Preview boosters were released in the Multiverse Gift Set in November 1996. These boosters had a different wrapper, and said they were a "Special Edition" on the back of the wrapper. 25 cards were released this way. They are:
Bull ElephantLichenthropeUndiscovered Paradise
Dark PrivilegeLightning CloudUndo
Feral InstinctNecrosavantUrborg Mindsucker

Goblin RecruiterPeace TalksViashino Sandstalker
Gossamer ChainsRock SlideWarrior's Honor
Jamuraan LionShrieking DrakeWicked Reward
King CheetahTalruum Champion-
Knight of the MistsTempest Drake-

Several cards in the preview boosters differ slightly from the final versions. King Cheetah's preview version does not have its name capitalized in the flavor text. Viashino Sandstalker has a similar lack of capitalization of Sandstalker in the flavor text. Ovinomancer's preview version's text wraps differently; the text "{Tap}: ... owner's hand:" fits on one line. Peace Talks' preview version's text wraps differently; the second line ends with "...an attack". And all the black cards (Dark Privilege, Necrosavant, Urborg Mindsucker, Vampirism, and Wicked Reward) have slightly longer copyright lines on the preview versions than the final versions. Bull Elephant has an comma missing in the preview version's flavor text that appears in the final version.

Cards were written under the Fifth Edition rules.
