Pre-Orders & Sets Overview

Your Buying Options: Play Boosters and Collector Boosters

As a smaller-scale release, Innistrad Remastered will not include Bundles, Gift Bundles, Commander Precons, or Pre-Release Kits. Instead, all available cards will be obtainable solely through booster packs in two specific formats: Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Premium Preview Events will be available at selected locations, allowing participants to earn a special participation promo card, Deadeye Navigator. Check with local retailers for event availability.

The price points are set at $6.99 for Play Boosters and $29.99 for Collector Boosters. Each type offers a distinct experience:

Play Booster: 14 cards, featuring various common, uncommon, and rare cards, with potential for unique treatments.
Collector Booster: 15 cards, with higher chances to collect rare cards and unique treatments across the board.

For players aiming to acquire rare cards, purchasing them outright might be the most practical approach, while those on a tighter budget may find it requires some patience and luck to land the premium items.

As with past releases, some of the most coveted cards from the Innistrad set may appreciate significantly in value, particularly limited editions. Whether you are looking to build your deck or amass a collection, Innistrad Remastered offers something for every fan, presenting a fantastic array of creatures, spells, and lore from the dark and fantastical world of Magic: The Gathering.
