Beyond Boosters Arrive—What Are They?

With this set, we're introducing a new booster: the Beyond Booster. It's a 7-card booster packed with eye-catching cards from the Assassin's Creed® set release. Inside, your community will find classic characters and items, rediscovering their favorite moments from the franchise imagined in a new way.

Beyond Boosters are a unique curated experience, ideal for collectors looking to bring some Assassin's Creed® style to their Modern or Commander decks. Your customers can purchase a full display of Beyond Boosters; they can also find them in the Bundle, where they'll additionally get their hands on other items, including basic lands and a Spindown life counter.

What Other Products Are in the Set?

For those truly aiming for the sharpest Assassin's Creed® cards around, Collector Boosters will be available: each Collector Booster in the set contains 10 cards, containing textured and traditional foils and possibly the special treatment coming with the set: Serialized Historical Figures.

Of course, there will be fans coming into your store who have never touched a Magic card before, but love the Assassin's Creed® franchise. You'll want to point these players to the Starter Kit. Each Starter Kit contains two decks: one blue-black and one red-white. Each deck includes deck boxes for easy storage and a how-to guide to get players started with their first game.

We encourage you, if able, to sit down and demo a game of Magic with newer players using the Starter Kit. Often, having a fun first-time experience encourages players to return to your store again for more events. Depending on what they liked about playing, you may even recommend they pick up a few more Magic products to take home!
