Amonkhet Planeswalker Deck
Planeswalker Decks familiarize players who are interested in Magic with basic strategy as well as the setting, characters, and themes of the latest set. Each deck comes with a premium foil Planeswalker card that is likely to appeal to newer and veteran players.
Tips of the Trade:
After new players have learned the basics of Magic through either Magic Duels or Welcome Decks, Planeswalker Decks are their best first purchase for them to successfully grow into the game.
- 1 Ready-to-play 60-card deck, featuring a foil premium Planeswalker card
- 2 Amonkhet booster packs
- 1 Strategy insert
- 1 Magic learn-to-play guide
Amonkhet Planeswalker Deck Display
Planeswalker Decks come in displays of six (two different decks, three copies each).
Tips of the Trade:
Your Amonkhet Prerelease allocation will include a fixed number of Planeswalker Decks. Use those decks for Open Dueling at Prerelease. It's a great option for new players.
6 Planeswalker Decks (two different decks, three copies each).
Amonkhet Deck Builder's Toolkit
Once a new player understands Magic's basic rules, the Deck Builder's Toolkit jumpstarts their collection and introduces them to deckbuilding.
Tips of the Trade:
Chimera Nottingham takes care to pair newer players with the product that matches their stage of development. Planeswalker Decks are a player's first purchase; the Deckbuilder's Toolkit is their second. The array of semi-randomized cards and boosters give players their first opportunity to explore new decks and strategies.
- 125 semi-randomized cards
- 4 fifteen-card booster packs from recent Magic sets
- 100 basic land cards, including 25 full-art basic lands
- 1 deck builder's guide
- 1 Magic quick reference card
- 1 full-art reusable card storage box
Amonkhet Booster Pack
For an engaged player, booster packs are the basic unit of Magic. They're used to play Limited formats, like Booster Drafts, as well as to build a collection of cards for use in Constructed formats, like Standard.
Tips of the Trade:
Booster packs are often used as rewards at Magic events. Stores like The Dragon and Shortstops have had success creating a more relaxed environment by spreading rewards amongst as many players as possible, rather than rewarding just the top performers.
Amonkhet Booster Display
It’s a common ritual for engaged players to celebrate a new set by picking up a full booster display—a box of thirty-six booster packs that can be used to play Limited formats, like Booster Drafts and Sealed Deck.
Tips of the Trade:
To help promote and sell booster displays, take advantage of our buy-a-box program!
The Buy-a-Box promotion provides an added incentive to encourage in-store sales of booster displays. Customers can earn a special alternate art premium promo card for preordering or purchasing a booster display in your store! Sign up in Wizards Event Reporter during the designated window.
Amonkhet Bundle
The Amonkhet Bundle lets engaged players dive into the new set, with boosters to help update their decks for the new Standard environment, plus a Player’s Guide complete with a set overview and a visual encyclopedia of every card in the set.
Tips of the Trade:
The Bundle helps further engage players into Magic with the Player’s Guide. The guide includes profiles of key characters and scenes, important story moments, explanations of new mechanics and themes, and a complete set encyclopedia.
- 10 Amonkhet booster packs
- 1 Card box
