They are going back to core sets (again) in Nov starting with Foundations, a 50/50 reprint/new card set that's going to be in Standard until at least 2029.
"Foundations launches on Nov. 15, and will have all the trappings of a mainline set release — that includes Play boosters, Collector boosters, Jumpstart boosters, and Bundles as well as all the same pre-release pomp and circumstance as any other new set of cards. But it will also feature two new-to-Magic products: a Beginner Box and a Starter Collection."
"the Beginner Box will include 10 packets with 20 cards inside each one, with two packets for each of Magic’s five colors of mana. Using a mix-and-match system originally designed for the Jumpstart product line, players will be able to combine and recombine those 10 packets into many different kinds of decks." - $30
"Once players have mastered the Foundations Beginner Box of 200 cards, then they can move on to the Starter Collection. That 350-card box will help them to expand on the themes and techniques they’ve already discovered, while also serving to keep them well within the warm embrace of a kind of estuary — a place of calm that should remain stable even as multiple new sets of cards are released year after year." - $60
The full product line featuring Play, Collector, and Jumpstart boosters arrives at retail this Novemeber

Also looks like Duskmourn is going the 70s/80s tech route with TV's, headphones, etc. Didn't like this shit in Kamigawa or Streets either, but I guess I'm the minority.
