FEATURES

Spotlight Variants and Series 3 cards added to the Cards Shop.

Since the removal of the Spotlight Cache feature, we’ve been trying to find a home for Spotlight variants. Going forward, you will find Spotlight Variants in rotation in the Daily Cards section of Cards Shop alongside Ultimate Variants.
Additionally, we’ve added individual Series 3 cards alongside Series 4 and Series 5 to the Daily Cards section.

Two new Featured Sets in the Cards Shop are releasing later this season:

Season Infinite Bundle

Season Pass Complete Bundles

New Card Exclusive Variant

A featured Variant for the newest Series 5 card of the week
Only available for players who have acquired the new card within 7 days of its launch
Price: $9.99 to $19.99 (Higher priced bundles will include an additional Boosters, and the $19.99 sku will also include 1 Premium Mystery Border)
The exclusive Variant will become widely available in the future. That timeframe has not been determined yet.

Top 5000

Only available for players who reach Top 5000 in post-infinite, ranked play during a season.
Will include 4 White Fire Card Borders (Borders are launching exclusive to this bundle)
Purchasable once per season
Price: $19.99 USD (will vary based on your region)

Snap Pack Bundles

These bundles will be available for new or low Collection Level players. They’ll become available for players at the following CL levels: 214 (End of Series 1), 486 (End of Series 2), or Collection Level 1000.
The bundles are not retroactive for players who are already beyond those milestones.
Pricing will vary.
