Magic 2015/Sample decks

The Magic 2015 Core Set is accompanied by five thirty-card sample decks, consisting of basic lands, commons, 4 uncommons and 1 rare. They feature cards from Magic 2015, but this time around no cards from the preceding block. Instead, some cards of that block were reprinted with the new card frame. Each sample deck has several cards numbered 270 and higher that do not appear in Magic 2015 booster packs. These cards are legal for tournament play in any format that includes the Magic 2015 core set.
