traditional foil card and an art card.
Play boosters are a new addition to the Magic: The Gathering game and will debut in early 2024.
