Beyond Boosters are booster packs specific to Universes Beyond releases.
Description
Beyond Boosters are introduced for Assassin's Creed in 2024. They are not draftable, but each booster is said to take you on a journey / tell a story unique to the specific Universe. They contain both new cards and reprints.[1]
According to Mark Rosewater, we should think of sets with Beyond Boosters as small sets that are not draftable[2] The concept is similar to that of the failed micro sets with Epilogue Boosters (i.e. March of the Machine: The Aftermath), but with a larger card pool.
Composition
The booster will comprise eight cards, one of which is nonplayable: three nonfoil uncommons, a nonfoil land or scene card, a nonfoil rare or mythic, a traditional foil of any rarity, and a card that is a Booster Fun variant.[3]
