The Masterpiece Series is a series of promotional Magic reprint sets of foil cards that are randomly inserted in boosters of different blocks. Each individual block has its own name for the Series, but it will be referred to overall as the Masterpiece Series. The Masterpiece Series was created after the commercial success of the Zendikar Expeditions.[1][2]
Description
- All cards appearing in the Masterpiece Series also have appeared in other rarities.
- The card versions of the Masterpiece Series exist at a rarity higher than mythic rare, but slightly less rare than a foil mythic rare. For example, for Kaladesh roughly 1 out of every 144 boosters contains a Masterpiece (technically 1:2,160 cards.) These ratios may change for future sets.
- The Masterpiece Series, both in presentation and card selection, will be tied thematically to the world appearing in the block.[3]
- Masterpiece themes won’t always be card type based.[4]
- The frame treatment will be exclusive to the Masterpiece Series it appears in. It will change block to block and will be created to match the feel of the world/block.[5]
- Masterpiece cards can have keywords that don't otherwise appear in the set they're printed with.[6]
- The number of Masterpiece Series cards may fluctuate, but is about 50 cards for a block.
- All Masterpiece Series cards are printed in English, but they do appear in non-English product.
- The expansion symbol for each Masterpiece Series will be block-specific, but distinct from the sets in that block.
- Masterpiece cards appear in Magic Online, but are not redeemable and are not counted as part of the set.
- Masterpiece cards do not exist in Magic Duels.
- Masterpiece cards can be played in any Limited format they're opened in and in any Constructed format in which the card is already legal.
