Innistrad: Double Feature
Innistrad: Double Feature is a booster-based compilation set that was released on January 28, 2022, in WPN stores only.
Set details
Innistrad: Double Feature was announced to combine select cards from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and Innistrad: Crimson Vow into one unique draft experience. However, it turned out to combine all cards from the two sets. It is sold at $9.99 per booster pack.
The set features a greyscale art treatment on every card, said to be inspired by black-and-white classical monster movies. These are similar to "Eternal Night" showcase basic lands from Midnight Hunt, having colored accents to denote the card color, rarity and mana symbols. The cards have been given a special high-contrast treatment. Each card is said to have been adjusted individually to look great in black and white. The usual "rainbow" foil treatment has been swapped for a unique "silver screen" foil that is said to enhance a cinematic monochrome effect.
The Double Feature contains 534 regular cards (200 commons, 166 uncommons, 128 rares, 40 mythic rares) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. #1-267 from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and #268-534 from Innistrad: Crimson Vow, The prerelease card card is #535. Bramble Armor Evolving Wilds and Snarling Wolf each appear twice in the list. There are no basic lands (thus also excluding the full-art lands).
Marketing
Each Draft Booster contains two rares or mythic rares (one from each set), two non-foil double-faced cards (one from each set) and one silver screen foil card.

Reception
Innistrad: Double Feature was considered a big miss. Players believed Double Feature was unnecessary; they didn't like the black-and-white aesthetic, felt WotC misled them on what the contents were going to be, and were upset that it wasn't a crafted draft experience rather than just the two sets thrown together.
