''Dominaria United'' contains 281 cards {{curmb|101|80|60|20|20|}}, and includes randomly inserted [[premium]] versions of all cards. Set, Draft and Collector Boosters contain a [[legendary]] card in each booster, showing off a cast of beloved legends and characters that longtime fans will recognize. There are more than 40 legendary creatures across the set. The regular cards include 5 [[full-art]] "stained-glass" [[basic land]]s by [[Magali Villeneuve]] (#277-281).<ref>{{TwitterRef|Cathaoir1|1550361476015210496|author=[[Magali Villeneuve]]|title=For the first time in my MTG journey, I got a full set of Basic Lands!|date=July 22, 2022}}</ref> The other cycles of basics depict automaton relics of the [[Brothers' War]], Phyrexian ruins, and legendary artifacts respectively.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|XqTOfSgXfZo|Building Worlds – Dominaria United|channel=Magic: The Gathering|date=August 16, 2022}}</ref>

Alternate [[card frame]]s have a different card number than the original version. The Standard legal [[Jumpstart (format)|Jumpstart]] rares are #282-286, "Stained Glass" Legends are #287-327, and "[[textured foil]]" Legends are #328-368.

''Dominaria United'' pays homage to the [[Invasion block]] in a similar way that the 2018 ''[[Dominaria]]'' set paid homage to ''[[Alpha]]'' and other early ''Magic'' editions.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/690253462640967680/im-so-hyped-for-dominaria-united-can-you-say|July 19, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Stand 2"/>

===Storyline===
We return once again to [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]], meeting some familiar heroes and villains.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|DPrq5jk5J04|Magic Showcase 2021 (live)|channel=Magic: The Gathering|date=August 24, 2021}}</ref> The story begins following [[Karn]] as he looks back on Dominaria's past to prepare for its future. [[Sheoldred|The enemy]] is already on Dominaria, and it's only a matter of time before conflict breaks out. This kicks off the epic Phyrexian story arc spanning four sets where the fate of Dominaria — and the [[Multiverse]] — is set to unravel.<ref name="Sneak Peek"/> 

The cards that represent the [[Story Spotlight]]s in ''Dominaria United'' are:

===Marketing===
[[File:DMU Jumpstart Booster.png|thumb|right|[[Jumpstart Booster]]]]
''Dominaria United'' is sold in regular 16-card [[Draft Booster]]s (one card being a [[marketing card]]), [[Collector Booster]]s, [[Set Booster]]s, the ''Dominaria United'' [[Bundle]], and four [[Commander deck]]s.<ref name="Overview">{{DailyRef|feature/dominaria-united-product-overview-2022-08-18|''Dominaria United'' Product Overview|Tim Brown|August 18, 2022}}</ref> The Draft Boosters feature artwork depicting [[Karn]]. The Set Boosters feature art depicting [[Ajani Goldmane]], and the Collector Boosters feature artwork depicting [[Braids]]. In ''Dominaria United'', every single Set, Draft, and Collector Booster comes with a guaranteed [[legendary]] creature.<ref name="Overview"/>

With the release of ''Dominaria United'', 75 cards were rotated into [[The List]], many of which were thematically or mechanically linked to the set. The List-cards can be found in the Set Boosters. 

====Jumpstart====
With this set, Wizards introduces set-related [[Jumpstart Booster]]s, replacing the [[Theme Booster]]s.<ref name="Sneak Peek"/> ''Jumpstart'' packs for ''Dominaria United'' feature cards from the set, including a rare or mythic rare, two foil basic lands, and a mechanically unique rare designed for the ''Jumpstart'' pack. There are 10 different themes.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|3kJX5LG_gUE|June 30, 2022 Announcement Day|channel=[[Weekly MTG]]|date=June 30, 2022}}</ref>
{{Main|Dominaria United/Jumpstart}}

====Box Toppers====
{{Main|Dominaria United/Box Toppers}}
''Dominaria United'' features a series of 20 [[box topper]] promos, referred to as "[[Legends Retold]]". These are 20 beefed up versions of [[legendary]] [[creature]]s from ''[[Legends]]''.<ref name="Previews"/><ref name="Overview"/><ref name="Collecting"/>

