For that price, you’re getting 30 packs of Play Boosters, which equates to $4.66 per pack - almost a dollar less than the list price.

It would mean nothing if the set wasn’t great, though, but thankfully, there are some fantastic ones here. We’ve got a full rundown of the most popular purchases, but with Icetill Explorer, Quantum Riddler, Cosmogrand Zenith and more, there are plenty of great options.

So, why the lack of buzz? In two, hyphenated words: Spider-Man. In pushing to build hype for its first full Marvel set, Wizards of the Coast started showcasing cards from the Universes Beyond: Marvel’s Spider-Man set in July 2025 at San Diego Comic-Con.

It makes sense to show them off there, sure, but Edge of Eternities launched on August 1. Not only did Spider-Man’s card reveals trample all over those from Edge of Eternities, but Wizards couldn’t stop talking about the set even after Edge of Eternities arrived.

This writer bought a Play Booster box for Spider-Man instead of Edge of Eternities, and let me tell you - this deal might be the best way to fix that mistake.
