The final Standard Set of 2022 travels back in time to showcase the battle between Mishra and Urza, which originally played out in 1994's Antiquities expansion. This set's theme offers yet another nod to Magic's rich history and storytelling, much like Dominaria United did (see "Lost 'Magic: The Gathering' 'Legends'"), and gives players a chance to command the giant robots and war machines the brothers wrecked Dominaria's landscape with back in its early history.

As far as product format changes go, there are a few tweaks, here and there, to the pack formats, but nothing too far outside of bounds of what has been done before. Jumpstart displays seem to have become a permanent fixture for Standard set, replacing the less purchased Theme Boosters. One point of note is that Collector Packs feature a special mythic rare and five cards with a rarity of rare or higher, instead of just five to six randomized cards of rarity of rare or higher. This essentially means that all Collector Boosters will have at least one mythic rare in them, which is a clear opening experience improvement over cracking a more expensive Collector Booster pack and getting zero mythic rares.  

The product line for this set is as follows:

The Brothers' War Collector Booster Packs and Displays. The Collector Boosters are loaded up with rares, foils, and special treatment cards. Each pack contains 15 cards and a foil token, and features one special mythic rare and five cards with a rarity of rare or higher. These packs come with a total of 10 to 11 foil cards.
