Set details
Ultimate Masters contains 254 cards (101 common, 80 uncommon, 53 rare, and 20 mythic rare) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The product contains cards from across Magic's entire history with some of Magic's most popular cards. Every booster box of Ultimate Masters contains 24 booster packs—each with fifteen randomly inserted game cards, including one premium foil card in every pack. The sixteen-card boosters (the sixteenth card is a marketing card) feature artwork from Liliana of the Veil, Karn Liberated, and Vengevine. The set will be released in English and Japanese.
Boxes of Ultimate Masters are only available through local games stores, while big-box stores like Walmart and Target have three-pack blister packs (Draft Packs). Ultimate Masters has an MSRP higher than previous Masters products. The MSRP is $13.99 per booster pack, $335.76 per booster box, and $34.99 per blister pack. WotC said that "supplies will be limited", implying that the print run for Ultimate Masters likely was small.
Ultimate Box Topper
Each booster box comes with a random semi-borderless foil box topper, each being available as regular card in the set, too.[5] There is a total of 40 box toppers.
Magic Online
Ultimate Masters releases on Magic Online on December 7, 2018, the same day as the paper set. Box toppers are distributed by Treasure Chests.
Themes and mechanics
Every color in this set has multiple cards that care about the graveyard in some way, providing resources for delve, flashback, and dredge in blue, black, and green.[6] White and red see the return of the heroic mechanic from Theros. In addition, white has a heavy Aura subtheme, and madness is prevalent in red.
