Wizards of the Coast has announced the return of Magic: The Gathering’s Mystery Booster: Convention Edition coming with in-store events.
Beginning August 20, WPN stores will have limited quantities of Mystery Booster: Convention Edition, with in-store play events available where possible. Check with your local game store to find out when and how you can join in-store events featuring the Mystery Booster: Convention Edition.
Originally released in March 2020, Mystery Booster provides an awesome experience with the feel of a “Chaos Draft” that uses multiple MTG Draft Boosters from different releases but bundles the cards and variety you’d experience into one fantastic package. There are 1,670 reprints from across Magic’s history in the set, plus 121 copies of something new and surprising —R&D Playtest cards you won’t find anywhere outside of Mystery Booster: Convention Edition, which was only made available in Grand Prix and convention events, but now, Wizards is bringing this limited edition product with the return of in-store events.
Each booster pack of the Mystery Booster: Convention Edition contains fourteen from the huge main set, and one Playtest card. You can check out the Gatherer to see all the Playtest cards.
Wizards also announced some updates with the return of Mystery Booster: Convention Edition.
As shown below, two of the Mystery Booster: Convention Edition R&D Playtest cards feature new artwork.
