About the Set

The Jurassic World set contains 20 mechanically unique cards found in collector boosters and set boosters of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. The crossover is similar to the Transformers cards that were released alongside The Brothers’ War.
Set Mechanics
While the cards are mechanically unique, only one mechanic is unique to The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and that is discover. Several returning mechanics do show up on the Jurassic World cards.

Wrap Up

Universes Beyond has united Magic with pop culture in a way we’ve never seen before. The ability to play with cards from some of our other favorite franchises, like Transformers and The Lord of the Rings, helps unite levels of fandom and create new entry points for players to join us in one of the best games ever.
It makes perfect sense that the Jurassic World insert set came out alongside The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, this brought some classic dinosaurs together with the plane that introduced the creature type to the game.
