MTG Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle: $99.99 on Amazon, $200 on TCGplayer

Amazon has the Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle for $99.99, while TCGplayer lists it at $200. We break down what's inside and whether it's worth it for Magic collectors.

MTG Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle: $99.99 on Amazon, $200 on TCGplayer

Are you a Magic: The Gathering collector wondering if the new Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle is worth your hard-earned cash? Preorders are now open for MTG's next Marvel crossover, Darkhold Destiny, and Amazon has already listed the Arcanum Bundle for $99.99, sold directly by the retailer. It's quickly becoming one of the most popular items from the new set.

Here's a quick price check: TCGplayer is asking $200 for the same bundle, meaning Amazon is $100.01 cheaper. But don't take TCGplayer's lowest price as the final word—there are currently only two sellers on the site, and we expect more listings to appear over time. So if you're keen, Amazon's offer looks like the clear winner right now.

So what's actually inside the Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle? You get a Collector Booster (which includes alt-art Arcanum promo cards and Full-Art Lands) plus eight regular Booster Packs. If you're the type of collector who chases fancier treatments—like source-material cards, silver foil versions, and Midnight Raised Foils—that's a nice extra bang for your hundred bucks. Just don't go in expecting a guaranteed chase Mythic Rare: the headliner Mythic Rares only have a 1% chance of appearing in Collector Boosters.

Personally, I think the promos are what make this bundle worth grabbing. You get three altogether: one traditional foil Mythic Rare, and two of six traditional foil promos—the latter being Arcanum cards with alternate art exclusive to the bundle. The remaining extras are 30 basic lands, including ten full-art Bifrost lands (five foil and five non-foil), an oversized Spindown life counter, and a dedicated storage box.

Now, is it worth $100? That depends on what you're after. Amazon also lists the regular nine-pack Bundle for $69.99, while Draft Night costs $119.99 with 12 boosters and a Collector Booster. If you're more about grabbing as many packs as possible, I'd advise those latter two being your top priority. The regular Bundle does have its own mechanically unique Mythic Rare promo, though; it's just not packing alternate-art cards and a Collector Booster like the Arcanum version.

Be that as it may, the Arcanum bundle is totally worth it if you want a good amount of packs and some exclusive foil promos to go with it—pretty much a must-buy for avid Magic collectors. There are currently no other listings outside of Amazon's $99.99 and TCGplayer's $200 listings, so we'd advise grabbing the former while you can before it sells out if you're keen.

As for Darkhold Destiny itself, first impressions suggest it's a definite Magic: The Gathering worth grabbing if you were a fan of the earlier Marvel Super Heroes set, or if you're simply catching up and want to try new crossovers. The story is another interesting one, with Dormammu and Hela using a page of the Darkhold to tear through realities and spread 'arcane nightmares across the multiverse,' as Wizards of the Coast puts it—all standard comic book-esque fun.

What do you think? Will you be picking up the Darkhold Destiny Arcanum Bundle at Amazon's price, or are you holding out for more listings? Let us know in the comments!
