Magic: The Gathering – The Hobbit Play Booster Box (30 Packs)

Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit (set code: HOB) Play Booster Box is a 30-pack sealed box from Wizards of the Coast's Universes Beyond return to Middle-earth, released worldwide on August 14, 2026. The set adapts Tolkien's The Hobbit, following Bilbo Baggins, Thorin's Company, and the road to the Lonely Mountain.

The headline chase — the gleaming gold Smaug the Magnificent, with only about 500 copies worldwide — is a Collector Booster exclusive, but Play Boosters still carry a genuine shot at premium pulls: every pack includes a wildcard slot (any rarity, including the set's Booster Fun treatments) alongside a guaranteed rare or mythic and a traditional foil card, plus 40 Middle-earth classic artist cards revisiting The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth artwork that can surface across the set.

For players, Play Boosters are the set's standard limited and constructed product — the best way to draft, build a Sealed pool, or simply crack packs for playable cards. The set is legal across all formats, with an Eternal-legal HOC card pool represented in the Booster Fun slots.

Box contents: 30 Play Boosters, each with 14 cards — 7 commons, 3 uncommons, 1 wildcard (any rarity), 1 rare or mythic rare, 1 traditional foil card and 1 land, plus 1 non-foil double-sided token per pack — and 1 Box Topper containing a traditional foil Middle-earth classic artist card. Language: English. Publisher: Wizards of the Coast. Condition: Factory sealed.

Ideal for Magic players wanting the full draft or Sealed experience with The Hobbit, and collectors building a Middle-earth card pool without committing to Collector Booster prices.
