PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ravnica Remastered contains 292 cards: 111 commons, 90 uncommons, 71 rares, and 20 mythic rares. Check them all out in the Ravnica Remastered Card Image Gallery.
Ravnica Remastered pulls content from thirteen different sets from throughout Magic's history! Our design team has combed through the nine different Ravnica sets to showcase the evolution of your favorite guilds, iconic landscapes, and returning characters. We've also dug through the archives to find the different expressions of Ravnica in sets outside the core Ravnica blocks to add some new flavor to a familiar location.
For more information about the design behind this set, stay tuned for the Designing Ravnica Remastered article coming tomorrow, December 13.
RETRO FRAME CARDS
There are 135 retro frame cards in Ravnica Remastered: 25 commons, 36 uncommons, 58 rares, and 16 mythic rares.
You can find retro frame cards in Draft and Collector Boosters in both non-foil and traditional foil.
- Retro frame mythic rares appear in 2.7% of Draft Boosters.
- Traditional foil retro frame mythic rares appear in less than 1% of Draft Boosters.
To curate the best Limited environment within Draft Boosters, the following 21 retro frame cards exclusively appear in both non-foil and traditional foil within Ravnica Remastered Collector Boosters. Some of these cards are either too weak or too powerful for Limited, while some support strategies that aren't adequately represented within the set. With that said, we understand that these cards see play across multiple formats and want to make sure that retro frame versions of these cards are available to add to your collection.
- Collector Booster–exclusive retro frame cards:
- Common: Shambling Shell
- Uncommon: Sphere of Safety, Aetherize, Narcomoeba, Turnabout, Creeping Chill, Darkblast, Shattering Spree, Perilous Forays, Wilderness Reclamation, and Magewright's Stone
- Rare: Rest in Peace, Gigantoplasm, Pack Rat, Supreme Verdict, Pithing Needle, Karn's Bastion, and Thespian's Stage
- Mythic rare: Enter the Infinite, Niv-Mizzet Reborn, and Maze's End
- Pack Rat
- The default frame Pack Rat is intentionally not included in Ravnica Remastered products.
- The retro frame version of Pack Rat exclusively appears in Collector Boosters in non-foil and traditional foil.
- The borderless anime version of Pack Rat is available in both Draft Boosters and Collector Boosters in non-foil and traditional foil.
BORDERLESS CARDS
The borderless cards in Ravnica Remastered feature new artwork on fan-favorite cards from throughout the history of Ravnica. There are 40 borderless cards in Ravnica Remastered: 23 rares and 17 mythic rares.
There are 30 borderless cards in an anime art style—taking inspiration from War of the Spark. These cards are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Draft and Collector Boosters.
The 10 borderless shock lands are available in non-foil and traditional foil exclusively in Collector Boosters.
Serialized Cards
Serialized cards join a remastered product line for the first time! There are 64 retro frame rares and mythic rares serialized out of 500 appearing in a double rainbow version of our traditional foil, and you can find one in 1% of Collector Boosters.
Serialized cards can only be found in Collector Boosters. Serialized cards are always in English but can be opened in Collector Boosters of any language. They are mechanically identical to their non-serialized counterparts.
DRAFT BOOSTERS
Here are the full contents of Ravnica Remastered Draft Boosters:
- 8–10 Commons*
- 3–4 Uncommons
- 1 Rare or mythic rare
- 1 Mana slot card
- 58% Guildgate (common)
- 33% Signet (uncommon)
- 9% Chromatic Lantern or a shock land (rare)
- 1 Retro frame card of any rarity**
- 1 Token/ad card
(*A traditional foil card of any rarity replaces a common in 33% of Draft Boosters. Traditional foil cards may appear in the regular frame or retro frame.)
(**One retro frame common, uncommon, rare, or mythic rare in every Draft Booster. If the rare or mythic rare has a retro frame, the common or uncommon does not and vice versa.)
You can purchase Draft Boosters individually and in displays of 36 boosters.
Each Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster contains at least one rare and/or mythic rare card from Ravnica's multi-set history!
Ravnica Remastered begins with a twist! There are no basic lands in Ravnica Remastered; the basic land slot in Draft Boosters has been replaced with a mana slot that can contain one of the following cards: 10 Guildgates, 10 Signets, 10 shock lands, or Chromatic Lantern.
- The shock lands, Guildgates, and Chromatic Lantern can also appear in the retro frame elsewhere in the booster.
This mana slot is curated to promote a unique drafting experience that is exclusive to Ravnica Remastered!
