Long before Alpha reached store shelves, it passed through printers, scissors, tables, and hands. The earliest playtest cards were rough by necessity, using simple layouts, borrowed images, and doodles so Magic could become what it is today. The Zeta Set takes us all the way back to that time, turning public domain artwork, original photography, and photocopied treatments into a tribute to the handmade ingenuity behind those first playtests.

Created alongside the brilliant minds at MSCHF, each sealed Zeta Booster turns that early playtest inspiration into a randomized pack of seven cards from a pool of 121. You’ll find Commons, Uncommons, Rares, and Mythics, spanning early icons and modern favorites, and three print treatments in the mix: classic Photocopy, inverted Photocopy Negative, and Color Banding for those special moments when the printer contributes its own artistic direction.

Alpha. Beta. Gamma. Delta. Epsilon. Zeta. Don’t worry about what happened in between.
