# Ultimate Masters Overview Ultimate Masters was released in December 2018 as Magic: The Gathering's final core set in the traditional Masters format. The 254-card set marked a deliberate conclusion to the annual supplemental reprint strategy that had dominated the secondary market for over a decade. Wizards of the Coast designed the set to provide affordable access to staple cards across multiple formats while clearing inventory before shifting toward different product models. The set drew from Magic's entire history, emphasizing cards with sustained competitive and casual demand. Notable inclusions featured powerful limited commons and uncommons alongside format staples, making draft environments competitive and constructed decks accessible. The set's composition reflected lessons learned from previous Masters iterations, balancing limited play patterns with reprint value. Ultimate Masters' significance lies primarily in its closure of an era. It represented the final opportunity for Wizards to execute traditional Masters set mechanics before pivoting toward specialized products like Modern Horizons and focused reprint vehicles. For collectors, it captures a transitional moment in Magic's commercial strategy.
