We got quite a few spoilers yesterday for the upcoming MTG set, Theros: Beyond Death. These cards are going to be a little different in how you acquire them. For paper MTG these cards will only be available in "Theme" Boosters and it is unknown how they will appear in MTG Arena. With all the different boosters available for MTG it's sometimes hard to understand the differences. I'll try to explain it below.
(the pack descriptions below apply to paper MTG)
Draft Booster: This is a 15-card pack with typical distribution.
Theme Booster: This is a 30-card pack for a specific color and will contain unique rares (like the spoilers shown below).
Collector Booster: This is a more expensive 15-card pack that contains foil and special or alternate art cards.
Since MTG Arena does not have Theme Boosters like paper MTG, it's very likely there will be other ways to acquire these cards (Wildcards, MTGA Store, or special events).
Are there any of these cards you're determined to collect or do you think they're mostly worthless for standard? Share your thoughts below!

These cards look pretty interesting. They all have insane potential to do some crazy things but I think the main problem with most of them is that they are just slow.
I am going to experiment with them because I am a timmy player and I get excited about interesting-but-sort-of-bad cards. I know that I will at least want to get that mill 10 guy for my graveyard recursion deck.
Yes, they are a little expensive. I think most of them could have potential for some "let's have fun" decks, but nothing jumps out as a must-have (especially for standard).
Oh wow! Some of these cards look like they can get very much out of hand.
I think these cards can be fun but I think you would be grasping at a deck too gimmicky to try to properly use any of these.
That being said I'm buying deathbellow warcry because that card is stupid silly in older formats.
