Magic: The Gathering Foundations, or Foundations, is an entry-level Magic set released on November 15, 2024.[2][3] An "evergreen core set", it will remain legal in Standard through at least 2029 and possibly longer.[4]
Set codes and numbering

Magic: The Gathering Foundations, the Standard-legal set, uses the set code FDN ().[5][6] It is numbered as follows:[7]
- The base set is #1–271. New cards are #1–133, and reprints are #134–271.
- Basic lands are #272–291. Full-art "face character" basic lands are #272–291.
- Booster Fun cards are #292–487. Borderless cards are #292–361, and #362–421 in mana foil; Japan Showcase cards are #422–431, and #432–441 in fracture foil; and extended art cards are #442–487.
- Beginner Box reprints are #488–564.
- Starter Collection reprints are #565–727.
- Promotional cards are #728–729.
- Some new cards are numbered out of order: Firespitter Whelp (#197), Goblin Surprise (#200), Starlight Snare (#514), Dropkick Bomber (#537), Dawnwing Marshal (#570), and Hinterland Sanctifier (#730).[citation needed]
Related non-Standard set codes are J25 (Foundations Jumpstart ), SPG (Special Guests ), and FDC (Foundations Commander cards from the Starter Collection). J25 and SPG cards are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage, and reprints already legal in other formats remain legal in those formats. FDC cards remain legal in formats where they are already legal. All cards opened in Play Boosters, including SPG cards, are legal in Draft and Sealed.[5]
Product suite
Foundations is sold in Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, a Beginner Box, a Starter Collection, Foundations Jumpstart packs, and the Foundations Bundle.[5] The main set contains 292 regular cards (91 commons, 101 uncommons, 60 rares, 20 mythic rares, 20 basic lands), about half of which are reprints.[a][7] The set doesn't feature Commander decks.[8]
Each product aims to help new players learn Magic and begin to build decks or their collection. The Beginner Box is a teaching product which includes a tutorial game. From there, new players can move to Foundations Jumpstart, the Starter Collection, or the main set's randomized boosters, depending on their desired level of depth and complexity.[9] Reminder text appears at higher-than-normal rates, even for commonly used mechanics.[6]
Unlike other premier sets, Foundations will remain legal in Standard "semi-indefinitely". It will leave the format only in response to the evolving needs of the audience, particularly new players—2029 at the earliest, but possibly much later.[4]
Foundations will stay in print for as long as it is legal. If a new version would be made in 2029, there would be space between the two where Wizards of the Coast would stop selling the old set to have it roughly sell out before the new set goes on sale.[10] In March 2025, it was revealed that Play Boosters, the Beginner Box and the Starter Collection were being reprinted, but that Collector Boosters and Bundles were not.[11]
Beginner Box
The Beginner Box includes ten themed Jumpstart decks (not to be confused with Foundations Jumpstart), two per color. The themes are Cats (), Healing (life gain,
), Pirates (
), Wizards (
), Undead (Skeletons and Zombies,
), Vampires (
), Inferno (Dragons,
), Goblins (
), Elves (
), and Primal (large creatures,
). The Cats and Vampires decks form a pre-ordered tutorial, which guides new players step-by-step through their first game. All ten decks, including Cats and Vampires, can be mixed and matched to form 40-card decks.[12]
Foundations Jumpstart
Foundations Jumpstart is a Jumpstart product sold in themed 20-card booster packs; two packs can be shuffled together to form a 40-card deck. There are 46 total themes. Each pack contains 1 or 2 rare cards (33% chance of 2 rares) and 1 card with anime-inspired art.[5]
Starter Collection
The Starter Collection is designed for players looking to build their first deck. It includes 387 cards, 90 basic lands, 3 Foundations Play Boosters, and 13 tokens.[5] Cards were selected to encourage deck-building, showcase the game's depth, and provide tournament-viable cards for multiple formats.[9]
Booster packs


Each Play Booster consists of 14 cards and one token or art card. Each Collector Booster contains 15 cards and one traditional-foil double-sided token. Many of the set's Booster Fun treatments, including Japan Showcase cards, are exclusive to Collector Boosters. Contents are as follows:[5]

Digital releases
Magic: The Gathering Arena
Cards from the Starter Collection and Beginner Box are available on Magic: The Gathering Arena alongside cards from the main set. Unlike with the main set, the Starter Collection and Beginner Box products are not available for purchase on the client, and the exclusive cards can only be obtained by crafting wildcards. Those cards do not appear in Magic: The Gathering Foundations packs or Limited events. In the initial set announcement, Sol Ring was listed as becoming available on Arena in the Foundations card image gallery; this was subsequently clarified as a mistake and the card would not be added to the client for crafting.[13] Alongside the Foundations release, eleven new half-deck packets featuring cards from the main set were added to the Jump In! roster.[14]
Magic Online

