Double Masters is a booster-based compilation set that wil be released on August 7, 2020 in paper, and released on August 6 for Magic Online. It is designed to be drafted.[3][4]
Set details
| “ | Two Rares. Two Foils. Too Powerful | ” |
Double Masters contains 332 cards (TBA common, TBA uncommon, 121 rare, and 40 mythic rare) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. Every booster box of Double Masters contains 24 booster packs—each with fifteen randomly inserted game cards. The set is unusual in the fact that it will have two Rare or Mythic cards in each pack. It will also have two premium foil cards in place of one.[3][4]
Double Masters will be available in English, French, German, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. The set has no MSRP, but the Magic store of Amazon.com set the price at $16.30 per booster pack.
Box Toppers
Each booster box bought at local games stores comes with two random Showcase non-foil box toppers, each being available as regular card in the set, too. There is a total of 40 box toppers. The Box toppers are numbered #333 to #372.
VIP Edition
For this set, a so-called VIP Edition replaces the Collector Boosters. Each package of 35 cards contains:[5]
- 2 foil showcase rares or mythics
- 2 foil rares or mythics
- 8 foil uncommons
- 9 foil commons
- 12 full-art basic lands (2 are foil)
- 2 foil double-sided tokens
These packages are sold for $102.60.[6]
Themes and mechanics
R&D has doubled everything about Double Masters. Double the rare slots, double the box toppers, double the first-picks in Draft.
