Acrylic containers
Clear Acrylic storage cubes, packed by a third party. The most recent ones contain two booster packs and one mystery deck for an MSRP of $19.98.[note 3] 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 4]
In the past, these storage cubes have also contained other products like 6-card booster packs from "gravity feeds", packs of 50 sleeves, packs of lands containing either 50-80 assorted lands,[note 5] or packs of semi-randomized cards from a Deck Builder's Toolkit.[note 6][1] They have also been known to contain damaged products.[1]
$30 deck packages
A 2012 variant contained one certain Commander deck, two random other decks, 3 regular boosters, and 2 6-card "bonus boosters" for an MSRP of $30.[1]
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.
- ↑ They are often too small and will not fit sleeved cards at all. Most of the time the contianers are not meant for playing cards. Sometimes however, you do find a double container that does fit sleeved cards.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Some of the "precronstructed" decks could be all lands.
- ↑ These were advertised as a deck by themselves.
