"Magic: The Gathering" Gets a New "Double Masters" Set in August
Fans of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering are getting a new expansion set in August. Magic publisher Wizards of the Coast, which is a unit of global toy giant Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS), announced the "Double Masters" set on Thursday, May 21.
Fifteen-card booster packs will hit the Magic Online e-commerce site on Aug. 6. The full Double Masters set of 332 cards will hit store shelves and online retail channels on Aug. 7, packaged in 15-card packs and 24-card booster boxes.
The key word here is "Double." Wizards made sure to double the number of rare cards per booster pack, the number of foil cards per pack, the number of box toppers, and more. The popular Doubling Season card, for example, shows up in its standard form and a reimagined box-topper version with the same rules but new art. This is the fifth Magic set to feature the rare Doubling Season card.
