Inside this selection, you will find a variety of rare and mythic rare cards that define the mechanics of the set. From powerful modal double-faced cards to creatures featuring the landfall and party mechanics, the prerelease versions provide a premium aesthetic. Collectors often hunt for specific date-stamped cards to complete their master sets, as these specific printings are only available through prerelease packs distributed during the event cycle.

If you are a collector, you may want to focus on the most impactful mythics or the legendary creatures that represent the lore of Zendikar.
