The Jurassic World Collection is an upcoming booster insert set in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond series that will be released in connection to the Lost Caverns of Ixalan on November 17, 2023.[2][3] Both sets feature dinosaurs.

Set details

This is a cross-over product based on the American science fiction media franchise Jurassic World, first featured in the 1990 novel Jurassic Park and the 1993 film of the same name. The franchise was created by Michael Crichton and centers on a disastrous attempt to create a theme park of cloned dinosaurs. The franchise consists of six films, and numerous video games and comic books. Several water rides have been opened at various Universal Studios theme parks. Lego has produced several animated projects based on the Jurassic World films, including Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, a miniseries released in 2019. DreamWorks Animation also produced an animated series, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, which ran on Netflix from September 2020 to July 2022.

The cards feature brand-new artwork that showcases scenes and characters from thirty years of Jurassic World storytelling across the many feature-length films.

Like all Universes Beyond products, the cards of this set are only playable in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. This is the second time (after Transformers) that UB cards are distributed through the release of a premier (Standard) Magic: The Gathering set. The cards can be found in Set Boosters, Collector Booster, and Bundles of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. Approximately 10% of Set Boosters will contain a Jurassic Worlds card.

The set consists of 26 cards ().[4] Note that these are 20 original designs, not skinned cards, and six lands. Each of the lands are reversible with each art depicting the land before and after the dinosaurs escape.[5] There are currently no plans to create Universes Within versions of the cards.

In addition, there were two Secret Lair drops released with Jurassic World themes.

MTG Arena

There are no plans for the Jurassic World cards to be made available on Magic: The Gathering Arena.[6]

Storyline

Jurassic World key art

The dinosaurs are created through genetic engineering. The process is accomplished by extracting ancient DNA from mosquitoes, which sucked the blood of dinosaurs and then became fossilized in amber, preserving the DNA. Scientists then fill gaps in the genome using frog DNA.

Mechanics

Reused mechanics are Bloodthirst, Devour, Discover, Enrage, Escape, Imprint and Populate
