Prerelease is February 2, full release Feb 9
Magic: the Gathering Murders at Karlov Manor has Murder! Mystery! Magic! A string of alarming murders streaks across the plane of Ravnica, and your players will step into the shoes of Ravnica’s greatest detectives to track the clues and crack the case. Will they uncover the mastermind before it’s too late?
If solving one case isn’t enough for you, there are even more puzzles to be solved, woven into the Murders at Karlov Manor products. Put your detective skills to the test!
What’s new – play boosters
Draft and Set boosters are gone, replaced with “Play Boosters” or just “boosters” if you prefer. This new product is coalited for draft, like a draft booster, but contains more chances for rares, like a Set booster. All pre-release kits, bundles and boxes (except Collector boxes) will now contain this new booster.
