Updating Our Boosters in 2027

9 days ago by MysticKetchup to c/mtg

We're making the booster-opening experience even more exciting in 2027. Here are the changes you can expect starting with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm.

Starting with Nauctis next year:

1/1000 regular boosters will be a "God Pack" (all rares/mythics)
1/300 Collector boosters will be a God Pack
Japan Showcase cards can now be found in regular packs
Increased odds for foil Rares/Mythics
Play booster packs are renamed to just booster packs
No more foil commons or uncommons in regular boosters
No longer a guaranteed foil in every pack
Collector boosters removing 2 commons and 1 uncommon from the foil slots

Seeing an announcement about boosters gives me a knee jerk reaction of "what now?" but overall I think these changes are pretty minor and slightly positive. But also I really don't care for foil commons/uncommons so losing them for Japan Showcase arts and increased chances of a rare/mythic sounds good to me. Don't care about collector boosters either so them losing 3 cards doesn't really matter to me

@MysticKetchup I think the god packs are fine. I'm not a fan of Japan showcase art, and I'll miss having foil commons and uncommons. I also don't open collector boosters. For me, overall meh slightly negative. And I don't trust them not to raise the price because of it
