God Packs And Other Major Changes Coming to MTG Boosters in 2027

Key Points:

• Wizards of the Coast announced major updates to Magic: The Gathering booster packs starting in 2027, including a reintroduction of the rare “God Packs” that contain only rares and mythics, appearing at rates of 1:1000 in Play Boosters and 1:300 in Collector Boosters.
• Play Boosters will be renamed simply “Booster Packs” and will no longer include foil commons or uncommons; instead, foil rares and mythics will have an increased drop rate, and Japan Showcase cards will now be available in these packs.
• Collector Boosters will be slightly downsized, losing one foil uncommon and two commons without replacement, making foil commons and uncommons rarer and potentially more valuable as they become exclusive to premium packs.
• The new God Packs echo a previous iteration from the Theros block but are curated differently, featuring a mix of foil and non-foil rares and mythics along with a special God Pack celebration card.
• These changes aim to enhance the excitement of opening booster packs by focusing on higher-rarity cards and will roll out through 2027 into 2028 and beyond.
