You can find information about all of the official formats here, and both a quick-start guide and the comprehensive rules here. There are also tons of unofficial formats that are supported by communities both online and at your local gaming store.

fucking weird
A) Opening them like masterpieces, which would be fine as long as the normal versions are in the set
Also the art on some of these is really great. Like, here's the old art for Dark Depths, and here's the new art. Same scene, different angle!
Play Fanduel. One Day Fantasy Leagues use my referral
Be my friend on Magic Online! Dogbone19 is me.
Edit: The set will be priced at $335.76/box MSRP from your LGS, big box retailers will have 3 pack blisters for $34.99. Only full booster boxes come with the Ultimate Box Topper pack.
Karn Liberated was the last unknown box topper promo.
This the last Masters set "for a while."

I wish I cared about any of the supplemental stuff like Battlebond or Conspiracy.
I wish I still knew what it was like to experience fun.
I mean a product with a $335 MSRP was announced today so...
i know and i respect people who are frustrated that price of things go up
but also this is such a nakedly, transparently capitalist game that i struggle to raise my eyebrows at this particular product
like why would they not
Where are you looking at pricing? There are hardly any sold eBay listings since the box toppers were first opened on Friday one sold for $26 and another mint one was BIN'd for $41. MTG Goldfish's tracker doesn't show a sharp decline yet.
Edit: I bought 4 last month for between $36 and $40 for minty ones.
edit:looks like that one was re-listed for 32.99.
Talking to LGS in NZ, it's looking like that's going to translate to roughly ~$600 NZD per box (~1.25 PS4 consoles), and most are not looking at selling single boosters at this time, so I'm guessing uptake from retailers here is going to be limited.
This take burned off my eyebrows
Nope, 20 I guess. The last couple had 15 but I guess they upped it.
hope you enjoy going to the card store and spending three hundred dollars on 4 slices of teferi cardboard
the biggest LCG just died
granted it was licensing, but rip
