Hold onto your beans! MagicCon Chicago is barely a few weeks away. For those who can't make it (and even those who can), Wizards of the Coast has just about launched this year's Festival In A Box. It will go for sale around the time this article goes live! The product features a booster box of Mystery Booster 2, new exclusive promos, and even a new Secret Lair drop. Let's dive in!
Festival In A Box Has Some Cool Stuff
We have covered Mystery Booster 2 in much depth. The cards in the box are extremely varied and the contents are often quite sought-after. You may get some cards you never expected to see in paper Magic! This box may be the main draw for players to get their hands on Festival In A Box. And yet, there's more to be gained as well! For instance, look at this new Secret Lair to come with it: It's Animar & Friends!
