Magic: The Gathering Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Bundle | 8 Set Boosters + Accessories

Wizards of the Coast has decided to answer the package tampering issue with this bundle as there are two sides with removable tabs. You have to remove this first to gain access to the products inside. This means less chance of tampering as it would require too much effort to manipulate packages. It's the same for in-store purchases.The other issue is that these are now set boosters, which means cards from the List will be included in packs. Don't be alarmed if you open cards from past sets or from the Neon Dynasty commander sets. Some of the Neon Dynasty commander cards are only found in set boosters and collector boosters. I opened both Go-Shintai of Life's Origin (ND commander), Ruthless Technomancer (ND commander) and Hall of the Bandit Lord (List, historic card).I pulled Kaito Shizuki (Ninja showcase), The Wondering Empress, Otawara, Soaring City legendary land card.I've bought a few Dominaria fat packs from Amazon, and those seemed to have tampering with where the cellophane was loose and the packs seemed to be worn. Pulled nothing but low value rares in all 16 packs.My Forotten Realms was more inline with what I pulled from I pulled from the ND bundle.Wizards is trying to solve the issue with tampering, and Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty was the first bundle I felt fully confident in purchasing again. However, the promo cards in most bundles are bent a little. The same thing happens when you order from Secret Lair products, so it's a hit and miss. Best way to fix this is to sleeve your cards then place them under a stack of books or fill up the small card container in the bundle. This straightens the cards out quickly with damaging them.

The other reviews here must be new magic buyers. Unfortunately, “Pringle-ing” of foil cards is common and not unique to this set or these bundles. This is a FIXABLE issue — put them in a Tupperware with a Boveda pack and wait until it straightens out. The bend is a humidity issue and will not improve with you getting a new bundle.Addressing the one review who said they got 0 mythics. There is NO GUARANTEED pull rate in anything. Packs are randomly seeded with mythics according to the statistics, but NEITHER bundles nor booster boxes are curated, guaranteeing any amount of anything beyond what’re you’re guaranteed in a pack.This set is fun, unique, and easily has some of the best artwork of any set in recent memory. The full art lands do not come with the bundle as one reviewer expected — this is no different than Zendikar Rising where the full art lands did not come with the bundle. This is nothing new and I’m not sure why people are acting surprised. If you’ve been buying magic for a while, don’t let these other reviews dissuade you from enjoying one of the coolest sets thats been released in a while.

Only issue would be the twenty foil lands being slightly warped / bowed, which I saw with another bundle as well, so is probably an issue due to a bunch of foils sitting together for a year. The 20 non foil lands were fine despite packaged the same way as the foils. More importantly, the actual Set Booster cards were in perfect condition, which is what most are paying for! Were a lot of fun to open, very pretty art and neat cards. Got several mythic rare. A nice treat, coming back to experience magic after a decade break.

WOTC made another incredible set! So to be clear: the lands included are basic, run of the mill lands; not the full Japanese art lands. You have to open set boosters and collector boosters to get those. My bundle was sealed and came with cards worth the price. I do see there were some unfortunate souls who didn’t get the sealed product, which has happened to me in the past (but Amazon rejected my review three times for that product even when I had pictures).

Before I get into the bad parts of this bundle, let me speak on the good parts first. The cards are great. Amazing flavor, overpowered abilities, returning mechanics and creature types, and arguably the best art Magic has possibly ever had.To clear up some confusion for those who didn't scope this out before buying, the boosters can contain cards from The List which is a select set of cards from all sorts of different sets. Examples: I pulled an uncommon creature from Time Spiral, my friend pulled a sorcery from Eldritch Moon. I thought this was kind of nice. Instead of stuffing in an ad card for the mobile games, they give you something you can use and put older cards back into circulation.The last good bit is the spindown. This is the first oversized spindown I've ever gotten from a bundle, since I haven't bought anything since HoD, and I gotta say it's one of my favorites out of all the ones my friends have showed me. It comes in the scheme shown and that scheme alone, but each one is personalized and unique due to the blue and pink speckles being actual paint spattered over the die. To me, this makes buying another bundle in the future even more so worthwhile after spending years of getting the same generic MTG D20s for every set. It might be the same colors, but they're always just a little different.The bad part about this bundle surface when you open it only to find your 20 foil lands and foil copy of Invoke Despair bent and curved to heck. This isn't an old problem because I can remember getting cards bent up like this in my prerelease packs a few years ago. My only question is why? Why is it that only the foils arrive bent? Also, I'm gonna be that guy and say it. Wizard's....you only give us 40 lands per bundle when you used to give us somewhere between 80-120 in previous "fat packs" so why aren't they the absolutely gorgeous Ukiyo-E lands? Why does every set have to have the same basic lands as every other set? It's not like these things are hand printed either, they could be printed for as much if not the same as other lands. But apart from that, I have no complaints.Final thoughts? I've only been hyped for a set once before and that was Shadows Over Innistrad. It became my favorite set too. Kamigawa Neon Dynasty changed that entirely. Give it a try, Magic's fun again.
