Masterpiece Series

Starting with the Kaladesh block, some sets include the Masterpiece Series. Wizards of the coast
has stated "the Masterpiece Series... began with Zendikar Expeditions".[233] They were
retroactively added with the announcement of Kaladesh Inventions.[233] Cards in the Masterpiece
Series appear at a higher rarity than Mythic Rares, and consist of either reprints, or cards from
the set whose packs they appear in. However, they are not considered part of that set, and instead
get their own expansion symbol; moreover, as with reprint sets (see below), printing in a
Masterpiece Series entry does not affect format legality. Note that entries in the Masterpiece
Series do not have expansion codes, except for Zendikar Expeditions, which has code "EXP".

The Guilds of Ravnica Mythic Edition is a package that is sold exclusively on Hasbro's website.
It contains 24 Guilds of Ravnica packs, 8 of which contain a predetermined Masterpiece card.

On January 10, 2019, the Ravnica Allegiance Mythic Edition was announced. Unlike the Guilds
of Ravnica version, the Ravnica Allegiance Mythic Edition will be sold on eBay and ship
globally. It contains 24 Ravnica Allegiance packs, 8 of which contain a predetermined
Masterpiece card.

The set codes listed below come from the 3-letter code printed on the card frames at the bottom.

Collector Booster Packs

Starting with the Ravnica Allegiance expansion, collector packs started. Wizards of the Coast
also had collector packs (premium packs) in Shards of Alara, but no sets after that until Ravnica
Allegiance. Collector packs in Throne of Eldraine consist of five to six foil commons, three to
four foil uncommons, three alternate art cards, one card from supplemental sets (from the Brawl
deck series or planeswalker deck exclusive cards), one rare or mythic rare, one extended art rare
or mythic rare, one foil rare or mythic rare, and a foil double faced token. Theros Beyond Death
collector boosters consist of four to five foil commons, two to three foil uncommons, two full art
foil basic lands, one card from supplemental sets (Theros Beyond Death planeswalker deck
exclusive cards), one rare or mythic rare, one foil rare or mythic rare, two alternate art
"Constellation" cards, and a foil double faced token.

Secret Lair

The Secret Lair Series is Wizard of the Coast's first full foray into selling single reprints directly
to players.

The first Secret Lair series all consisted of alternate art reprints. Wizards of the Coast was trying
to work with artists they usually didn't: street artists, comic book artists, album cover designers,
etc. Alternately, they used traditional Magic artists working with very non-traditional art briefs.
In some later series, original art was used in combination with alternate card frames.

With The Walking Dead series, the premise of only reprints with alternate art was abandoned.
Mark Heggen revealed that R&D views the Secret Lair platform as a product-testing grounds
platform that lets them try things they can't do in normal products. He acknowledged that it had
been art up to 2020, but that they had broadened the concept to speak to audiences of different
sizes. If they identify a small group that would be thrilled by a specific product, this could cater
to them: "like the game of Magic the Secret Lair will always try new things and evolve - the first
year focused on art which is the low hanging fruit" and "as we have new ideas and want to try
new things to make the game joyful for more people, Secret Lair is the place to do that
experimentation".

Even though the reaction among the fans was very negative, the Walking Dead was the best-
selling drop, luring buyers from outside of the Magic world. This prompted the company to keep
on experimenting in this realm and creating the Universes Beyond product line. "Universes
Within" is the popular name given to cards that are functional reprints of Universes Beyond
cards, made to fit within the lore of Magic: The Gathering.

Most cards are legal in the Vintage, Legacy and Commander formats.

Multiplayer-focused sets

Starting with Planechase in 2009, Wizards of the Coast has occasionally printed sets intended primarily
for multiplayer play, which do not necessarily consist entirely of reprints but are not legal in Standard; a
card printed in one of these is legal only in Eternal formats, and reprinting a card in one of these sets
does not affect when it leaves Standard. These sets usually consist of fixed decks.
