Magic: The Gathering - The Dark Booster Pack
About Magic: The Gathering The Dark booster pack
The Magic: The Gathering The Dark booster pack is an original, factory-sealed vintage product from Wizards of the Coast, released on August 8, 1994 as the fourth official Magic expansion (set code DRK). This 8-card booster represents a notable period in Magic's history, when the game's design and themes took new directions. For collectors and enthusiasts of early Magic products, The Dark is a sought-after release, valued both for its authenticity and for its significance in Magic: The Gathering's formative years.
Contents and card pool
Each Magic: The Gathering The Dark booster pack contains 8 cards: 6 commons and 2 cards from the so-called uncommon sheet. It's important to note that The Dark uses a historical rarity system, where the uncommon sheet also includes cards that were later classified as rares. The overall booster card pool consists of 119 unique cards, and there are no foil, showcase, or wildcard cards in this release. The contents of each booster are randomized, so it is not possible to guarantee specific cards in a given pack.
Special themes and iconic cards
The Dark is known for its dark and experimental themes, including graveyard interaction, sacrifice mechanics, goblin tribal, and color-based "hosing" effects. The set features several cards that have achieved special status among collectors and Magic historians:
- Maze of Ith
- Blood Moon
- Ball Lightning
- Tormod's Crypt
- Fellwar Stone
- Elves of Deep Shadow
- Dust to Dust
- Eater of the Dead
- Goblins of the Flarg
- Sorrow's Path
These cards are documented in the booster pool, but which cards appear in any individual booster cannot be predicted.
