While the majority of Magic: The Gathering sets are designed around the inclusion of powerful new cards, Masters sets are a popular alternative type of set, made up entirely of much-needed reprints of previously released cards. Magic's most recent set, Double Masters 2022 is a treasure trove of stellar cards that see play in a variety of formats from Commander to Modern. While some of these cards have popped up in various sets or the likes of preconstructed Commander decks, Double Masters 2022 is home to a litany of cards that have never seen reprints prior. So today, we're going to see every card in this set that had never before seen a reprint!
Before we begin, we should note that we are accounting for various factors such as if cards have been printed in more than sets, including within Secret Lairs or within "The List." However, if a card had only been reprinted as a Judge Promo, it will still be included, as such reprints are not widely available to all players.
White
White has received a respectable seven cards reprinted that hadn't been seen since their initial printing. While some of these cards such as Anointer of Valor and Militia Bugler see more play in limited than within constructed formats, there are a few white reprints sure to please Commander players. While the Reprinting of Emiel the Blessed makes this previously pricy blink commander more accessible for players, this is most notably the first time we've ever seen a reprint of Smothering Tithe, one of the strongest white mana-generating staples in the entire Commander format.
The following white cards have seen their first reprints in Double Masters 2022:
- Anointer of Valor - Commander Legends
- Divine Visitation - Guilds of Ravnica
- Emiel The Blessed - Jumpstart
- Militia Bugler - Core Set 2019
- Myth Realized - Dragons of Tarkir
- Smothering Tithe - Ravnica Allegiance
- Settle Beyond Reality - Modern Horizons
Blue
Eight blue cards within Double Masters 2022 hadn't seen prior reprints, making them far more accessible to players. Though cards like As Foretold and Disciple of the Ring can provide flexible value and flexibility, Force of Negation is easily the most notable of these reprinted cards. A three-mana counterspell, Force of Negation can notably be cast for free during an opponent's turn if you exile a blue card from your hand, allowing it to function in comparable manner to the ever-excellent Force of Will. Due to its legality in Modern unlike Force of Will, this makes it among the most sought-after blue staples of the format, making this reprint incredibly helpful for Modern players.
The following blue cards have seen their first reprints in Double Masters 2022:
- Aven Initiate - Amonkhet
- As Foretold - Amonkhet
- Disciple of the Ring - Magic Origins
- Force Of Negation - Modern Horizons
- Ingenious Skaab - Eldritch Moon
- Kasmina's Transmutation - War of the Spark
- Kederekt Leviathan - Shards Of Alara
- Mistfire Adept - Fate Reforged
Black
WIth eleven never-before-reprinted cards featured in Double Masters 2022, the majority of these reprints are of commons and uncommons that primarily see play in limited rather than within constructed formats. However, there is one never-before-reprinted black card that is currently the most valuable card in the entire set: Imperial Seal. Effectively a sorcery-speed Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal is a potent one-mana tutor, serving as one of the most efficient tutors in all of Magic. Prior to the release of Double Masters 2022, the card's only printing was in the notoriously shortly printed Portal Three Kingdoms back in 1999, making this card incredibly hard to come by prior to this reprint.
The following black cards have seen their first reprints in Double Masters 2022:
- Imperial Seal - Portal Three Kingdoms
- Ob Nixilis, Unshackled - Magic 2015
- Oona's Prowler - Lorwyn
- Seekers' Squire - Ixalan
- Severed Strands - Guilds of Ravnica
- Shadowborn Apostle - Core Set 2014
- Skinrender - Scars of Mirrodin
- Strands of Undeath Ravnica; City of Guilds
- Yahenni, Undying Partisan - Aether Revolt
- Vampire Sovereign - Core Set 2019
- Vampiric Rites - Battle For Zendikar
Red
Double Masters 2022 is home to sixteen cards that had never before seen a reprint. Of these red reprints, two cards truly steal the show: Dockside Extortionist and Warrior's Oath.
Only ever printed in a single preconstructed Commander deck, Dockside Extortionist is among the most polarizing cards in the Commander format. For the low cost of two mana, Dockside Extortionist is capable of creating a significant number of treasure tokens for a negligible amount of mana. As a sought-after Commander staple that many believe can be effectively slotted into any red Commander deck, additional copies of this card in circulation will significantly help this card's accessibility.
Though far from a staple like Dockside Extortionist, Warrior's Oath, like the previously mentioned Imperial Seal had only seen a printing within Portal Three Kingdoms. Due to the minuscule number of available copies, prior to this reprinting, copies of Warrior's Oath were selling for hundreds of dollars, meaning that this reprinting will allow those looking to utilize the card to do so without breaking the bank.
The following red cards have seen their first reprints in Double Masters 2022:
- Abbot of Keral Keep - Magic Origins
- Backdraft Hellkite - Commander 2019
- Dockside Extortionist - Commander 2019

Green
Like white, green has received seven first-time-reprints in Double Masters 2022. Among these cards, one stand include Impervious Greatworm, a card that had previously only been available as Guilds of Ravnica's Buy-a-Box promo. This creature is a solid inclusion in creature-heavy Commander decks, serving as a massive 16/16 with indestructible that despite its mana value of ten, can be cast with your creatures through its access to Convoke.
The most impressive green reprint within DOuble Masters 2022 is easily Allosaurus Shepherd. Despite being a single green mana, this 1/1 Elf can prevent your creatures from being countered whilst maintaining significant late-game value through its activated ability capable of bolstering even the smallest of elves under your control. As this card is an excellent inclusion in Elf-tribal decks in Commander and Legacy alike, this reprint will make the card much more accessible, as it had previously only been printed as a Mythic in Jumpstart.
The following green cards have seen their first reprints in Double Masters 2022:
- Allosaurus Shepherd - Jumpstart
- Ambuscade - Hour of Devastation
- Annoyed Altisaur - Commander Legends
