Edge of Eternities Sold Out at Amazon: Don’t Panic (Yet)
Edge of Eternities sold out Amazon—yeah, you read that right. If you blinked, you missed it. Magic: The Gathering’s latest space-fantasy expansion, complete with shiny new mechanics and the triumphant return of Slivers, managed to fly off Amazon’s shelves faster than you can say “stack resolves.”
Why Is Everyone Freaking Out?
It’s launch day, cosmic horror is all the rage, and MTG fans everywhere are stampeding toward those sweet, shiny boosters. Amazon’s stock is basically vanishing—for the Play Booster Box, you’re looking at prices shooting over $163, and Bundles climbing north of $58. Pre-release Kits? Scarcer than a coherent Sims 5 release date update (although EA just told us why that’s not happening).
But What If I Want to Pay Less Than My Rent?
Here’s where not to be a chump. Just because Amazon’s gouging you with scarcity pricing doesn’t mean you need to finance Bezos’s next superyacht. Several major retailers are filling the void with actual, sane prices.
- Walmart: Play Booster Box for $159.99, Bundles at $55.99, and Commander Decks (World Shaper & Counter Intelligence) for around $49.
- Target: Bundles at $57.99, Commander Decks for $49.99.
- Best Buy: Bundles at $57.99, Play Boosters individually for $5.49, Collector Boosters for $26.99 each.
Translation: Unless you wake up every morning excited to pay the Amazon tax, you’ve got better options. And they ship, too.
But Isn’t MTG Just Cards?
Blasphemy. Edge of Eternities brings in the cosmic flavor with new goodies like Warp, Void, weird sci-fi tokens, and the infamous Slivers and Eldrazi. It smashes high fantasy with sci-fi so hard that I’m pretty sure even your backlog of unopened Pokémon TCG ETBs will feel inferior.
Should I Wait for a Restock?
Sure, you could play the waiting game… but just remember what happened to Pokémon TCG fans during the TCG Pocket mess. Prices didn’t drop, they soared, and you probably don’t want to mortgage your dog for cardboard rectangles. Hedge your bets by shopping smarter—these alternative retailers are the lifeboat, not the hold-your-breath solution.
Final Thoughts: Your FOMO Emergency Exit
If Edge of Eternities sold out Amazon sounds like your personal doomsday scenario, don’t panic. Amazon’s not the only game in town (or the best, price-wise). Shop around and save your gold pieces for sleeves, snacks, and therapy after you pull zero mythics with your last box. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to look at my empty Amazon cart and pretend it was part of some responsible budgeting plan.
