But Wizards of the Coast is introducing &#8216;God Packs&#8217; to MTG, which could feel like winning the lottery.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Everyone who plays TCGs knows the rush you get when you open a booster with a better spread of rares and mythics than usual. Right now, in a Play Booster, that usually means getting between two and four rares and mythics, and it feels incredible when it happens. But in a blog post, Wizards is taking that feeling a step further by announcing &#8216;God Packs,&#8217; which will be entirely comprised of rares and mythics.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters will have a chance to be a god pack, with Collector Boosters naturally being way more likely to hit gold. Approximately 1 in 1,000 Play Boosters will be God Packs, and 1 in 300 Collector Boosters will be God Packs.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">MTG God Packs<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/god-packs-are-officially-coming-to-magic-the-gathering.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">God Packs will have their loot distributed differently between Play and Collector boosters, too. For Play boosters, you&#8217;ll get one special &#8216;God Pack celebration card&#8217; \u2013 whatever that means \u2013 along with 10 non-foil Rares and Mythics. Then, there will be two non-foil &#8216;Booster Fun&#8217; variants (think showcase and borderless cards), along with two foil &#8216;Booster Fun&#8217; cards.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For Collector Boosters, though, you&#8217;ll get one foil land, 3 foil default frame rares and\/or mythics, 3 non-foil &#8216;Booster Fun&#8217; variants, and 5 foil &#8216;Booster Fun&#8217; variants. On top of these rare God Packs, though, Wizards says in its blog, &#8220;while we&#8217;re at it, we&#8217;re also increasing the drop rates on foil rare and mythic rare cards across booster packs&#8221; in order to make them more fun to open.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But it can&#8217;t all be fun and games; Wizards is also removing things from boosters, like foil commons and uncommons from play boosters altogether. It&#8217;s also trimming the amount of cards in Collector Boosters down to 12, by removing 3 of the foil common and uncommon slots.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Wizards claims that these changes will make opening Collector Boosters more meaningful, saying in its blog:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;How does removing cards make opening Collector Boosters more exciting? We&#8217;ll be honest here\u2014it doesn&#8217;t. But we do know that most people who open Collector Boosters mostly skip past these cards. Not everyone, but enough of a majority. You can see it in virtually any Collector Booster opening video, where the video practically skips over that section of the booster. Removing them isn&#8217;t about shrinking the experience; it&#8217;s about making room\u2014in terms of both printing capacity and player psychology\u2014for cards people actually get excited about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">There are a lot of people who skip through their commons and uncommons when cracking a lot of packs, hell I do it sometimes. But there are enough commons and uncommons that see constructed play and already jump in price \u2013 just look at Aetherdrift&#8217;s Stock Up \u2013 that I could see removing these uncommon slots having unforseen consequences.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Either way, these booster changes will go live when Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, and will carry over to every in-universe set going forward. As for Universes Beyond, those sets will get these new booster changes starting in 2028.<\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jacqueline Thomas Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/god-packs-are-officially-coming-to-magic-the-gathering.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jackie Thomas is the Senior Tech Editor at IGN and the PC components queen.
