Introducing Planeswalker Decks & Bundle
"With the release of the fall set, Kaladesh, on September 30, 2016, we'll be introducing two new product types to Magic: The Gathering.
Planeswalker Decks will serve as a new introductory product, providing a more thematically resonant experience and exciting new Standard legal Planeswalkers not found anywhere else.
We'll also introduce the Bundle. The Bundle offers the same features as a Fat Pack for engaged Magic players plus an additional booster, but the new name more accurately reflects the type of content it offers.
Planeswalker Decks
Planeswalker Decks are designed as the best first purchase for a new player, after they've learned the basics of the game—either through Welcome Decks or Magic Duels—but its features are meant to appeal to experienced players as well.
Beginning with Kaladesh in September 2016, every Magic set will offer two Planeswalker Decks (available in all eleven languages), each built and highly themed around a Planeswalker character relevant to the current block.
Each preconstructed 60-card deck will include:
1 copy of a mythic rare Planeswalker
2 copies of a rare spell that can help find and play the Planeswalker card
And many more cards that benefit from—and synergize with—the Planeswalker card
These decks will generally be two colors, will play into the mechanical themes of the block, often making use of new keyword mechanics, and will be Standard legal.
Two booster packs from the associated block will also be packaged with each deck.
Planeswalker Decks will be available for Open Dueling, beginning with Kaladesh Prerelease, and will provide a similar experience as Intro Pack Wars for new player events.
Eldritch Moon will be the last set that includes Intro Packs.
