  "account": "Magic: The Gathering is set to introduce a new type of booster pack called \"God Packs.\" These packs, which will be available in both Play and Collector editions, will be filled entirely with rares and mythics. The chance of obtaining a God Pack is slim, with a 1 in 1,000 probability for Play Boosters and a 1 in 300 chance for Collector Boosters.\n\nGod Packs will come with a celebration card specific to the pack, along with 10 non-foil Rares and Mythics for Play Boosters. Collector Boosters, on the other hand, will include one foil land, 3 foil default frame rares and/or mythics, 3 non-foil Booster Fun variants, and 5 foil Booster Fun variants.\n\nIn addition to this new type of pack, Wizards of the Coast is also increasing the drop rates of foil rare and mythic rare cards in order to make opening booster packs more exciting. However, they are removing foil commons and uncommons from Play Boosters altogether and reducing the number of cards in Collector Boosters from 15 to 12.\n\nDespite these changes, Wizards claims that opening Collector Boosters will still be meaningful, despite the removal of commons and uncommons. They believe this change will make room for cards that players actually get excited about. These changes will come into effect with the release of Nauctis: The Sunken Realm and will continue to apply to all future in-universe sets. For sets in the Universes Beyond, these changes will start rolling out in 2028.",
  "summary": "Magic: The Gathering booster packs have gone through a lot of changes in the last decade, some of which have been awful. But Wizards of the Coast are introducing 'God Packs' to MTG, which could feel like winning the lottery.",
