It might not be one of the major tentpole releases of Magic: The Gathering’s calendar, but Double Masters 2022 is certainly one of the most interesting sets to come out of this year. If 2020’s original set is anything to go by, we can expect lots of high-value cards and staples in numerous formats to make diving in to this luxury set worthwhile.

We don’t know exactly which cards are coming in Double Masters 2022 yet, (though we do have some requests) which is where the preview season comes in. Kicking off this week, all the secrets and surprises of this reprint set will be revealed. Here is everything you need to know about Double Masters 2022’s preview season, including when it starts, and how they’re arranged behind-the-scenes.
Preview seasons are how Magic: The Gathering unveils a new set ahead of its release. Instead of dropping every card all at once, Wizards of the Coast instead drip-feeds the reveal over approximately a week.
Each season starts with a debut stream. For larger sets, this is usually a highly-scripted, themed event, such as the ones we saw for Streets of New Capenna or Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. However, for smaller ones like Double Masters 2022 and Commander Legends: Battle For Baldur’s Gate, it tends to be a more low-key affair tying in with the Weekly MTG streams hosted by Magic’s senior communications manager Blake Rasmussen.
The debut is the first time we see a substantial number of cards from a set, and it kicks off the week of individual card reveals. Community members, stores, and various official MTG channels all take turns showing off one or two cards from the set to keep interest in the set going for as long as possible.
