Playable in Draft and Sealed, MH3 Magic: the Gathering Playbooster packs have a slot for new to Modern cards that were previously Eternal, or Commander cards only. A Wildcard slot was included that can include any rarity card with a treatment like Retro Frame, Borderless Frame Break, and even a Snow-Covered Waste basic land.
