Marketing

This set was released on December 1, 1993, after Beta had sold out as quickly as Alpha had. The print run was announced by Wizards to be 35 million cards, the largest yet. It sold out by late March 1994. The cards were sold in 60-card starter decks and 15-card boosters. Wizards of the Coast instructed Carta Mundi to change the black border on the card frame to white, in order to maintain the collecting value of the initial Limited print run.

Unlimited was the first set to be officially titled as something other than just Magic: The Gathering. The "Unlimited Edition" label appears on the booster boxes, decks, and booster packs. The rulebook was the same as for Beta. [1]
