Reception

Innistrad: Double Feature was considered a big miss.[17] Players believed Double Feature was unnecessary; they didn't like the black-and-white aesthetic, felt WotC misled them on what the contents were going to be, and were upset that it wasn't a crafted draft experience rather than just the two sets thrown together.
