At the same time, there are plenty of affordable options for budget-conscious collectors. Cards like Sazh’s Chocobo ($1.96), Tonberry ($2.49), Summon: Shiva ($1.56), and Gladiolus Amicitia (33 cents) make it easy to start building your collection without breaking the bank.
For those looking to invest, TCG Player also offers preorders for select booster sets, though prices are slightly above MSRP. Options include the nine-booster bundle ($87.99) and the 30-pack Play Booster Display box ($164.99), both with free shipping.
The Starter Kit itself is a great entry point, featuring preconstructed decks with no boosters to open. Instead, it includes one traditional foil legendary creature, five debut cards, and 54 cards from the main set. Plus, you'll receive four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards, and two deck boxes—all for just $20.
