Revision as of 10:15, 6 April 2015

A fat pack is a special Magic product from WOTC, consisting of several of their products. The fat pack is useful to both beginners and thorough collectors.

Fat packs were first introduced with Mercadian Masques. There has been a fat pack for every expansion and Core Set since.

History

Fat packs originally had a MSRP of U.S. $24.95. They contained three booster packs, a tournament pack, two premium cards, a visual guide of the set and a novel. For small sets, the tourmament pack was exchanged for three extra boosters.

Ninth Edition

Starting with Ninth Edition, fat packs were redesigned with a cardboard piece surrounding two boxes. This cardboard piece could be unglued from itself and inside was a panorama artpiece. [1] Six color-coded plastic card dividers were added to keep the cards separated in the card boxes. The two premium cards were removed and a 40-card land pack was added. [2]

Ravnica: City of Guilds

Starting with Ravnica: City of Guilds, the visual card encyclopedia in the back of the player's guide was changed from completely alphabetical to by color then alphabetical within each color. [3]

Shadowmoor

Starting with Shadowmoor, the fat pack was resdesigned so that the panorama artpiece surrounded just one card box (disposable cardboard inserts allowed it to contain the contents, once the inserts and contents were removed the card box is the same size as previous card boxes). The artpiece is 2¼" smaller in unwrapped length. The color-coded card dividers were removed. The number of boosters increased from 6 to 8.

Shards of Alara

Starting with Shards of Alara, the fat pack's content was changed replacing the novel with a brief introduction of the expansion's respective novel or Planeswalker's Guide. The Pro Tour Player card was removed.

Mirrodin Besieged

In the Mirrodin Besieged, the fat pack's content was changed removing the brief introduction of the expansion's respective novel. The amount of boosters increased from 8 to 9 and the land pack now contained 80 lands. Two deck boxes were added.

Innistrad and Dark Ascension

The first two sets of the Innistrad block exchanged 10 basic land for 10 checklist cards.

After the demise of the core sets

After 2015, fat packs (as well as intro packs and Deck Builder's Toolkits) will be refigured to accommodate starter level players. [4]

Contents

Below is a list of the fat packs and their variable contents. In addition to the listed contents, most fat packs contain a rules - or "Learn-to-Play" insert and all of them contain a player's guide with a complete visual encyclopedia of the set. Spindown life counters often come in five different colors.
