Magic: The Gathering\u2019s<\/u> latest Marvel <\/u>crossover is still nearly six months away, but Amazon preorders are already up for bundles containing four Darkhold Destiny Commander decks, though one is definitely more hefty in ptice than the other. <\/p>\n
Whilst the standard four-deck bundle is currently selling for $299.96 on Amazon<\/u>, the Collector\u2019s Edition is going for $639.96<\/u> \u2014 both sold directly by the retailer, and launching on April 9, 2027. <\/p>\n
Depending on which one you\u2019re eyeing up, this works out to $74.99 or $159.99 each respectively. Understandably, that\u2019s quite a high entry price and knock on potential trading card<\/u> budgets, so you need to know exactly what you\u2019re getting for your money, and whether that initial cost seems worthwhile, based on first impressions. <\/p>\nWhat comes in the Darkhold Destiny Commander Bundles?<\/h2>\n
No matter which price you pay, either Darkhold Destiny Commander bundle comes with the following decks: Strange Academy, Gods of Asgard, Midnight Sons, and Lords of Hel. <\/p>\n
Each deck has 100 cards and is completely ready-to-play, containing 30 new-to-Magic Commander cards; that\u2019s along with ten double-sided tokens, a deck box, and a strategy guide. <\/p>\n
The difference between the two bundles is that the standard version comes with two Traditional Foil legendary creatures per deck; the Collector\u2019s Editions, meanwhile, swap in Surge Foil treatments across all 100 cards. <\/p>\n
Amongst the many preorders up for Darkhold Destiny<\/u> in general, the Commander Decks definitely look at least interesting on paper. <\/p>\n
For instance, with Strange Academy, Doctor Strange leads a white-blue-black blink deck that\u2019s built around sending creatures out of play and bringing them back to make repeated use of their enter-the-battlefield effects, as pointed out by Wargamer<\/u>. Since it\u2019s quite a tried-and-tested strategy, there could be plenty of mileage with this deck, though it depends what the new cards will actually do effects-wise. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Lords of Hel has Hela commanding a red-black token sacrifice deck; that\u2019s another promising combo, but that depends on the payoff you get for sacrificing those creatures. In contrast, Thor\u2019s red-green-white Gods of Asgard focuses on equipment and creatures with power four or more, whilst Blade\u2019s white-black Midnight Sons revolves around Vampires, building life, and spending it to trigger abilities. <\/p>\n
Considering the price, it is at least a relief to see that these are four Marvel-themed decks with more variety than doing the same thing. Plus, with the expansion itself, as we learned when it was announced, Darkhold Destiny is set to be the first Universes Beyond set building around an original story shared between Marvel and Wizards of the Coast. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, until we see the full decklists, we can\u2019t at least 100% determine whether all decks will be objectively good in the game\u2019s meta when Darkhold Destiny comes out. That said, if you loved the original Marvel Super Heroes expansion and are excited to see more, it should be at least safe to pre-order the standard $299.96 bundle<\/u> \u2014 and wait until further down the line to decide on the Collector\u2019s Editions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
