For Tempest Remastered R&D has revisited the Tempest block. The 621 cards from Tempest, Stronghold and Exodus were reduced to the best 269 and the best playing archetypes. The set contains 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares, and 20 basic lands. [2] There's no new art, but the cards have received new card frames. Several rarity shifts allowed for a better draft environment. Green received lots of rarity downshifts because it was easily the worst color in the original set. On the other hand,a couple of strong red and black creature-removal spells were removed. The Licids weer consoidered a failure, and didn't make it either. [3]
Tempest Remastered is available in booster pack form, with each booster retailing for $3.99. Each pack will contain the following:
- 10 commons
- 3 uncommons
- 1 rare or mythic rare
- 1 basic land
Each pack has a chance at a premium card replacing one of the common slots, with the same odds as other Magic booster packs.
