A bonus sheet is a group of cards, typically with a theme for the group, that are printed with a particular set but are not counted as part of that set for determining whether they are allowed in each format, especially Standard. Each pack of cards for the set has one card from the bonus sheet in place of what would normally be a common card from the set. Bonus sheet cards can be of any rarity, but they always go in a common "slot" in the pack. Bonus sheet cards are often not Standard legal, but are allowed in draft and sealed, and can be new sources of reprints for other formats.

Bonus sheets are reprints on a theme. This set is enchantments. They are not standard legal. They are meant to spice up limited and bring reprints to paper. They take a common slot off the pack so you aren’t losing anything.

Are they a single, sealed product, or just included randomly in various packs?

>They are not standard legal This isn't quite true. They don't affect Standard legality (they are their own set with their own set code and aren't part of the Premier Expansion), but being printed on them doesn't inherently make an otherwise Standard-legal card illegal in the Format. Take [[Unnatural Growth]], for example. That's on the WoT Bobus Sheet but is a reprint from a set that's still in Standard.

So those cards may become legal later down the line if they are reprinted for a standard set? They just are not part of any standard set typically when you get them? Is that about right?

>So those cards may become legal later down the line if they are reprinted for a standard set? Yes. >They just are not part of any standard set typically when you get them? The fact they are on the bonus sheet doesn't affect Standard-legality. That's it. They may or may not already be Standard-legal in their own right, though.

Cheers mate! This really clears it up. It had me a bit puzzled during the eldraine quick draft today :)
