Revision as of 18:42, 15 October 2023

Universes Within is the collective name for rebranded Magic multiverse versions of Universes Beyond cards. The term was first coined by Scryfall, and then adopted by Wizards of the Coast.[1]

Description

Wizards of the Coast creates and prints in-multiverse versions of mechanically unique non-canon Secret Lair cards, approximately six months after their original release of the Secret Lair.[2] These become available as part of The List, and are findable in Set Boosters for as long as players are still interested in opening them.

The non-canon cards and the canon cards will be considered as equivalent game pieces, meaning you can only play up to four copies total of the Magic version and Universes Beyond version combined in your deck. The Information below the text box has the special SLX set code and the SLD card number that it equals to.[3][4] All rebranded cards have the same rarity as the original. If a Universes Beyond card with a IP-specific creature type (e.g. astartes) would be rebranded, it would receive a brand new creature type in the Magic version. The <IP name> and <unique new creature type> would be one for one in the rules much like the names of the Godzilla skinned cards.[5]

At their introduction, one in eight Set Boosters contained one of these cards, while another one in eight set boosters will contain a different card from the List.[6] According to Mark Heggen, R&D wants the in-world equivalents those to be around and people able to get their hands on them.[7] They are not meant to be the ‘chase objects’, 10 years from now, they want the "other-IP" ones "to be the cool ones that have a little bit more cachet and are a bit more interesting to see" The in-world equivalents are the ones that are there for people who are just looking for the gameplay."[7]

Wizards of the Coast has only committed to do Universes Within versions of Secret Lairs. Larger UB sets like Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who won't receive 1:1 Universe Within versions, but R&D reserves the right to make them for individual cards if the need arises.[8][9] According to Mark Rosewater, the biggest problem, from a business standpoint, with making a Universes Within card for every Universes Beyond card is there isn’t a large enough audience to offset the huge cost of such an undertaking.[10]
