#THEROS HOLIDAY GIFT BOX FULL#

Dispel is a great card for Modern…(last time I played against a Splinter Twin player, he sided in Dispel, and it gave him an edge.) Also notable is Angelic Gift, to those casual angel players. This pack has a great gold ally, Resolute Blademaster. I am glad to add another to my collection. And the rare…įathom Feeder has seen some play in Blue-Black Aristocrats. Retreat to Coralheim is notable…a great way to get reliable card draw.

#THEROS HOLIDAY GIFT BOX FULL#

I am really partial to the full art island. (Spoiler: No Zendikar Expedition this time 😦 ) So what was in my five booster packs? I will show you a photo of each pack fully opened, and then make some commentary. (The sealed product would gain a ton of value on the third party market.) I suppose the Wizards thought it might be a bad idea to print one of each full art land and put them in the holiday box. (confirmed)īasically, full art basic lands sell for $1.00 apiece, helping make each and every booster pack of BFZ all that much more valuable than boosters from other sets. And I wonder if the intro packs also have these lands. I was aware of them because they were in the card image gallery, and wondered why I had never opened one. This is the only time I have seen regular basic lands for this set. But it is this time because every other product released for Battle for Zendikar has featured “full art” lands. Normally this wouldn’t be all that significant. Standard nowadays has five fetch lands from Kahns of Tarkir block, as well as Evolving Wilds, which can really pull a lot of value out of a 1/1 kitty cat for only a forest. He’s not quite as good, but he sees some play in constructed. This card is equivalent to “Steppe Lynx” from the older Zendikar set. This box came with this exclusive printing of Scythe Leopard. For instance, I had a bunch of special lands in a spot, and then put down a divider, and had my pieces of “tiny leaders” decks next. I tend to use them exclusively with the Holiday boxes to create a concrete reference for how I organized my cards. These dividers are handy in almost any deck box.

Zendikar has floating islands, towering mountains with waterfalls, and of course corrupted areas of “dust” produced by Ulamog and the other Eldrazi. That one on the very bottom right is “blighted” something. But already, I have used some of these, (I am writing two days after my unboxing.) In fact, I don’t use these stickers because that thing is just annoying. I like how this year we get the stickers on card sized paper! The big thing from years past is just in the way. I hear that some people use these boxes to hold their “cube.” Since I don’t have a large enough pool of playing friends to care about making a cube… A great place to put “bulk cards,” pieces of decks, organizing lands, or whatever. But each row can hold more than a “fat pack” box. I’m not sure the exact number of cards a box like this can hold. Good and sturdy, with two dividers to help in organizing the cards. I have the Kahns of Tarkir Holiday box from last year, and there are two Theros Holiday boxes floating around my house somewhere. So it was worth getting the sealed product. But I wanted to write on my blog and talk about the cards some. I considered buying the box alone, which would have been about $8. Opening the box, I saw…this…(It is an extra piece of cardboard meant to shield the contents from getting bumped around.) So this is the image I will see every time I use the box! Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger squaring off with Gideon, Avenger of Zendikar. It is just something obstructing me from getting to my cards. You remove the cellophane, and then this cardboard sleeve. So is this a great gift for a MTG player? How did it go for me? Keep reading!įlipping the box over, you get to see the contents.

Thanks Mom! (Web Bucks are basically a gift certificate.)

I purchased the Battle For Zendikar Holiday Gift Box from the Tangled Web with some Web Bucks that my mom gave me for Christmas. Once again, it’s time to get a new box for all of my MTG goodies.
