At the expansion's prerelease events on January 26–27, 2013, players chose their guild a choice that affected gameplay, as, in addition to receiving five Gatecrash boosters, players received a guild-specific sticker, an acceptance letter from their guild leader, a spindown life counter, a promotional prerelease card, an achievement/challenge card, and an additional guild-specific booster. Wizards of the Coast created a "Choose Your Guild" interactive quiz and Planeswalker Points Web page for the expansion, allowing Magic players to choose their guild.
The small booster featured artwork from Domri Rade. The 16-card boosters featured artwork from Duskmantle Guildmage, Prime Speaker Zegana, Skarrg Guildmage, Vizkopa Guildmage, and Sunhome Guildmage. An early preview picture of the set shows Aurelia, the leader of the Boros Legion, adjacent to planeswalker Gideon Jura, mirroring the preview picture of the preceding Return to Ravnca, which featured Izzet League leader Niv-Mizzet and planeswalker Jace Beleren. Like its predecessor the set also featured Booster Battle Packs, which contained two Gatecrash booster packs and two semi-randomized, guild-associated 22-card decks. Gatecrash was sold in 16-card boosters, 6-card boosters, five intro packs, two event decks and a fat pack.
The expansion symbol is a pointed arch of a gate. The set featured two planeswalkers one, Gideon, Champion of Justice, was an established planeswalker, whilst the other, Domri Rade was new. Despite being a large expansion, Gatecrash did not contain any basic lands ( Return to Ravnica had some extra). The five guilds returning in Gatecrash were the Boros Legion, House Dimir, Gruul Clans, Orzhov Syndicate, and Simic Combine. Like Return to Ravnica, the preceding expansion set, Gatecrash focused on the guild system and multicolor cards. Gatecrash contains 249 cards (101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares), including randomly inserted premium versions of all cards in the set.
