The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a backdrop set, meaning the plane is the same, but it isn’t Ixalan Part 2. It introduces special guests, which are highly desired reprints that match to the world and flavor of the world they appear in. These cards will be in Collector Boosters and The List in Set Boosters.
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan will also have a Universes Beyond tie-in with Jurassic World. Cards will be inserted in packs similar to the Transformers cards in The Brothers’ War and span 30 years of story telling. The cards will have brand-new Jurassic World artwork showcasing iconic characters and scenes. Some cards will be mechanically unique. Cards will be available in Set Boosters and Collector Boosters. There will be two Secret Lair drops for Jurassic World to cap the product.
