For those who can't attend the event, there's the option of buying the Mystery Boxes. These products, described as Festival in a Box products, contain an assortment of boosters and decks designed to be a direct translation of the convention's experience.

For Barcelona, the products chosen were the Mystery Booster, Commander Legends decks, The Brothers' War Commander decks, including Draft Booster Displays of those two sets, Dominaria Remasteredlink outside website Draft Booster Displays and two single cards: Arcane Signet and Relentless Rats. These different products were divided in two bundles: the Commander Fan Bundle and the Drafter's Dream Bundle.

Considering the number of products contained in each of those bundles, fans have been stating on social media that these bundles offer some of the best deals for Magic: The Gathering currently, except for the Magic Con Minneapolis' Festival in a Box, which had a lower price and a few extra products.

Are They Worth It?

The overall value for these bundles is considerably higher than the price tag, even though it isn't as cheap as the Minneapolis' Festival in a Box, which ran for $270. The Commander decks in the Commander Fan Bundle alone add up to $221 on secondary markets and together with the rest of the products included, far exceed the asked price of $300.

For the Dream Bundle, all booster boxes combined average a price of $380, which also far exceeds the cost of these Festival in a Box products. And, there's still the added cost of the Relentless Rats and Arcane Signet singles, which drive up the value a little bit further for both bundles.

The other comparable product mentioned, Magic Con Minneapolis' Festival in a Box, had an extra full Secret Lair box and arguably contained "better" boxes, such as Phyrexia: All Will Be Onelink outside website.

Nonetheless, this is still a very lucrative deal for anyone who has their eye on the boosters or the Commander decks mentioned.

The Barcelona Festival in a Box's bundles were put on sale on May 18th and will be available for a limited time.
