30th Anniversary Edition is a commemorative, collectible, non-tournament-legal card set celebrating 30 years of Magic. It s described as "pure nostalgia reimagined in a modern context".[2][3] The set will be released on November 28, 2033 and will be sold through 30thEdition.wizards.com.
Description
Inspired by Limited Edition Beta, 30th Anniversary Edition lets fans and collectors experience some of the most iconic elements of Magic's early years. Each display of 30th Anniversary Edition will contain four booster packs with random content for $ 999.-. This makes it the priciest official Magic product ever. These collectible cards have a different card back and are therefore not legal in any sanctioned Magic event.
Each booster pack contains 15 cards, 13 cards in the modern frame — 1 rare, 3 uncommons, 7 commons, and 2 basic lands — plus one basic land in the retro frame, one additional retro frame card, and a token. Approximately three out of every ten packs will contain a rare retro frame card. Each card uses a special Black Lotus inspired card back rather than the standard Deckmaster back. The set contains 594 cards (297 modern frame, 297 retro frame).
Nearly every card included matches the rarity of its counterpart in Beta. There are no mythic rares, and almost all rarities have stayed the same. These cards do, however, have modern wording and modern corners, and some of the art is touched up for a clearer, modern look. The retro frame is the same frame used in Time Spiral Remastered. Returning features are the original white mana symbol, the original basic land template, and the classic art.
Cards
Excluded
Six cards from Beta are excluded:[3]
- Contract from Below, Darkpact, and Demonic Attorney (use of ante)
- Crusade (culturally offensive)
- Earthbind (sexual imagery)
- Weakness (ableist imagery) This must have been a late decision, because there are nos card numbered #131 and #428 in the released list.
Notable differences with Beta
- Sol Ring is the only card with a shifted rarity (uncommon to common) and has cropped art.[3]
- Each dual land appears twice as frequently as any other non-dual land rare.
