Magic: The Gathering - Assassin’s Creed Beyond Booster Box
Enough packs to Leap of Faith into
Beyond Boosters are a new type of pack you can only get in Universes Beyond products. These packs each tell a story, with the Assassin’s Creed ones depicting the various assassins you play as from across all eras of history.

You might have noticed that there are only seven cards in this pack, eight if you include the token, and that’s because they are intentionally designed to be smaller, thus making them undraftable.
