The holidays are soon approaching, and if you're thinking of buying a gift for your friends who play Magic: The Gathering, you may want to check out what Wizards of the Coast is planning to release this November.
The Wizards Play Network has released new details about the upcoming MTG product called the Throne of Eldraine Holiday Gift Bundle, and it's more loaded than a typical MTG bundle or fatpack. Check out the details below:
Release Date: November 15, 2019
Description:
With special packaging, a Collector Booster, and a unique foil alternate art promo card, the Holiday Gift Bundle is the go-to choice for shoppers looking to purchase a gift for their favorite Magic fan.
Contents:
> 1 Collector Booster
> 1 special oversized Spindown life counter
> 10 Throne of Eldraine Draft Booster packs
> 20 regular basic lands
> 20 foil basic lands
> 1 foil alt-art bundle promo card
The typical MTG bundle usually cost around $40 USD so this Holiday Bundle will probably cost a bit more than that since it comes with a Collector Booster.
Just in case you haven't heard of the Throne of Eldraine Collector Booster, Wizards of the Coast announced this product last July, and the Collector Boosters will be priced around $20 to $25 USD per booster. This product is aimed at players who value collecting cards. That probably means that the Holiday Bundle will cost around $50 to $60 USD.
Here are the cards guaranteed in each Collector Booster:
Number of Cards: 15 cards and 1 foil token card
Number of Versions: 1
Contents: 1 rare/mythic rare with extended art
1 foil rare/mythic rare
9 foil commons/uncommons
3 special-frame cards (showcase or borderless planeswalkers)
1 ancillary card
1 foil token
The Throne of Eldraine Collector Booster will be available in English and Japanese, and theThorne of Eldraine buy-a-box promotion will include one Collector Booster in addition to the normally mechanically unique promo card while supplies last.
There will also be a Throne of Eldraine Theme Booster available. For more details about the new kinds of booster packs, check them out here.
Throne of Eldraine, the 82nd Magic expansion, is set to release on October 4. Prerelease events will take place on September 27 to 29.
