The Booster Fun in March of the Machine

Multiverse Legends

You'll find familiar faces from across the Multiverse fighting with—and against—the Phyrexians. Each Set and Draft Booster contains a Multiverse Legends card. These cards are not Standard legal, but each card is a reprint and can be played in the formats in which they are already legal, as well as in March of the Machine Sealed and Draft. The Multiverse Legends all feature a Booster Fun treatment from their respective plane—sixteen planes in all. You can see all sixteen treatments below, but there's more Multiverse Legends to reveal later:

There are 65 Multiverse Legends: 20 uncommons, 30 rares, and 15 mythic rares. You can find Multiverse Legends in Draft and Set Boosters in traditional foil and non-foil. Roughly one third of the time you receive a non-foil Multiverse Legends card, it will be a rare or mythic rare. Foil-etched versions of the Multiverse Legends featuring their original art can be found in Set and Collector Boosters.

Approximately 4% of Set Boosters contain a foil-etched Multiverse Legends card in the traditional foil slot; a third of the foil-etched Multiverse Legends are rare or mythic rare.

Halo Foils and Serialization

The Multiverse Legends have extra-special versions in Collector Boosters. Each Multiverse Legends card also appears in Halo foil:

 

Halo foils are exclusive to Collector Boosters. A Halo foil rare or mythic rare will appear in 10% of Collector Boosters. A Halo foil uncommon will appear in 24% of Collector Boosters. Halo foils always have a planar frame treatment.

Each Multiverse Legends card also has 500 serialized versions. Each serialized card is numbered from 1 to 500 and appears on a double rainbow version of our traditional foil:

 

These are quite the collectible to find: less than 1% of Collector Boosters contain a serialized Multiverse Legends card.

Additionally, each of the five Praetors found in March of the Machine also appear with serialized versions. Unlike the Multiverse Legends, the serialized versions of the Praetors have art that is unique to the serialized version:

 

Like the serialized Multiverse Legends, the serialized Praetors appear exclusively in Collector Boosters, and exclusively in double rainbow foil. Less than 1% of Collector Boosters contain a serialized Praetor.

While serialized cards can be found in all languages of March of the Machine Collector Boosters, serialized cards themselves are English language only.

Planar Booster Fun

March of the Machine also features planar Booster Fun treatments, matching the homeworld look found with Multiverse Legends (as shown above). Each rare or mythic rare legendary creature in March of the Machine has a planar Booster Fun version:

There are 18 rares and 10 mythic rares featuring the planar Booster Fun treatment in March of the Machine. Each may appear in Set, Draft, and Collector Boosters, in traditional foil and non-foil. (Note that only Multiverse Legends appear in Halo foil.) Approximately 8% of Draft Boosters and 10% of Set Boosters contain a non-foil planar Booster Fun rare or mythic rare.

Borderless Planeswalkers

Three planeswalker cards appear with borderless versions in March of the Machine:

Each appear in Set, Draft, and Collector Boosters, in traditional foil and non-foil. Less than 1% of Draft and Set Boosters contain a borderless planeswalker.

Full-Art Basic Lands

The Phyrexians announced their invasion with symbols in the sky. You can see these harbingers in the full-art lands of March of the Machine:

These full-art basic lands can be found in Set and Draft Boosters in traditional foil and non-foil. Approximately a third of March of the Machine Set and Draft Boosters contain a full-art basic land. In Set Boosters, approximately a third of the traditional foil basic lands you'll find will be full-art basic lands as well. Each Collector Booster contains a traditional foil full-art basic land.

Extended Art

All the single-faced rares and mythic rares in March of the Machine that don't appear in other Booster Fun treatments appear with extended art in the Collector Booster, in traditional foil and non-foil. The extended-art treatment appears on 31 rares and two mythic rares from March of the Machine. The five rares from March of the Machine Jumpstart Boosters also appear in extended art, as do 42 rares and 12 mythic rares from the March of the Machine Commander set.

Prerelease Promos

The climax of the Phyrexian invasion with the March of the Machine Prerelease is Magic's can't-miss event—and it comes with something more for everyone. You can find even more planar Booster Fun legends facing down the Phyrexians by attending a Prerelease event at your local game store.

Each March of the Machine Prerelease Pack contains one of three additional Prerelease promos:

You'll get one of these three promo cards at random in addition to your year-stamped promo rare or mythic rare card from March of the Machine. (However, you can only use the stamped rare or mythic rare promo in your sealed deck, not these special Prerelease promos.)

These Prerelease promos can be found in non-foil and traditional foil, as can their planar Booster Fun versions:

Approximately two thirds of Prerelease Packs contain a non-foil Prerelease promo. Approximately 11% of Prerelease Packs contain a traditional foil Prerelease promo. Slightly fewer than 15% of Prerelease Packs contain a non-foil planar Booster Fun Prerelease promo, and approximately 7.4% of Prerelease Packs contain a traditional foil planar Booster Fun Prerelease promo.

These Prerelease promos do not appear in Collector Boosters: if you want one, you should participate in a March of the Machine Prerelease event!

Planechase Cards with March of the Machine Commander Decks

Planechase returns to Magic with the March of the Machines Commander decks. (If you're unfamiliar, check out Gavin Verhey's scoop on why Planechase is so awesome.) Each Commander deck includes ten oversized Planechase cards unique to that deck: five new-to-Magic Planechase cards and five Planechase card reprints. You can collect all March of the Machine Planechase cards by collecting all five of the Commander decks.

Buy-a-Box Promo
