Mystery Booster 2

A guide to limited play for Magic the Gathering's 2024 Mystery Booster 2 set.

Overview

Whether you're taking your first steps into Magic, finishing up your Mystery Booster is back! Mystery Booster 2 is everything you loved about the original Mystery Booster release, with playtest cards, reprints of iconic Magic staples, and artwork from across the history of the game. For the sequel to such a beloved product, Lead Designer Gavin Verhey worked to make this a love letter to Magic superfans. — What's Inside Mystery Booster 2 (magic.wizards.com)

Playtest Cards

Much like the first Mystery Booster release, Mystery Booster 2 includes 121 "playtest cards" created by some of the brightest (and silliest) minds in Studio X. They're not printed in normal Magic frames, they've undergone little to no rules scrutiny (at least until I wrote this document), and they haven't been tested for balance. As you may soon notice, playtest cards have varying levels of seriousness. — Mystery Booster 2 Release notes (magic.wizards.com)
