Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 (M20) Bundle | 10 Booster Packs | Accessories | Factory Sealed

Booster set for building up collection

Hands down worth the $32 I paid for. Lot of complaints on this product that don't make much sense. Everything that was supposed to come with the product was listed in the description, no more no less, exactly as advertised.Comes with 20 basic non-foil lands (4 of each color, one of each art piece), 20 basic foil lands (4 of each color, one of each art piece), the oversized spin-down die (It's about comparable to 1.5 - 2 times the size of other magic spin-down dice, its very cool and other people seem to like the looks of it as well whenever I bring it out to use), 10 Core 2020 booster packs (What comes in these is completely random, but guaranteed 9-10 Commons where its typical to see 10 commons but confirmed from WOTC that every 1 in 3 packs there will be a random Foil card in place of a common, there is also 3 Uncommon, and either 1 Rare or 1 Mythic, Still these are completely random and if you happen to have bad luck, then its just bad luck, the PUBLIC decides what is good and bad which sways the market on cards). The last items that come with this product are a "poster" which is the cardboard cover surrounding the contents, the heavy cardboard case that encloses the contents (good material but I'm not personally a fan of how the top of the case just slides on and off where its 2 pieces making it unsecured if it were to fall and tip over, 80% of the time all of the cards are going to spill out), and the last piece to the product is the alternate foil promo card, being the Chandra's Regulator card (this is the only promo that comes with the product, if you buy this bundle then you are guaranteed this card no matter what).Everything came as listed for my order, no signs of tampering or anything shady, product arrived just as described and I was aware of the contents before purchasing so I will not be giving this bundle a bad review because I was not like the other incompetent people crying over some useless Card Guide and I seen that only 40 lands total were coming my way.In conclusion: No surprises, totally worth the $32 where you wouldn't be able to find this bundle anywhere else for less than $40. I've been reading up on the new card sets coming in the future and it looks like they are following the same format as Core Set 2020 (40 lands where 20 are foils, the oversized spin-down die, 10 draft booster packs, a promo foil, and the case). It looks like WOTC are driving the Card Guides to be obsolete by making that part completely digital, so don't expect any other bundle sets to be any different than the frame work of this bundle set.Quick Final Note: I suggest to find an unboxing video of this product on YouTube if anyone has any confusion on what is to be expected in this bundle set, all future bundle sets seem to be following this bundle's format in terms of content.

Core set bundle packs are wonderful, the new larger spindown is cool, the box it all comes in is gorgeous, the addition of the internal seperator box is nice, the poster wrap is a bit dark on this set but some do collect them, the spacer box that makes the bundle look a bit larger than it is is cool and functional for extra storage of dice and counters, as i dont keep the poster wrap i probably wont use the extra storage box as much, the addition of foil lands is awesome, after 3 bundle packs im a bit flooded with extra mana but have plenty of space for it, a booster is $4.25 on average so 10 for under 33$ is a deal especially with all the extras, i miss the card guide booklet(was a wonderful visual reference)but its online so no total loss, overall the bundle pack(which i still refer to as Fat Packs) are totally worth the money and will increase storage capacity quite beautifully. I believe bundles are best for anyone with these needs and newbies will love them too! Deckbuilders sets are nice tho the bundle box is sturdier the DB set boxes are gorgeous too even if a lighter cardboard construction, DB sets have a better rounding of multicolor cards and its not bad to get the 3 mixed set boosters and set booster pack, wish DB sets came with a spindown dice, the land variety in DB sets is better than bundle but if you by Bundle+Deck Builders you will get a very decent collection of cards to start with or increase a collection, in regards to dual lands in the Ravnica Allegiances DB set i bought 2 of these and got four altogether of each dual land for deckbuilding- so i do recommend a purchase of 1x Bundle and 2x Deck Builders sets to get a very nice start up set for newcomers to this game(this is around the cost of a newer boardgame)Overall MtG has been a Epic game for 25 years and keeps getting better, be weary of selling cards as newer sets sometimes add combo strategies that make older cards quite useful of valuable later so keep your mind on the possibilities(ive sold 2 collections ive made since Ice Age Block and you wouldnt believe my regret on those decisions)im trying to rebuild but with a purpose from now on.Personally i keep about 5 decks that will always get the best picks of any set i buy and a few decks that are just possibility decks as well as a couple super simple teaching decks that are for anyone i come across that want to join the game. I hope this review is helpful and most of all- Have Fun!

Been playing with cards from this set since early July on the digital version (MtG Arena). I've been enjoying the cards in this set so far, more awesome art and some cool planeswalker cards. I even liked the tokens from this set! 2019 has been a fun year for MtG and it continues with this set.I was aware that starting with this one, they will no longer include a Players Guide in these bundles. It's a real shame as I enjoyed reading through the past guides. You do get an oversized D20 which is nice (I guess? It's kind of meh), some foil lands, and an extra foil card featuring alt-art of a rare card "Chandra's Regulator". But I'd easily trade these back for a proper Player's Guide.Yeah, one could argue that the buyer should research this change before making the purchase and not complain about it. However, complaining about it on a review is a good way for the consumer to express a change in format/features is disliked. I don't buy these things just for the player's guide, there's a lot to like in the bundle.The cards do feel a little different with this print run, it could be just the batch I got. I do remember hearing that Wizards of the Coast was making some changes in the print quality of cards since mid-War of the Spark runs. I don't think they are bad or anything, they just feel a little different. They feel a little smoother, I think. I saw some other mentions of this, so I wasn't the only one. They even felt a little different from some of card the regular core 2020 booster packs.Another note, this is like the third set of MtG products I've pre-ordered from Amazon and each time they did not deliver on the release date. I've gotten this with many other products via Amazon, but not with new MtG stuff. I've actually been getting these almost a week after the release date. It's a bit of a fail on that level.

The alternate art foil rare is a nice inclusion, but the bundle now no longer includes the Player’s Guide.The Player’s Guide was a substantial booklet which contained a visual spoiler of the entire set, as well as additional lore surrounding the featured plane/creatures/planeswalkers of the set. It also included a top ten for the set of coolest cards; this particular bit wasn’t a selling point, but just an additional feature. Instead, there is a flimsily double-sided page (fully illustrated!) with just two links (one on each side) to mtgstory.com and gather.wizards.com. These two resources have been available to the player base for years, and I’m sure have even been advertised in previous Bundles, so nothing new there.I feel it’s a real shame that newer players are going to miss out on the awesome resource that was the Player’s Guide. I use both of the afore mentioned web resources frequently, but there is just something so satisfying about that tangibility. Using the Player’s Guide to browse through cards before psychically doing so to make decks saved so much time and made the experience much more bearable as my collection grows.I hope they bring it back in the future, because at this point, unless the alternate art foil rare included in the bundle is just fire, there’s no reason I would buy one again for future releases (and even then, if it is, I could always just buy the single(s) off of the secondary market).RIP Player’s Guide.
