wow, in practice the changes to Limited might not be very big with this new type of booster, but in the history of MtG this is a humongous change. For the first time since 1993 Draft boosters will have 14 playable cards instead of 15. This changes the fabric of MtG. I feel that in the long run this is a very good shift, all of the problems highlighted in the article are very real, and it seems like they’ve addressed them well with the Play Booster. Fascinating stuff, I can’t wait to hear the Limited podcasts analysing how this changes the game.

the big negative point is, of course, that this is a sneaky increase in booster cost, a quite significant one at that.

We currently get 14 spells + 1 land in a draft booster. Play boosters will be 13 spells + land.
@ech I would have sworn the token had replaced a card, but apparently I’m mistaken.
