Should you pre-order the Duskmourn: House of Horror bundle in MTG Arena

The Duskmourn: House of Horror bundle is available for purchase in MTG Arena until S🍌eptember 24, 2024. You can pick up a 50-pack bundle that will set you back by $49.99.

The special bundle also includes some extra items, including Gold Packs, which are always pretty valuable to craft decks you want. But the pack isn’t cheap either, and it’s always essential to evaluate what you get for your buck.

Is it worth buying the Duskmourn: House of Horror bundle?

It depends on what type of MTG Arena player you are. If you’re strictly free-to-play, there’s no exclusive reason as to why you should spend on this bundle. If you want to really dip into your wallet, November’s Foundations could be worth looking into. It’s a unique set, and the cards will be available in Standard for at least five years after their launch.

If you’re someone who regularly invests money into the game, this bundle is worth its price. For one, I absolutely love the horror-themed designs of the cards. Based on the cards revealed until now, the meta in Standard will shift. Having 50 packs from the new expansion on day one will definitely help.

Even if your pack luck is poor, you’re expected to get a handy amount of rare and uncommon wildcards, and a few mythic at least. When I opened 45 packs from Bloomburrow, I received about five Mythics and three Mythic wild cards. I am expecting similar numbers from my pre-order bundle, especially since there will be five more packs.

You also get the Golden Packs, which can contain multiple Mythics in them (Golden Packs contain only Rare and Mythic cards). Kaito is an additional Mythic that you’re guaranteed from the bundle, along with his alternate card style. Whether Kaito can dominate the meta remains to be seen. If it does, you’re one step closer to building a meta deck while saving one more wild card.

This is what you’ll get for the same amount if you don’t pre-order.

• 9,200 gems for $49.99.
• Assuming they charge 200 gems for every pack, 9,200 gems will fetch you 46 packs.
• 46 packs will get you four additional Gold Packs (with a chance of maxing it out to 5).

If you were to purchase the packs separately, you’d end up with 46 packs for the exact cost. You’ll also get one less Golden Pack and there won’t be Kaito’s Mythic as well (you can craft it with a wild card).
