What are Play Boosters?
Play Boosters are suitable for both the player of limited Magic such as booster draft and sealed deck, as well as the avid collector who likes to open booster packs.

Previously, you could choose between draft, set, or collector boosters to collect your new cards. Collector boosters remain unchanged and are still the go-to booster for special foils, unique borders, and exclusives. Draft and set boosters have been replaced by play boosters. Play boosters were specifically designed with booster draft and sealed decks in mind, but ripping boosters also remains exciting down to the last card thanks to the increased chance of showcase cards and rares or mythic rares!

Play with the best of both worlds with Play Boosters!

Composition Play Boosterbox
A Booster Box contains 36 play boosters. Each play booster contains 14 Magic: The Gathering cards from Foundations. The composition of a play booster is as follows:

- 1 to 4 rares or mythic rares.
- 3 to 5 commons.
- 6 to 9 uncommons.
- 1 land card.
- Always one foil card.
- 1 art card, token or advertising card.

In a play booster, you always get at least one rare and one foil card. Furthermore, in one in seven boosters, you'll find a mythic rare instead of a rare! In some boosters, the common is replaced by a rare Special Guest card. Play boosters also contain two wildcard slots, one foil and one non-foil. Cards in the wildcard slot can be of any rarity, from common to mythic rare.

Foundations Special Guests
Special guests are unique reprints of powerful cards with brand-new borderless art. Every booster offers a chance to find a special guest card. These reprints are powerful, sought-after cards, or the cards perfectly match the theme of the set they're in.
