There are two x2 available as of 10/27/24 Set Details (from Wiki):Set details School map“ Choose Excellence ”Strixhaven: School of Mages is a bottom-up enemy color faction set based on “instants and spells matter”.[7] Creatively, the design of this set is Magic’s take on the magical school genre.[8][1] Each one of the featured colleges represents one of Magic’s enemy color combinations, with their character and mechanics.[9] Cards associated with the different colleges feature separate watermarked insignias. This set contains 275 regular cards (105 commons, 80 uncommons, 69 rares, 21 mythic rares) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The basic lands are numbered outside the main set and therefore don't appear in the draft boosters.Alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. Borderless planeswalkers are numbered #276-279, borderless elder dragons are #280-284, and extended artwork cards are numbered #285-365. Basic lands are #366-375. The Buy-a-Box card is #376 and the Bundle promo is #377. The FNM-treatment cards from the Universal promo pack are numbered #378-382. There are no showcase cards in this set, as the Mystical Archive fills that position.This set introduces the term mana value as a wording change for converted mana cost. Also, "shuffle your library" is shortened to shuffle, and "activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery" is shortened to "activate only as a sorcery."MarketingBundle with Rowan and Will Kenrith key artStrixhaven promotional scarvesStrixhaven: School of Mages is sold in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (one card being a marketing card). A Mystical Archive card appears as a bonus card in each Draft Booster. These Mystical Archive cards don't replace another card of the same rarity in a pack. So you can get multiple rare cards in a draft booster.In addition, the product line includes five bi-colored Theme Boosters, Collector Boosters (including three Mystical Archive cards, one certified Japanese version), Set Boosters (with a Mystical Archive card and a Lesson card), the Strixhaven: School of Mages bundle and five Commander decks.[11][12]The packaging of Strixhaven: School of Mages features key art of Will and Rowan Kenrith. The Draft Boosters feature artwork of Killian Lu, Rootha Squallheart, Dina, Quintorius Kand and Zimone Wola. The Theme Boosters feature art from Clever Lumimancer (), Spectacle Mage (), Professor of Zoomancy (), Lorehold Apprentice (), and Quandrix Apprentice (). The Collector Boosters feature the art of the Mystical Archive Memory Lapse and the Set Boosters feature original art of the battle between the Strixhaven residents and the Oriq.With the release of Strixhaven, 55 cards were rotated into The List, many of which were thematically or mechanically linked to the set. In 5% of the Set Boosters, the marketing card is replaced by a minigame card.Mystical ArchiveMystical Archive is a separate set of cards associated with Strixhaven: School of Mages. It is similar to the Masterpiece Series but the cards appear more frequently in the boosters of the main set. In Mystical Archive, Wizards of the Coasts has reprinted 63 of the most famous instants and sorceries of all time in specially designed showcase frames and at all rarities. Strixhaven Draft and Set Boosters contain one Mystical Archive card, and Collector Boosters have at least three. These will only be legal in formats that they are already legal in. They are not part of the Standard environment. However, the cards may be used in Limited events.Tokens and emblemsThe sixteenth card in the boosters is a token creature card or an emblem, with advertisements on the backside. It can also be a helper card with a standard card back. There are a total of nine tokens and emblems:[17] 3/6 Avatar creature with haste and "Whenever this creature attacks, it deals 3 damage to each opponent," for Awaken the Blood Avatar. 4/4 Elemental creature, for Elemental Expressionist, Elemental Masterpiece, Elemental Summoning, Magma Opus, Mascot Exhibition, Multiple Choice, Resculpt, and Will, Scholar of Frost. 0/0 Fractal creature, for Emergent Sequence, Fractal Summoning, Kasmina, Enigma Sage, Kianne, Dean of Substance, Leyline Invocation, Manifestation Sage, Biomathematician, Body of Research, and Serpentine Curve. 2/1 Inkling creature with flying, for Blot Out the Sky, Dramatic Finale, Inkling Summoning, Mascot Exhibition, Shadrix Silverquill, and Umbral Juke. 1/1 Pest creature with "When this creature dies, you gain 1 life," for Beledros Witherbloom, Callous Bloodmage, Containment Breach, Hunt for Specimens, Pest Summoning, Pestilent Cauldron, Professor of Zoomancy, Sedgemoor Witch, Tend the Pests, and Valentin, Dean of the Vein. 3/2 Spirit creature, for Illuminate History, Illustrious Historian, Lorehold Command, Lorehold Excavation, Make Your Mark, Mascot Exhibition, Quintorius, Field Historian, Reduce to Memory, and Spirit Summoning.

For Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim and Strixhaven that is modal double-faced cards.[18][19][20] Unlike the other two sets, there is no hard rule as to the nature of the MDFCs. This is the first time sorceries and instants were printed on the back face of a DFC.Strixhaven is the first set centered on an "instants and spells matters" theme.[1] It is designed around five enemy color pairs, which despite the many years of Magic has not been done before as a large expansion - Apocalypse, the other enemy color set, was drafted as a counterpart at the tail end of Invasion block, and likewise with Eventide and the Shadowmoor block. Unlike the Ravnican guilds, the Strixhaven colleges aren’t built around the similarities of the two colors, but rather around their conflict.[21]A new mechanic is Magecraft, an ability word that causes an effect whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.[22] Another new mechanic is Learn (You may reveal a Lesson card you own from outside the game and put it into your hand, or discard a card to draw a card.). Both of these tie into the higher "spells matter" gameplay, which was previously limited to blue and red.Ward is a new evergreen keyword. Whenever a permanent with ward becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays an additional cost.[23]Strixhaven also has a creature token theme in the form of mascots for the colleges.[24]Card typesThe Set introduces the Inkling and Fractal creature types and the Lesson spell type. Pests appear for the first time outside of Mirrodin. Spirit and Elemental round out the token mascot quintet.Compared to Kaldheim and Zendikar Rising, there are fewer Rogues and Warriors for the Party. Instead, the three other major spellcaster classes (Shaman, Druid, Warlock) return, joining the Party's Wizard and Cleric. There are more than twice the amount of Warlocks in this set as there are in Magic's history. The specially-reserved subtype Elder, last seen in Theros Beyond Death, returns for the Founder Dragon cycle.Food tokens return in the associated Commander product. They are made by Chef Gyome.[25]Rarity shiftsCommon to UncommonAdventurous Impulse (IKO)Defiant Strike (M21)Duress (M21)Infuriate (M21)Negate (ZNR)Opt (M21)Revitalize (KHM)Shock (M21)Snakeskin Veil (KHM)Strategic Planning (KHM)Thrill of Possibility (M21)Village Rites (KHM)Common to RareBrainstorm (2XM)Counterspell (CMR)Dark Ritual (A25)Ephemerate (MH1)Faithless Looting (UMA)Grapeshot (TSR)Growth Spiral (RNA)Mana Tithe (TSR)Memory Lapse (EMA)Sign in Blood (MM2)Stone Rain (9ED)Weather the Storm (MH1)Uncommon to RareCompulsive Research (CMR)Despark (WAR)Doom Blade (IMA)Electrolyze (IMA)Gift of Estates (9ED)Gods Willing (M20)Harmonize (TSR)Inquisition of Kozilek (MM3)Krosan Grip (TSR)Lightning Bolt (A25)Lightning Helix (IMA)Putrefy (MM3)Regrowth (MH1)Swords to Plowshares (CMR)Tendrils of Agony (SCG)Tezzeret's Gambit (MM2)Urza's Rage (MH1)Rare to MythicApproach of the Second Sun (AKH)Day of Judgment (M12)Teferi's Protection (C17)Blue Sun's Zenith (MRB)Mind's Desire (SCG)Crux of Fate (FRF)Demonic Tutor (UMA)Tainted Pact (ODY)Chaos Warp (C20)Increasing Vengeance (DKA)Mizzix's Mastery (C15)Primal Command (MM3)
