Wizards of the Coast Magic: The Gathering product updates
Overview
Wizards of the Coast has announced several updates and new product releases for Magic: The Gathering.
The company is overhauling its booster pack formula starting with the ‘Nauctis: The Sunken Realm’ set in 2027. This includes the introduction of ‘God Packs’—packs consisting exclusively of rare and mythic rare cards—available in both Play and Collector Boosters. To accommodate these changes, regular Play Boosters will no longer guarantee foils, while Collector Boosters will be reduced to 12 cards per pack.
Additionally, the ‘Mystery Booster: Commander Edition’ will receive a wider release via the ‘Festival in a Box: Atlanta’ preorder. This edition contains 24 boosters featuring reprints, playtest cards, and color-specific cards. The release also includes a ‘Secret Gallery: Atlanta Foil Edition’ and various full-art textless promotional cards. Preorders for this collection are scheduled to begin on October 19, 2026, at a retail price of $249.99.
