These cards are normally printed on one print sheet. Usually 50 to 75 cards are being swapped out for others that better fit a new set's themes. Some of the cards in "The List" will change from set to set, but the main core will remain intact. The cards can be pulled from anywhere in Magic's history. They are legal in whatever formats the cards are already legal in. Being on "The List" does not make cards Standard-legal. "The List" has commons, uncommons, rares, and mythic rares which will fall at the proper rate to one another.

A number of cards in "The List" (15 as of Strixhaven's release) use the same artwork as cards of the same name in "Mystery Booster", making those cards from the two sets nearly indistinguishable from each other. As with Mystery Booster the cards are supposed to be "pick-ups", meaning that they will be printed as they previously appeared (including art, card frame, expansion symbol and collector number) with the exception that they'll have a small planeswalker symbol in their lower-left corner. And at double the price of a regular booster, I (Midnight) hunted down one pack out of curiosity and (Crimson) vowed never to again.Starting with Zendikar Rising, the cards of "The List" can be found 25% of the time in Set Boosters instead of a marketing card. Sometimes it was washed out, other times it was pitch black. The black and filter looked awful too, as much of the art wasn’t designed with it in mind. Instead, we had the entirety of both thrown together, meaning you had double the chance of pulling shared commons like Evolving Wilds. It could’ve combined the best of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow into a single draft environment, given them new, movie-inspired art to go with that black-and-white aesthetic, and thrown in some reprints of older favourites. Innistrad: Double Feature was such a missed opportunity. I didn’t rate the two Innistrad sets too highly last year, so what better way to kick off the year than smashing them together in a single draft set with an ugly-as-hell monochromatic filter plastered on every card? The first release of 2022 was also by far its worst. Innistrad: Double Feature Key Art via Wizards of the Coast
