Magic: The Gathering1000+ Bulk Cards MTG [Toy]

Great for a new MTG player. You get a nice selection from several series. The card are new. Not too many duplicate cards.

I purchased this for my daughter who wanted to build her own playable decks. I purchased the three items that are stated to be most frequently purchased together. There were a lot of duplicates in the 1078 cards I got but because this is a game that involves trading & collecting my daughter was very happy! I had a friend that is very knowledgeable about " Magic The Gathering Game" look over everything I purchased & he said I got a very good deal, he also explained that duplicates are not necessarily a bad thing whether using them in play or having them for " Trading" purposes. He also pointed out that the cards that were most duplicated were good strong cards that work well when played together. He basically said whoever put these cards together knew what they were doing! I told him what I had paid for the three recommended card selections & asked " Did I do good?" He responded " Yes most definitely, as a matter of fact not only can your daughter build multiple playable decks, she got some very strong cards! As a matter of fact I'm a bit jealous!" This may not be the most exciting bulk supply of cards for a very experienced player but for some one like my daughter who is just getting into the game It allowed her to build multiple playable decks of all colors!!! Please keep in mind that I did purchase the 3 products most frequently purchased together. That being " The 1000+ Bulk magic the Gathering cards", " The 100 Rare/ Uncommon M.T.G. Cards" & " The 500 Basic land cards- 100 of each land type". I apparently scored big time on my purchased of 20 sided dice as my friend enviously said " Wow...Those are 1st generation M.T.G. Dice!" I also learned that I indeed got a great deal for my purposes as a " Fat Pack" cost as much as I spent on the 3 frequently purchased together items & the 20 sided dice!!! While I might not have gotten my daughter any " Mythic Rare's" or " Plains Walkers" to make up for the duplications in the 100 Rare & Uncommon purchase I got 101 cards all Rare & Uncommon with the bonus card being a valuable card. Since M.T.G. is a game that involves collecting & trading the duplicates don't bother me a bit especially when my friend explained that the duplicates we got were strong cards & cards designed to be played together. This frequently purchased together suggestion really helped me a 50 year old guy that knows very little about M.T.G. help my daughter get a big jump start in the game allowing her to build multiple playable decks of every color & kind!!! This made her very happy, which made me very happy!!!

TL;DR: A lot (REALLY) of duplicates. Not worth. Returned.Well, let's go from the start: really no lands, as it states, ok. But also, no rares at all, as description also states, but still ok. Overall you can see its a mix: some are new and some are used you can notice by the cards edges coloring on the box picture. Contains all colors and there's everything from creatures to artifacts, tokens, etc. But the amount of duplicates is outrageous. I mean, having some is completely normal and understandable, but not this number! From the picture of where they are separated by color and there are 2 decks each color in the bottom, those decks are ONLY duplicates of that SAME card, which is on top of the pile facing up. Yes, that's right, check following pic. On the other decks (the ones on top) there are some duplicates also, which quantity varies form 3-5. But specifically for those cards mentioned, it is a huge number, being more than a whole deck itself, only with duplicates. It is done in such a way that looks like standardized: 2 piles per color, 60+ cards each pile, you do the math... By reorganizing the chunks of cards differently, you can even see they form big blocks of cards, that were not even ever separated or touched, just thrown in there as a bunch load. Now the last but not least, the last picture where cards are facing the back to each other, you can see that only the SINGLE duplicates on the right side (not counting the random 3-5 for the other decks) represent more than half of the whole box. You can easily say 600+ just from looking at it. For me, no value for money at all. I am returning this item.

I bought this just for fun figuring it would contain many cards I didn't own as I haven't been buying cards recently.I got over 1000 cards of which 492 were unique. There was a small batch of 4th ed. italian cards stuck at the end of the box. I didn't include those in these calculations. There was a single basic land, 859 common cards and 187 uncommon cards.Around half of the cards were from Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, and Dragon's Maze. As noted, there were no rares, and no cards of any significant value. The program I used to catalog the cards indicated it would cost over $150 to buy these cards individually online although that's probably not a great estimate of it's worth.Since I haven't been buying cards overwhelmingly these cards were new to me so from the at perspective I would call this box a good value... for me. I would really only suggest this box for people who haven't been collecting and want to just get a whole bunch of cards to sort through... or maybe for someone younger and you just want to jump start their collection and get them cards that a dog could chew up and no tears would need to be lost.This is what I got:# 1000 cards instant collection1 Tsunami1 Predator's Strike5 Burst of Strength7
