Iconic Masters is a booster-based compilation set[3] that will be released on November 17, 2017. It is designed to be drafted.
Set details
The name of the set was inadvertently revealed in a WPN-mail send to retailers in April 2017.[4] Iconic Masters offers players a tour through some of the most powerful cards in over 23 years of Magic history.[5] Featuring new artwork on many cards, the set brings an array of massive Angels, Sphinxes, Demons, Dragons and Hydras alongside some favorite and most memorable spells. Every box of Iconic Masters contains 24 booster packs — each with fifteen randomly inserted game cards, including one premium card in every pack. The 16-card boosters (the sixteenth card is a marketing card) feature artwork from Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Heroes' Bane and ?.
Iconic Masters promised to deliver some of the most high-powered drafts ever to hit the play tables. Like for its predecessors, the MSRP of one booster is set to $9.99.[6]
Marketing
Remarkably, Iconic Masters is the second Masters series-set to be released in 2017. Its release is connected to the celebration of Magic's 25th Anniversary. The cards of the set were revealed at the HASCON prerelease on September 8–10, 2017. There were no previews.
Magic Online