====Lost Legends====
In selected [[collector booster]]s, an original card from ''[[Legends]]'', found in an old warehouse, was included.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/lost-legends-2022-07-21|Lost Legends|[[Blake Rasmussen]]|July 21, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Overview"/><ref name="Collecting">{{DailyRef|feature/collecting-dominaria-united-2022-08-18|Collecting ''Dominaria United''|[[Mike Turian]]|August 18, 2022}}</ref> These "Lost Legends" appear in 3% of boosters, and not every card from ''Legends'' was included. Some cards were missing because of the well-known ''Legends'' [[Legends#Set details|collation problems]], some because Wizards of the Coast doesn't want to be associated with a certain artist anymore, and some because the depictions or [[flavor text]]s are nowadays considered to be [[culturally offensive]]. Because original cards are used, their distribution doesn't violate the [[Reserved List]].

==Themes and mechanics==
[[Legendary]] creatures, Legendary matters, [[Multicolor]], and throwbacks are revisited themes from ''[[Dominaria]]''. [[Historic]] was also planned to return but it was removed in [[Set Design]].<ref name="Stand 1">{{DailyRef|making-magic/dominaria-united-we-stand-part-1-2022-08-18|Dominaria United We Stand, Part 1|[[Mark Rosewater]]|August 18, 2022}}</ref>

'''[[Kicker]]''' is a returning mechanic originally featured in the [[Invasion block]], and was also seen in ''[[Dominaria]]''.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/dominaria-united-mechanics-2022-08-18|''Dominaria United'' Mechanics|[[Matt Tabak]]|August 18, 2022}}</ref> Its is a [[keyword ability]] that allows the player to pay an extra [[cost]] for a bonus [[effect]]. 

'''[[Domain]]''' is another returning mechanic, an [[ability word]] that modifies an [[effect]] depending on the number of different [[basic]] lands you control. 

'''[[Enlist]]''' is a new mechanic introduced here, a [[keyword ability]] that allows one to tap another creature to add its power to the attacking creature.

'''[[Read ahead]]''' is a new [[keyword ability]] on [[Saga]]s that allows the player to skip [[chapter]]s to get to the effects they want.

[[Evergreen]] '''[[stun counter]]s''', that keep permanents out of the action for an extended period, are also introduced in this set. One card, <c>Ajani, Sleeper Agent</c> distributes '''[[Poison counter]]s'''.
 
===Limited archetypes===
''Dominaria United'' features the following limited archetypes (the default being two colors with a [[splash]]):
*{{W}}{{U}}: [[Go wide]] with [[instant]]s and [[sorcery|sorceries]]
*{{U}}{{B}}: [[Control]]
*{{B}}{{R}}: [[Aggro]] with payoffs for your creatures dying
*{{R}}{{G}}: [[Domain]] [[midrange]]
*{{G}}{{W}}: [[Domain]] and [[go wide]]
*{{W}}{{B}}: [[Go wide]] and [[sacrifice]] ([[Aristocrats]])
*{{U}}{{R}}: [[Tempo]] with instants and sorceries
*{{B}}{{G}}: [[Graveyard]] [[midrange]]
*{{R}}{{W}}: [[Go wide]] [[aggro]]
*{{G}}{{U}}: [[Domain]] [[ramp]]

===Card types===
The set introduces the '''[[Powerstone]]''' [[artifact type]]. Powerstone appears on [[predefined token]]s with the ability “{{T}}: Add {{C}}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.” Only seen on one card (and on one Commander card), this is a "throw-forward" to ''[[The Brothers' War]]''.<ref name="Stand 2">{{DailyRef|making-magic/dominaria-united-we-stand-part-2-2022-08-22|Dominaria United We Stand, Part 2|[[Mark Rosewater]]|August 22, 2022}}</ref>

===Counter types===
The set introduces '''[[Ingenuity counter]]s''' and '''[[Phyresis counter]]s'''.
