A fat pack is a special Magic product from WOTC, consisting of several of their products. The fat pack is useful to both beginners and thorough collectors. Fat packs came out during Mercadian Masques. There has been a fat pack for every expansion and Core Set since. Starting with 9th Edition, fat packs were redesigned with a cardboard piece surrounding two boxes. This cardboard piece could be unglued from itself and inside was a panorama artpiece. 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. Fat packs originally had a MSRP of U.S. $24.95, their price has gone up 20% to U.S. $29.99.
