The List

For New Capenna TBA cards are rotated into The List, many of which were thematically or mechanically linked to the set. These can be found in the Set Boosters. This set introduces the Magic IP versions of the cards from the Secret Lair Drop Series: Stranger Things. One in eight Set Boosters will contain one of these cards, while another one in eight set boosters will contain a different card from the List. The List is slightly smaller to accommodate this distribution. The Information below the text box of the rebranded cards has the special SLX set code and the SLD collector number that it equals to. All rebranded cards have the same rarity as the original.
