MTG Booster Packs
A booster pack is a sealed pack of random cards. This page lists each MTG booster pack, for collectors who want a single pack rather than a whole box. The range runs from the Alpha and Arabian Nights boosters of 1993 to Play Boosters for The Hobbit and Reality Fracture.

FAQ
The pack name tells you the family. Recent sets come as Play Boosters, like the Reality Fracture Play Booster, while Collector Boosters have their own page. Around them you will find Sleeved Boosters (Secrets of Strixhaven, Lorwyn Eclipsed), Jumpstart boosters for Marvel Super Heroes, Prerelease Boosters for Avatar: The Last Airbender, and one-colour Theme Boosters for Throne of Eldraine.
Older sets use Draft Booster or plain Booster Pack names.
Booster packs are listed from the first sets, Limited Edition Alpha, Beta, Unlimited and Arabian Nights in 1993 and Antiquities in 1994, to sets released in 2026 such as The Hobbit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek. The Hobbit also has a Box Topper Booster, a separate pack from its Play Booster.
One pack holds cards of one set, so the set name on the wrapper is what you will open.
First the language, printed on the wrapper: recent packs such as the Lorwyn Eclipsed Booster Pack are listed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese, while the Star Trek Play Booster Pack is English only. Then the exact type, since a Sleeved Booster, a Play Booster and a Booster Pack Foil Rare/Mythic from the same set are different products.
For old packs like Beta or Antiquities, ask for clear photos of the wrapper and its seams.
A single pack is the smallest way to try a set or add a few cards. If you plan to open many packs of one set, a Magic booster box such as the Foundations Play Booster Box groups them in one sealed box, and a bundle adds accessories to a smaller number of packs.
For one specific card, buying it on its own is more certain than opening packs.
