Bundle

The bundle, previously known as the fat pack, is a special Magic product from WOTC, consisting of several of their products. The bundle is useful to both beginners and thorough collectors.

Fat packs were first introduced with Mercadian Masques. There has been a fat pack for every expansion and Core Set since. In May 2016, the fat packs were rechristened to 'bundles', connecting the name to the appropiate set. The first one to be released is the Kaladesh Bundle, the next one the Aether Revolt Bundle, and so forth.

History
When the brand team first decided to make the Fat Pack, they had a meeting to brainstorm names. One of the joke suggestion was "Phat Pack", making fun of teenage slang at the time. A number of people at the meeting didn't get it was a joke and decided they liked it — just with a small spelling change.

Fat packs originally had a MSRP of U.S. $24.95. They contained three booster packs, a tournament pack, two premium cards, a visual guide of the set and a novel. For small sets, the tournament pack was exchanged for three extra boosters.

Ninth Edition
Starting with Ninth Edition, fat packs were redesigned with a cardboard piece surrounding two matching boxes. This cardboard piece could be unglued from itself and inside was a panorama art-piece. Six color-coded plastic card dividers were added to keep the cards separated in the card boxes. The two premium cards were removed and a 40-card land pack was added.

Ravnica: City of Guilds
Starting with Ravnica: City of Guilds, the visual card encyclopedia in the back of the player's guide was changed from completely alphabetical to by color then alphabetical within each color.

Shadowmoor
Starting with Shadowmoor, the fat pack was redesigned so that the panorama art-piece surrounded just one card box (disposable cardboard inserts allowed it to contain the contents, once the inserts and contents were removed the card box is the same size as previous card boxes). The art-piece is 2¼" smaller in unwrapped length. The color-coded card dividers were removed. The number of boosters increased from 6 to 8.

Shards of Alara
Starting with Shards of Alara, the fat pack's content was changed replacing the novel with a brief introduction of the expansion's respective novel or Planeswalker's Guide. The Pro Tour Player card was removed.

Mirrodin Besieged
In the Mirrodin Besieged, the fat pack's content was changed removing the brief introduction of the expansion's respective novel. The amount of boosters increased from 8 to 9 and the land pack now contained 80 lands. Two deck boxes were added.

Innistrad and Dark Ascension
The first two sets of the Innistrad block exchanged 10 basic land for 10 checklist cards.

After the (temporary) demise of the core sets
In 2014 it was announced that concurrent with the Two-Block Paradigm, fat packs (as well as intro packs and Deck Builder's Toolkits) would be re-figured to accommodate starter level players.

Kaladesh
With the release of Kaladesh Fat packs were given a facelift. Now considered to be too nondescript, the name was changed to "[set name] Bundle." The number of boosters increased from 9 to 10. The Bundle had an MSRP of $42.99. The package adds two smaller boxes to store counters, tokens etc. Regular cards don't fit in these small boxes.

Core Set 2020
Core Set 2020 removed the player's guide, made the life counter oversized, changed the number of basic lands from 80 to 40 (20 normal and 20 foil), and added a special promo.

Contents
Below is a list of the fat packs / bundles and their variable contents. In addition to the listed contents, most fat packs contain a rules - or "Learn-to-Play" insert and up until Core Set 2020 a player's guide with a complete visual encyclopedia of the set. Spindown life counters often come in five different colors.

Bundle promos
Core Set 2020 was the first set to contain a foil alternate art promo card included in the Bundle.
