Revision as of 18:00, 26 June 2022

Holiday Gift Box

Several special seasonal Magic gift packages have been released by Wizards of the Coast, containing a combination of various products.

Description

Early Gift Boxes

Starting as early as Revised, Gift Boxes were created incidentally. These were often designed as 2-Player Starter Sets. Other examples are the Multiverse Gift Box and the Vanguard Gift Box.

Holiday Gift Box

Although Gift Boxes had been released in the past, this seasonal product was introduced after the release of Return to Ravnica.[1]

The storage box is useful to both beginners and thorough collectors and especially designed for non-Magic playing people who want to surprise their playing relatives. Initially, the gift boxes were always released in November. Starting with Shadows over Innistrad, a Gift Box is released with each large expansion.

Each Gift Box can hold more than 2,000 Magic cards, it comes with some booster packs from the first set of a block, a pack of twenty basic lands from the same set, six illustrated plastic dividers, a sticker sheet for customizing the dividers and an exclusive card with alternate art.

Gift Box

In 2016 the product was rebranded as the Magic: The Gathering Gift Box and also appeared in the Easter Season.[2][3]

Gift Pack

For the 2017 Holiday Season the Gift Box was replaced by a Gift Pack, losing the deck box.[4] In 2018, the Gift Pack became integrated with the reintroduced Core Set, and featured 5 exclusive cards.[5][6]

Gift Edition

Starting with Throne of Eldraine in 2019, the "Gift Edition" was deluxe version of the Bundle of the relevant set.
