===History===
Wizards of the Coast began the initial development of Innistrad Remastered in 2020 with a plan to cover the first two Innistrad blocks (Innistrad block and Shadows over Innistrad block). Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow were both in early vision design and were not eligible for inclusion. Melissa DeTora was heavily involved in the initial set design work. At some point during development, Wizards decided to pause work on Innistrad Remastered and shelved the set in favor of other products. After an unknown number of years, the set was put back into development with JC Tao taking on the set lead role. Due to the pause, Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow had both been released and were now included in the remaster.
==Marketing==
Innistrad Remastered is a special limited-run set. It is sold in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. Every Play Booster features a retro frame card, with the possibility of a double-faced retro frame card. Each Play Booster also contains a traditional foil card, and may contain an art card. Collector Boosters may contain Showcase Movie Poster cards and serialized Edgar Markov cards. Serialized Edgar Markov cards are localized in English only and are available in Collector Boosters of any language. Non-serialized Edgar Markov cards found in Innistrad Remastered are mechanically identical to their serialized variants. A serialized Edgar Markov card can be found in <1% of boosters. Foil retro frame cards are also only available in Collector Boosters.
Play Boosters may contain cards INR #1–480 and Collector Boosters may contain cards INR #1–491.
===Headliner===
Innistrad Remastered is the first set to feature a Headliner. For the Headliner, the design team picks one card for a specific set and "cranks all the exciting knobs for awesome collectability, making a card feel super special by producing dedicated treatments".
