Magic: The Gathering's latest set War of the Spark was just released on Magic Arena today. The planeswalker-loaded set will feature 36 new planeswalker cards but contrary to the booster packs for the actual cards, the digital version of the boosters are not guaranteed a planeswalker card in every pack.
Over on Twitter, Magic Arena Digital Product Manager Lee Sharpe clarified that the packs that you can buy or win as prizes (8 cards per booster) are not guaranteed a planeswalker but the limited packs (the boosters that you draft or use for sealed) will have a guaranteed planeswalker for every pack.
Some players are surprised by this, especially those who pre-ordered the 50-pack War of the Spark bundle and expected a planeswalker in every pack.
The War of the Spark card set will be released on May 3, 2019. Prerelease events will take place on April 27-28. It's now available on Magic Arena.
