Where to Buy Ikoria Collector Booster?

Ikoria Showcase Cards

All of them are listed bellow – and they truly look stunning. Which one is your favorite? Tell us in the comments bellow.
Ikoria Borderless Planeswalkers
All three Ikoria planeswalker got an alternate art, which you can get in Ikoria Collector Booster. They look pretty cool and what’s even better – they all have home in Standard decks. Let’s take a look at them.

Ikoria Commander Card
Commander 2020 has come early this year. It was released alongside Ikoria set. However, the five Commander decks aren’t the only place to get these cards.
One card in the Collector booster will be from this year Commander set. Card will be in non-foil and could be any card that appears in the set (except probably a basic land). If you’re lucky you could get an Arcane Signet or even Gavi, Nest Tender.

Is Ikoria Collector Booster Worth It?
Okay, so now we know what’s in the Ikoria Collector Booster. The question is – is it worth buying them?
Well, it depends on what you want and like. If you just want to play draft, then it’s not the product for you. You just want a regular booster box of Ikoria, as the boosters are made especially for drafting.
Same goes if you don’t like shinny cards with alternate art, but just want cards for your Standard deck. You can also just buy singles.
However if you do like to expand your collection with premium and rare cards, then Ikoria Collector Booster is a great buy. Even with just one booster you’ll get 15 cards, either foil or with alternate art plus a foil token on top of it.
These boosters usually also contain some great legendary creatures and are therefore great for Commander players. And that’s without mentioning some great Commander cards like Ruinous Ultimatum and Triome lands.
So if you want to get one, you can order it on Amazon. As we mentioned before, if you’ll be buying lots of them, it’s a good idea to get a Collector Booster Box, which comes with 12 Collector boosters.
