Extreme Value Package

An early "Extreme Value Package" contained 2 booster packs and 8 "bonus cards" repacked into a blister pack. The "bonus cards" could be any cards from any rarity, including lands and foreign language cards from any expansion or limited edition set. Retail price: US$7.99 (which was .01 more than the cost of 2 booster packs). Another variant was 1 booster pack and 30 random cards.

Blister booster three packs

Blister packs containing 3 random MTG booster packs plus an exclusive foil promo. Available since 2007.

Promos

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

  1. "Stocking Tiger" and "Magister of Worth" were mis-packaged into some select blister packs.
  2. Promos starting in 2015 do not include the "A##" marking and are in the 2015-style border.
  3. 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.
