Wizards of the Coast announces a new Magic: The Gathering Masters-style set fittingly called Double Masters following Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and Commander 2020, which released not too long ago. This is the first Masters set in some time, is set to release on August 7, and focuses on the theme of "doubling." Magic Arena will get the content online on August 6 for $6.99 per booster.

Magic: The Gathering's Double Master set will have 332 cards on it in fifteen card packs, but each pack will have two rare slots and two foil slots. Continuing this theme, boxes of Double Masters will also contain two Box Toppers.

While August 7 is at the end of summer and it's not really begun yet, fans may be glad to know that a preview of the entire Magic the Gathering set is planned for mid-July. Those hoping this will contain fetch lands may be disappointed, however, as those are not contained in this set.

Wizards of the Coast stated that it "promise[s] there is" a set coming later this year that will contain fetch lands, but Double Master just isn't it.

Magic: The Gathering is available now either in physical format or online through Magic Arena on PC.
