Mystery Booster is a special Magic: The Gathering set crafted for a "Chaos Draft" experience, drawing from nearly 2,000 different cards across the entirety of Magic's history, marking it as the largest expansion ever. Its debut print run was convention-exclusive, incorporating 121 unique "playtest cards" restricted to draft and sealed play. The subsequent retail release substituted these with 121 foil reprints, while a third printing of the Convention Edition went to local game stores to commemorate in-store play's return after pandemic restrictions. Distinct from typical expansions, it was produced exclusively in English and distributed solely in draft boosters, packaged in boxes of 24.
