Acrylic containers
Clear Acrylic storage cubes, containing of two booster packs and one mystery deck for an MSRP of $19.98. You can see the front of the booster packs through the plastic storage cube, but the deck is hidden. This may be an Intro pack, or a potentially valuable old Commander, Archenemy or Duel Deck.[2] Notice that Commander decks are thicker and heavier than Intro Packs. They also may be recognized by a red band around the deck.[1][note 3]
In the past, these storage cubes have also contained other products like -Booster packs --- These boosters are often of the newer sets, and I for one have not seen boosters from a set older than a year. These boosters may also be 6-card boosters that may not have a rare ($1.99 card packs near checkout).
-Sleeves ---Packs of 50 sleeves have appeared as far back as a few months ago. More often than not, they are Legion sleeves, but there isn't enough to sleeve a full deck. Sometimes the container claim 100 sleeves but have two different packs of 50. Remember, your deck must have matching sleeves in order to be legal for tournament play.
-Lands ---Packs of lands containing either 50-80 assorted lands. Some of the "precronstructed" decks may be all lands.
-Semi-Random cards ---These are a pack of semi randomized cards that you will find in the deck builders toolkit. NOTE: these will be advertised as a deck by themselves.
Notes
- ↑ "Stocking Tiger" and "Magister of Worth" were mis-packaged into some select blister packs.
- ↑ Promos starting in 2015 do not include the "A##" marking and are in the 2015-style border.
- ↑ These are the decks only and maybe a strategy insert. You will most likely not get all of the cards if the original packaging had extra cards displayed on the front of the package.
