Lets see what you can find in March of the Machine set boosters as an example: 1 Multiverse Legends card At least 1 battle card 1 traditional foil/foil-etched card of any rarity including Multiverse Legends in traditional foil and the foil-etched treatment 2 wildcards of any rarity (opportunity to open MOM Commander cards, Jumpstart booster rares, or Multiverse Legends) 1 basic land/full-art harbinger basic land in traditional foil or non-foil 1 double-faced Phyrexian common/uncommon 2 connected uncommons 2 connected commons 1 art card 1 token/ad card, double-faced Helper card, or The List card Id look for old set boosters if Limited play isnt your jam and youre buying cards to increase your collection
