Draft night:
Draft night boxes are intended for a 4-player pod to use in a pick 2 draft format. Each player gets 3 packs, with each pack being opened one at a time. Each player removes all non-playable cards (tokens etc), then selects 2 cards and passes the rest of the pack left. This continues till all cards are taken. Same for the 2nd pack expect you pass to the right instead, then back to passing left again for the 3rd pack. Then using the cards chosen, the aim is to build a 40-card deck (basics of any type are free to add) and play against each other with them.
The box suggests winner vs winner after the 1st game to determine who gets the collectors pack as a prize. A guide on archetypes in the set is included and for my opinion on what to draft check out my marvel main set review.
Overall, the box is a great self-contained draft experience with 12 Marvel super heroes play boosters; 90 Marvel themed basic lands and 1 collector booster. It has everything you need to draft and even a prize to play for to make for an exciting and competitive night. You can always choose to share the collector's booster if you want a more casual relaxed night.
Bundle:
The regular bundle contains: 9 Marvel super heroes play boosters; 15 foil basic land cards with 5 full arts; 15 non-foil basic land cards with 5 full arts; an oversized spin down life counter and a foil promo card with bundle exclusive art.
The promo included is The Scarlet Witch: 2 generic and 1 red mana 2/3, with the ability to reduce the cost of high costing instants and sorcery spells by her power. The ability to reduce cost based on The Scarlet Witch’s power is great for decks that boost her stats as any power increases result in equal reductions to your high-cost instant/sorcery spells. A useful card in red high-cost spell slinging decks and unique enough to even consider as a commander leading its own red deck.
Gift Bundle:
The gift bundle contains: 9 Marvel super heroes play boosters; 1 collectors' booster pack; 15 foil basic land cards with 5 full arts; 15 non-foil basic land cards with 5 full arts; an oversized spin down life counter based on the mind stone and A foil full-art promo card with gift bundle exclusive art.
Daredevil, Man without fear: 2 generic, 1 red and 1 white man 3/4 with vigilance and haste. That lets you look at the top of your library any time, then when you attack you may exile that top card and give Daredevil +2/+1 until end of turn if the exiled card was a hero. plus, you can play the exiled card that turn. A great synergy piece in a hero deck with the ability to buff itself and grant extra card advantage through the exiled card. Overall, a nice card for a red-white heroes' deck with limited use elsewhere.
Drafting with bundles:
For anyone with plenty of basic lands it may be better to use the bundles for draft nights as you only need to add 3 more play boosters to get enough to draft with. This gives you the option to include a collector's booster or not and you get a bonus of the promo. personally I recommend that for anyone with ample basics at hand.
