As Harry was exploring his new surroundings, he discovered an old chest in the attic. The chest was covered in dust, and curiosity got the better of him. Opening the chest, Harry found an assortment of trinkets and objects. Among them was a peculiar-looking pen.

What’s in an MTG Mystery Booster? Is it Worth Buying?
In the before times (2019 to be precise), WotC began whetting our appetites with a brand-new product that was simply called “Mystery Booster.” With no hints, no artwork to tease the set or anything else, the Magic community was baffled as to what exactly Mystery Boosters could be.
Would it be an entirely new product? Was it just the codename for a new Masters-style set? Would it even contain actual MTG cards? Well, a few months later at MagicFest Richmond (remember when that was a thing?), we got our answer! It turns out that Mystery Boosters were… well, all of the above.
Mystery Booster is a product designed to provide an experience reminiscent of Cube or Chaos Draft, but out of a regular booster product. Although mostly designed to be a convention-only product available to draft at MagicFest and other similar events, the packs were actually printed in two versions: Convention Edition and Store Edition. There’s only a small difference between the two editions, but we’ll cover that later.
For now, let’s explore the Mystery Booster and what it contains. What is it like to draft, and is it worth buying when it comes back to your LGS? Let’s talk about that.
