Parallels To Paper Magic
All cards that enter circulation originate from sealed booster packs or other products; on Magic Online, these packs are represented as digital objects tied to a player's account. Virtual packs are purchased from within the client at MSRP. Once purchased, packs may be opened, traded, or used as entry materials for events.
Foil cards are available online. They are distinguished in their virtual form by a glossier appearance and an intermittent "shiny" animation.
"Deck Editor" and "Collection" interfaces exist to allow players to build Constructed decks or browse their collections.
