Before the set launches on June 26, you can preorder the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster box for $114.93, 31% off the sticker price of $167.76. It’s sold and shipped by a third party, but there are a few trustworthy vendors for trading card games on Amazon and Collectors Expedition is one of them.
New Price Drop on Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Box
Each Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart booster box comes with 24 Jumpstart booster packs. Compared to regular Play or Collector booster packs, Jumpstart boosters each contain 20 cards instead of 15. And each pack has a one in 51 chance of encompassing an entire Marvel Super Heroes or villains theme. Playing Magic Jumpstart kits are slightly different than a traditional game of Magic. Here, you’ll open two packs, shuffle them together to form a synergistic 40-card deck, and do battle from there. So the Jumpstart box is both a great way to introduce new players to Magic by teaching them the basic mechanics and rules, but a fun alternative way to play for those who constantly grind Commander or competitive matches.
The Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart set come with over 180 brand new cards, and Marvel Super Heroes as a whole will introduce over 600 new mechanically unique cards into Magic’s ever-growing library.
Is this a good deal?
It’s not entirely uncommon for MTG preorders to get discounted closer to their release date, but it’s not usually by very much. This is the best price we’ve seen on this booster set on Amazon since preorders were announced and it seems unlikely it will get discounted any further before release. With that in mind, you can definitely expect this set to get a bigger price cut sometime after it releases. So if you don’t care about grabbing a box ahead of release date, it’s probably better to wait for a better discount later this year.