To help support players acquiring premium and Booster Fun cards, Foundations is available to purchase on Magic Online in both regular Play Boosters and the MTGO-exclusive Premium Booster for $5.99. A Premium Booster contains 10 cards, including five rares or mythic rares and at least eight foils. The set's foil Special Guests and its Bundle and Buy-a-Box promos are only available via Treasure Chests. Additionally, players who purchase the Account Upgrade Kit receive one copy of each reprinted card from the Starter Collection (103 cards total) in addition to the Kit's regular contents. As with Arena, the Starter Collection and Beginner Box products are not available for purchase.[15]
Premium cards
Booster Fun for Foundations includes extended art, borderless art (including in mana foil), and Japan Showcase treatments (including in fracture foil). The set also includes traditional-foil printings of normal cards, and Special Guests in both traditional foil and non-foil.[5]
Japan Showcase
The set includes ten Japan Showcase versions of cards from the main set (FDN #422–441). Each card has been reimagined by Japanese artists and illustrators and has a special frame and style that pays homage to Japanese hobby shops. They use the normal FDN set code and expansion symbol (). Japan Showcase cards appear only in Collector Boosters. In Japanese Collector Boosters, they are always in Japanese; in non-Japanese Collector Boosters, they appear in English two thirds of the time and in Japanese one third of the time.[5]
Special Guests
Ten Special Guests (SPG #74–83) appear in booster packs. These may be found in Play Boosters and played in Limited games. Non-foil Special Guests appear in 1.5% of Play Boosters, while traditional-foil Special Guests appear in Collector Boosters. The Special Guests for this set showcase some previous plane-specific treatments.[5]
The rarity of some Special Guests is adjusted only on MTG Arena to more closely match the rarity each card would ordinarily be printed at. This change only affects the types of wildcards required to craft these cards; they still appear at the same frequency to other cards in the set and to each other as they do in paper.[13]
- Condemn (Arena: Uncommon)
- Sphinx's Tutelage (Arena: Uncommon)
- Grim Tutor
- Embercleave
- Goblin Bushwhacker (Arena: Common)
- Bloom Tender (Arena: Rare)
- Paradise Druid (Arena: Uncommon)
- Akroma's Memorial
- Temporal Manipulation
- Fiend Artisan
Themes and mechanics
There are no new mechanics in Foundations.[16] However, more deciduous mechanics appear in this set than in any previous premier set outside of the Time Spiral block.[17] Returning deciduous mechanics are distributed over the colors as follows:[16][18]
Mechanic | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Flashback | |||||
Kicker | |||||
Landfall | |||||
Morbid | |||||
Prowess | |||||
Raid | |||||
Threshold |
The most ubiquitous predefined tokens, Food and Treasure, also return.[7]
Creature types
The main set includes a small amount of typal support for Angels, Cats, Dragons, Elves, Goblins, Vampires, Wizards, and Zombies. Together with the Beginner Box and Starter Collection, supported creature types also include Kithkin, Pirates, Skeletons, and Soldiers.[19]
Changes
Foundations introduced some changes to the Comprehensive Rules, to card templating,[20] and to card frames. The templating and card frame changes did not appear in Foundations Jumpstart, which was edited before the main Foundations set.[21]
Rules
The rules update for Foundations included a change to the combat phase. When multiple creatures block or are blocked by a single creature, the single creature's controller no longer chooses a damage assignment order in the declare blockers step. Instead, that creature's controller assigns combat damage however they like among the multiple creatures during the combat damage step; players may not take any actions between when damage is assigned and when it's dealt. Originally, damage assignment order was added to ease the transition of Magic 2010's rules changes. It was removed in Foundations to streamline the rules and to shift some power away from blocking and toward attacking.[16] Trample is effectively unchanged, including the interaction of trample with deathtouch.[6]
Some smaller changes were also made. The rules for the modified keyword were changed to match the design intent of Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor (Modern Horizons 3); this does not affect cards from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty except in corner cases. The update also clarified what happens when a continuous effects with a "for as long as…" duration starts while the spell or ability that created it is resolving. Finally, rules were added to clarify what happens when a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking a planeswalker no longer controlled, or a battle no longer protected, by a defending player.[20]
Templating
Foundations introduced some non-functional changes to card templating. Self-referencing card names are largely replaced with phrases like "this creature" or "this Equipment", with the major exception of legendary permanents. To reduce confusion, effects that instruct players to sacrifice permanents or to put permanents on the top or bottom of their library now specify which player is making those choices; Innocent Blood, for example, now reads "Each player sacrifices a creature of their choice". At the time of release, the sacrifice and top-or-bottom-of-library changes updated to existing cards in Oracle.[20] Existing self-referencing card names were later changed in Aetherdrift Oracle update.[22] The ability words ferocious, formidable, and pack tactics were also removed from select reprints during the Foundations Oracle update, then reinstated during the Aetherdrift update.[22]
Card frames
As of Foundations, the Nyx frame is used as the default frame for all enchantments, not just enchantment creatures.[4]
Storyline
Foundations features characters and locations from many different planes and at different points in time. Each color is represented by a planeswalker and a legendary creature as the "main characters" of the set, who appear or are planned to appear in sets released soon after Foundations. These characters are featured in promotional material and on the two cycles of full-art basic lands,[23] called character lands.[5] Because of the set's timeline-agnostic flavor, the five planeswalker cards are not evidence that these characters kept their sparks through the Desparkening.[24]
Main character | Color | Card | Character land | Plane of land | Cycle |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ajani Goldmane | Ajani, Caller of the Pride | Plains #282 | Theros | Planeswalkers | |
Kaito Shizuki | Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator | Island #285 | Kamigawa | Planeswalkers | |
Liliana Vess | Liliana, Dreadhorde General | Swamp #286 | Innistrad | Planeswalkers | |
Chandra Nalaar | Chandra, Flameshaper | Mountain #288 | Avishkar | Planeswalkers | |
Vivien Reid | Vivien Reid | Forest #291 | Ikoria | Planeswalkers | |
Giada | Giada, Font of Hope | Plains #283 | New Capenna | Legendary creatures | |
Zimone Wola | Zimone, Paradox Sculptor | Island #284 | Arcavios | Legendary creatures | |
Tinybones | Tinybones, Bauble Burglar | Swamp #287 | Dominaria[citation needed] | Legendary creatures | |
Kellan | Kellan, Planar Trailblazer | Mountain #289 | Thunder Junction | Legendary creatures | |
Loot | Loot, Exuberant Explorer | Forest #290 | Amonkhet | Legendary creatures |
Limited environment

