There's something uniquely thrilling about tearing open a fresh booster box in Magic: The Gathering. It's not just about the cards inside, it’s about the anticipation that one card you've dreamed of might stare back at you. Boxes aren't just products, they're portals into wider possibilities: building collections, drafting with friends or chasing rare treasures.
Booster Boxes 101
At its core, a booster box is simply a sealed collection of booster packs that can be used for play, draft or collecting. They're a staple for seasoned players and newcomers alike, offering a microcosm of a set’s offerings in a single purchase. There are three common varieties:
1. Play Booster Boxes: Typically containing around 30 packs, perfect for Limited formats or bulk collection.
2. Collector Booster Boxes: Smaller in pack count, but jam-packed with premium visuals: multiple foils, art cards, alt-frames, and sometimes even serialised, chase- worthy cards.
3. Bundles and Special Boxes: A mix of boosters with extras like lands, dice or promo cards, which are great for casual players and bargain hunters.

Edge of Eternities
Edge of Eternities is a standard-legal mainline expansion with a bold science-fantasy space- opera theme set in the Sothera system - situated at the frontier of the Blind Eternities. It embraces cosmic storytelling with warring factions, battles, exotic planets and cosmic-scale conflict.
The set ushers in several new mechanics to the Magic world, such as Warp, Void, Station, and Lander, offering fresh gameplay dynamics, especially in Limited and Commander formats. It's also rich in flavourful touches like the return of shocklands, reimagined Eldrazi, and novel creatures like Tezzeret, Cruel Captain and Cosmogoyf.
