Why are MTG Beyond boosters different from Playbooster packs?
“Beyond boosters are a middle-sized product in our [WotC] product ecosystem,” product architect Zakeel Gordon explained. They are designed for 60-card formats.
Cards within Beyond boosters for the Universes Beyond Assassin’s Creed MTG set weren’t designed for Limited Draft and Sealed play, so WotC included fewer cards than what you find in Playbooster packs. The concept of an MTG Beyond booster spawned from the failed March of the Machine: The Aftermath Epilogue boosters.
At time of writing, the MTG community’s feelings range from indifferent to disappointed regarding the new Beyond boosters, but some fans are willing to hold off any major opinions until official Assassin’s Creed spoilers begin to drop.
