Some IP's have room for a fully draftable set. Sets like Warhammer 40,000 Commander Decks, Doctor Who and Fallout are given the Commander treatment, with the main focus on several Commander decks.

When this type a set reappeared with Jurassic World, they were christened 'Booster inserts'. Note that these are original designs, and not skinned cards. Transformers cards could be found in The Brothers' War Set Boosters, Collector Booster and Bundles. In 2022, for the first time ever, some Universes Beyond cards were distributed through a premier set, advertising another Hasbro brand. This came true in October 2021, when Wizards of the Coast decided that they would apply this to The Walking Dead as well. However, implementing something similar to this with The Walking Dead wasn’t off the table in the future. Neither did they plan to extend this treatment extend to the larger, non-Secret Lair, product releases. WotC initially did not plan to go back and do this for the cards from The Walking Dead. There will be a special card treatment that indicates that the cards are related.

Consider the non-canon cards and the canon cards' equivalent game pieces, meaning you can only play four copies (or one copy) of either the Magic version or Universes Beyond version in your deck.Possibly reprint those cards in other products.To start, they'll appear on The List more frequently than other cards to make them easier to find.

If an original card has in-property words, R&D can print an in-universe version of it with substituted words and new art. It depends on how well the name fits the IP. The other way around, Universes Beyond may feature straight reprints from original Magic sets with the same card name (but new art) and same mechanical cards but with a new name. According to Mark Rosewater, it was not feasible to have a Magic version for every new UB card, but R&D can make Magic versions of any UB card if the need arises. But mostly, the sets would be like The Walking Dead (alternate universe cards that stand on their own). Wizards of the Coast announced that on occasion they could utilize the treatment from the Ikoria Godzilla cards (existing Magic cards skinned with the alternate universe). There will also be the occasional standalone product like The Walking Dead, but the intention is to typically make Universes Beyond as available as any other Magic product. Wizards of the Coast may occasionally do associated Secret Lair products related to the main release, like the Secret Lair Godzilla lands when Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths came out. Universes Beyond products are not only found in Secret Lairs but are sold in the whole range of Magic products. Another border color for UB cards was dismissed, because R&D (and Sales) feared that the UB sets wouldn't get treated as “this is a different subset of Magic”, but rather as “this isn’t a real Magic card”.

This holofoil stamp was first seen on cards of the Secret Lair Drop Series: The Walking Dead, and that set was grandfathered in into the Universes Beyond series. These are still Magic cards, but the card frame is distinct and has a triangular holofoil stamp that denotes them as the non-canon cards.

The series is branded slightly differently from regular products and has a specific look as a result. Not unlike the original Deckmaster concept, Universes Beyond is a series that combines the gameplay of Magic: The Gathering with worlds, characters, and stories of other IPs.