Foundations was designed for the following limited archetypes.[25] These are the most quintessential, recognizable themes of each respective color pair.[26]
: Flying
: Graveyard
: Raid
: Power (4 or greater)
: +1/+1 counters
: Life gain
: Spells (instants and sorceries)
: Morbid
: Aggro
: Ramp
Writing for Draftsim two weeks after the set's release, Bryan Hohns states that the Draft format is less about synergy and more about individual card quality and a good mana curve, with build-around cards like Inspiring Call often being traps. He identifies white as the best color due to powerful removal spells and best overall card quality, pointing to Healer's Hawk, Dazzling Angel, Vanguard Seraph, Helpful Hunter, and Felidar Savior as especially powerful commons. Green is identified as the weakest color, relying on Llanowar Elves and several powerful uncommons due to its overall low card quality at common. Hohns identifies the best archetypes as white-blue fliers, red-green stompy, and blue-black threshold, while noting that no archetype is unplayable.[26]
Design and development
The idea of an unchanging, non-rotating core set was occasionally floated in R&D for several decades prior to Foundations' inception. While planning for the final product slot of 2024, R&D was looking for a new introductory product, a way to position the next Jumpstart set, and a way to reduce the overall number of Magic releases; they realized that the unchanging core set could solve all these problems, and the product was green-lit.[27]
Foundations was envisioned as "a set called Magic: The Gathering". Designers focused on clean, elegant card designs, both when creating new cards and when selecting reprints; more complexity was allowed for resonant top-down cards, such as Nine-Lives Familiar. No specific number of reprints was targeted; instead, reprints were used whenever possible, and new cards were created as needed. This resulted in a roughly even split between reprints and new cards.[4]
The set represents a shift in R&D's philosophy of beginner products. Instead of simplifying Magic as much as possible, the goal is to excite players by giving them a taste of the game's true depth, even if it slightly overwhelms them.[28] This approach was partially inspired by a focus group in which new players—after learning to play with existing beginner products—complained that Magic was boring and lacked depth.[9]
Marketing
