With the release of Dominaria United, 75 cards were rotated into The List, many of which were thematically or mechanically linked to the set. The List-cards can be found in the Set Boosters.
Jumpstart [ | ]
With this set, Wizards introduces set-related Jumpstart Boosters, replacing the Theme Boosters.

Main article: Dominaria United/JumpstartBox Toppers [ | ]
Main article: Dominaria United/Box ToppersDominaria United features a series of 20 box topper promos, referred to as "Legends Retold". These are 20 beefed up versions of legendary creatures from Legends. [6] [16] [18]
Lost Legends [ | ]
In selected collector boosters, an original card from Legends, found in an old warehouse, was included. [19] [16] [18] These "Lost Legends" appear in 3% of boosters, and not every card from Legends was included. Some cards were missing because of the well-known Legends collation problems, some because Wizards of the Coast doesn't want to be associated with a certain artist anymore, and some because the depictions or flavor texts are nowadays considered to be culturally offensive. Because original cards are used, their distribution doesn't violate the Reserved List.

Reviews for "Harnessing the Power of Planeswalkers in Dominaria United"
1. John - 2/5
I found Magic Arena Dominaria United to be quite underwhelming. The gameplay felt slow and lacked excitement. The graphics were decent, but the overall design felt uninspiring. I also experienced frequent lagging and crashes during my playtime, which made the whole experience frustrating. Overall, I was disappointed with this game and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 3/5
Magic Arena Dominaria United had high expectations, but it didn't meet them for me. The game felt too repetitive, and the card collection system was frustrating. It took a significant amount of time and effort to acquire new cards, and when I finally did, I found that they didn't significantly enhance my gameplay. Additionally, the tutorial was lacking, and as a beginner, I struggled to understand the mechanics. While the concept of the game is interesting, it fell short in execution.
3. Mike - 2/5
I was not impressed with Magic Arena Dominaria United. The game felt unbalanced, with certain card combinations being overpowered and making matches feel unfair. The matchmaking system also seemed flawed, often pitting me against opponents with much stronger decks. Furthermore, I found the microtransactions to be too expensive, making it difficult to progress without spending real money. Overall, the game left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't recommend it to serious players looking for a strategic and fair gameplay experience.
