# Ultimate Box Topper Overview Ultimate Box Topper was a 40-card promotional set released by Wizards of the Coast in 2018 as premium inclusions in Ultimate Masters booster boxes. The set represented a significant shift in Magic's premium product strategy, offering serialized versions of cards already in circulation rather than entirely new designs. The collection featured mechanically unique cards spanning Magic's history, with particular emphasis on powerful utility spells and creatures that had proven format staples. These cards were printed with special foiling treatments and serialization, making them distinct from standard printings and appealing to collectors seeking premium versions of established powerhouses. The set's significance lies in establishing the box topper model as a viable revenue stream for Wizards, encouraging secondary market engagement among serious collectors. The serialization created artificial scarcity and collectibility tiers, influencing how subsequent premium products would be structured. Ultimate Box Topper demonstrated collector appetite for premium treatments of already-legal cards, shaping Magic's product design philosophy for years following its release.
