Magic the Gathering: The Hobbit Play Booster

Magic the Gathering The Hobbit Play Booster (HOB)

Magic the Gathering The Hobbit Play Booster is a sealed booster pack from Wizards of the Coast, designed for both collectors and players who want to explore the Middle-earth universe through Magic’s Universes Beyond series. This product is officially tied to The Hobbit set with the set code HOB, and the booster’s content and composition make it ideal for Draft, Sealed, and collecting.

Contents of a The Hobbit Play Booster

Each Play Booster contains a total of 14 Magic cards plus a non-foil double-sided token/helper card. The distribution of card types and rarities is carefully tuned for Limited play and collector interest:

• 7 Commons
• 3 Uncommons
• 1 Wildcard (can be of any rarity)
• 1 Rare or Mythic Rare
• 1 Traditional foil (can be of any rarity)
• 1 Land card (in 20% of boosters this is a traditional foil land)
• 1 Token/helper card (non-playable card, double-sided, non-foil)

All cards in this booster come from the HOB card pool 1–248, ensuring a broad selection and collector potential.

Draft, Sealed and collector appeal

The Hobbit Play Booster is designed to support both Draft and Sealed Limited formats, making it a great choice for events or casual play with friends. At the same time, the booster offers several special card treatments that appeal to collectors, including Book Cover Frame, Dragon Hoard Frame and the atmospheric Middle-earth Journey basic lands. The chance to pull traditional foil cards — and especially foil lands in 20% of boosters — adds extra value for both players and collectors.

Universes Beyond: Middle-earth in Magic

This set is part of the Universes Beyond series, where Magic the Gathering collaborates with iconic fantasy universes. The Hobbit set brings Middle-earth to life through unique cards, artwork and frames not found in other Magic releases. There are no Special Guest or Bonus Sheet cards in this series, which keeps the focus firmly on the Hobbit theme.
