When talking about the history of Magic: The Gathering, most people think of Richard Garfield, the award-winning game designer who invented the game in the early 1990s. It's probably one of the best boosters for deck builders new to the game who are still settling on a color or two. That last one was pretty exciting, as Wizards of the Coast had said the Core Sets were not coming back, but they went ahead with this very comprehensive release. The new sets include Masters 25, which is a commemorative release for the company's 25th anniversary Ultimate Masters, which is said to be the last Masters release for the foreseeable future and the 2019 Core Set. As it would happen, another three (Shadows Over Innistrad, Amonkhet, and Origins) were removed from the list as their cards had aged without gaining much value on the market, while new cards with similar abilities and lower casting cost rendered several of their best offerings sub-standard. They might not all be keepers, and collectability isn't really on offer, but in terms of adding some power to your deck, it's a smart buy.Īmong the recent additions to the available booster boxes on the market, three stood out and absolutely had to be included on our list. And if it's planeswalkers you're after, I hear tell that Masters 25 was absolutely lousy with them. That set is also on the pricey side, where something like Core Set 2021 offers anyone just getting into collecting and playing a way to catch up with a lot of the most recently developed mechanics. Of course, there's a downside to the collectability here: if everyone's getting that many more rares, their value over time might not rise to the level of the priciest vintage cards out there. They've literally doubled the allotment for this box, with two of each major card type compared to the one almost every other set in history. It's exceedingly unusual for Wizards of the coast to offer this much access to foils, rares, and mythics.
This is what I love about Double Masters. In the moment, you might recognize a particularly rare pull, and then down the line you might find that a card you tossed in an experimental deck at the last minute significantly changes that deck for the better. It's like playing the lottery with both an immediate and long-term benefit. While I thoroughly enjoy actually playing the game, I probably take as much pleasure, if not more, from the act of opening up boosties.
