Strixhaven Prerelease Packs Will Feature College Alignment Themes

Check out the full range of products releasing with Strixhaven.

Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has released the full product overview for Strixhaven: School of Mages, including a look at the new College-themed Prerelease Packs.

Prerelease Packs

Players will align themselves with one of Strixhaven‘s five colleges and select a Prerelease Pack that’s designed to match each college’s unique aesthetic. These Prerelease Packs include everything needed to build a Sealed deck, including:

  • 1 College Booster containing a rare or mythic rare guaranteed to match your chosen college, 3 uncommons, 9 commons, and 2 tokens
  • 5 Draft Boosters
  • 1 Year-stamped foil rare or mythic rare card (with a new stamp!)
  • 1 College-themed spindown
  • 1 Insert portraying a piece of the campus map
  • 1 Reusable box with divider

Commander Decks

Each Strixhaven Commander deck is themed to match one of the five colleges, and contain “81 new cards,” plus the following:

  • 100 Cards (98 regular, 2 foil)
  • 1 Foil-etched display commander
  • 10 Double-sided tokens
  • 1 Life wheel
  • 1 Deck box

Set Boosters

Set Boosters return with Strixhaven, and are designed for those who enjoy the thrill of opening packs, rather than Drafting. Each Set Booster includes the following:

  • 1 Mystical Archive card (uncommon, rare, or mythic rare)
  • 1 Lesson card of any rarity
  • 1 Traditional foil card of any rarity*
  • 1 Card from The List in 1 out of 4 boosters
  • 1 Art Card

Draft Boosters

Strixhaven Draft Boosters remain a comfortable consistent, with the only change being to include cards from the Mystical Archive. According to WotC, in Japanese Booster packs, “50% of all Mystical Archive cards will have the… alternate art and frame.”

  • 1 Rare or mythic rare
  • 1 Mystical Archive card (uncommon, rare, or mythic rare)
  • 1 Lesson card (common, rare, or mythic rare)
  • 3 Uncommons
  • 9 Commons
  • 1 Common card replaced by a foil card of any rarity* in 1 out of 3 boosters

Collector Boosters

Designed with collectors in mind, Collector Boosters contain the most sought-after cards from the set. These include “two foil-etched Mystical Archive cards”, one of which will be “global and the other will always be the Japanese alternate-art variant.” You can view the full contents of the Collector Boosters below.

Strixhaven Bundles

Bundles are a great gift for new and veteran players and contain a “large quantity of cards with some exciting bonuses.”

  • 10 Draft Boosters
  • 20 Foil basic lands
  • 20 Regular basic lands
  • 1 Bundle alt-art promo card
  • 1 Exclusive oversized spindown
  • 1 Card storage box

Theme Boosters

Lastly, Theme Boosters return with Strixhaven, and remain the perfect introductory-level product. Strixhaven Theme Boosters are aligned with each of the five colleges, so new players can easily build a deck containing cards from the college of their choice. Each Theme Booster is filled with a “combination of 1–2 rares and/or mythic rares and 33–34 commons and uncommons.”
