What you are getting here is a full 30-pack Play Booster Box, with each booster containing 14 Magic: The Gathering cards. Each pack includes one to five rares or higher, three to six uncommons, five to eight commons, and one land, with one card of any rarity guaranteed to be a Traditional Foil. What’s more, every pack includes a Mystical Archive instant or sorcery card with special art and a showcase frame, which gives this box a little more pull than the usual rare-chasing angle.

The set itself returns players to Strixhaven and its five colleges, leaning hard into the mage-school theme while mixing in the kind of collectible extras that make sealed boxes tempting even if you are not planning to draft right away.

Among other great Magic The Gathering deals going on right now, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel's Spider-Man Gift Bundle is still around $60 at both Amazon and Walmart, while supplies last. Walmart is also still selling Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Booster Boxes for only $174.99 right now.
