Magic: The Gathering — Assassin’s Creed Announced As The Newest Universes Beyond Set

Magic: The Gathering has been adapting universes for a while now, and this July, it’s adding another video game franchise: Assassin’s Creed. The new Universes Beyond set is legal for use in Modern, Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. With great art (what the card game is known for), we got the chance to see the Starter kit, the fun you can have with the boosters, the debut of Beyond Boosters, and a look at the main set.

We have all the collector’s details listed below. 

Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed Boosters

The Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed (ACR) booster release contains 54 uncommons, 37 rares including 5 rare dual lands, and 14 mythic rares in addition to 10 full-art basic lands.

• Full-Art Basic Lands: There are 10 full-art basic lands in the set, each one displaying the beautiful landscapes from the Assassin’s Creed franchise. You can find non-foil full-art basic lands in Beyond Boosters and Bundles, with traditional foil full-art basic lands available exclusively in Collector Boosters and Bundles.
• Memory Corridor: Inspired by the aesthetic of the franchise, 28 cards with the memory corridor treatment can be found in the set—5 mythic rares, 14 rares, and 9 uncommons, with every Assassin card available in this treatment. These are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Beyond Boosters and Collector Boosters.
• Textured Foil Memory Corridor: The 5 mythic rare cards with the memory corridor treatment also received textured foiling! Each has a background unique to the character (just check out how cool these look!), with textured foil exclusive to Collector Boosters.
• Borderless Cards: There are also 10 borderless cards in the set—8 mythic rares and 2 rares. These are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Beyond Boosters and Collector Boosters.
• Scene Cards: The 6-card Rome Vista scene portrays Ezio, Auditore La Firenze in an exclusive scene treatment overlooking the beautiful city of Rome. The 5 rare dual lands in the Rome Vista scene are exclusive to this scene and their mechanical equivalents are not found elsewhere. Rome Vista scene cards exclusively fall in the land slot, with non-foil in Beyond Boosters and traditional foil in Collector Boosters.
• Extended-Art Cards: There are 17 extended-art cards from the set—1 mythic rare and 16 rares—exclusively found in Collector Boosters.
• Foil-Etched Cards: The 95 foil-etched cards in the set—14 mythic rares, 32 rares, and 49 uncommons—are exclusive to Collector Boosters.
• Serialized Historical Figure Cards: There are 4 serialized double-rainbow foil historical figure cards available in Collector Boosters, each illustrating a prominent character from the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The serialized cards are printed in the language that each of the characters spoke: Leonardo da Vinci in Italian, Socrates and Cleopatra in Greek (with a cartouche in the flavor text for Cleopatra), and Mary Read and Anne Bonney in English.
• Beyond Boosters: Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed is non-draftable and unavailable on MTG Arena. Beyond Boosters tell a story through the booster-opening experience for each Universes Beyond property and contain up to 4 rares per booster obtained.
