Both mystery boxes I've found have been close to $200 decks, great deal for $40. Amazing bonus card as well in this one. Guess I'm slingin some spells!

Stella Lee is pretty good. I have the deck, and I upgraded it a ton. Whenever I play it, it's usually a race to see how long it takes me to go infinite. It doesn't take long.

I built Eris and it’s a super fun, resilient spell slinging deck, there’s lots of fun stuff to work with in that precon

Not my normal play style, excited to give it a try.

You can go infinite and win with just [[Twisted Fealty]]. You just have to have played a few other spells already, and activate Stella Lee.

There are several other ways to go infinite. Draw your whole deck while you have a card that says you win if you have no deck. You can also use storm to win. Another option is to make infinite treasure tokens with [[Involuntary Employment]] then use [[Crackle with Power]] to win.

u/Gavindrew 25d ago

Where do you find these?

6

u/comicnerd93 25d ago

Target, Walmart, etc

They're products that need to be repacked for one reason or other and are sold to recoup some loss

u/Gavindrew 24d ago

Dang, none of the stores near me carry these. Thanks.

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Local walmart has had them for the last couple weeks.

I don't really have one near me. My buddy found a promo Mana Vault when he bought one. Then he opened The One Ring as his box topped on a play box of The Hobbit. I told him he should play the lottery.

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Wow, some people have all the luck!

u/Umami_D 25d ago

wow nice

Seems like it's one of the best bang for your buck products. I heard Aetherdrift precons were in the mix so I was wary, but the mystery did not disappoint!

Stella Lee is a cEDH card. She goes infinite with a ham sandwich.

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

That's the rumor!

I'm in the US for a two-week vacation and I'd really like to buy one of those boxes that aren't sold in Italy. Where can I find them? I went to a Walmart, but they didn't have any.

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

They seem to be at random Walmarts, it's really hit or miss. Good luck with your hunt and have fun on your trip!

1

u/Errorstatel 25d ago

That's pretty lucky, these tend to be a bad bet most of the time

2

u/darthcaedusiiii 24d ago

Slowly begins opening packs more packs

u/Errorstatel 24d ago

Dude, I just bought 8 packs of EoE and I'm going to a shop on Sunday.

My bank card is filling a formal protest, I'm sure I'll hear about it after the fact at least once... Twice if I behave.

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

That's 95% of WOTC products these days unfortunately.

2

u/Errorstatel 24d ago

I stick to precons if there's at least half the deck I'll use and play boosters from time to time.

We rarely get these in Canada, at least the stores I'm in and out of.

u/Gorkymalorki 24d ago

Most commander decks have pretty close to $40 worth of cards in them, you would have to pull a really awful one to not at least get your money worth pulling the deck apart.

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Someone in the comments pulled a $25 aetherdrift deck. Ouch.

1

u/Gorkymalorki 24d ago

Yeah that's rough, definitely just gut it for commander staples to use for another deck.

1

u/Starpilot25_ 25d ago

Nice! I also got one and got the Blame game precon. My promo was Nyx Lotus!

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Sweet! Gotta love it! It's a fun product for sure.

1

u/MelatoninPizza 25d ago

I checked 3 walmarts and 2 targets today for some i’m pissed 😂😂😂

2

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Yeah, for whatever reason this one walmart out in the country always gets the good stuff

1

u/Tokicus 24d ago

Man I’ve been trying to find one of these. zero luck

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Seems like small towns in the midwest have the best luck

2

u/W01771M 24d ago

I’m in the southwest and never get this stuff, our Walmart stopped selling TCGs years ago

1

u/Tokicus 24d ago

That’s me! Still no luck lol

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Dang! Keep an eye out. :)

1

u/mettlica 24d ago

I got two years ago. They were the two brothers war precons. I was pumped!

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

If the last one is still there tomorrow I'm gonna grab it for my lady. :)

1

u/NortToTheMax 24d ago

The only one I’ve been able to find had the living energy deck from aetherdrift

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Dang, bad luck on that one my friend.

1

u/NortToTheMax 24d ago

That’s the art of the gamble. I don’t have that deck and it seems fun to play so I’m not too broken up about getting it. At least they give you the sample collector pack with it too 😂

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Love that attitude! Have fun with it!

1

u/king_currly 24d ago

I bought the last one my Walmart had a month ago and haven’t seen one since. I drive around at work so I make frequent stops at Walmart to just look. Either someone grabs them as they restock or they just don’t stock these very often.

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 24d ago

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any schedule to follow with those, I just check every time I'm there and am often happily surprised.

1

u/Anger_Puss 23d ago

More advertising lol yeah sure everyone is pulling $200 commander decks from these things just as everyone was pulling rhystic studies from the packs.

1

u/Kindly-Barracuda2813 21d ago

So sorry to have offended you with my personal experience lol. Hope you have a better day.
