Remember a few months ago when Wizards of the Coast released Magic: The Gathering: Ravnica Allegiance Mythic Edition exclusively on eBay? Well, they’re back at it again with their 81st expansion set: War of the Spark Mythic Edition. The latest set, which revolves around the epic final battle as Nicol Bolas tries to ascend to godhood—with only the Gatewatch and their allies standing between him and a dark fate for the multiverse, will also be an eBay exclusive.

Set your clocks for May 1st at 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET and bookmark Hasbro’s eBay store so you can get in on this limited release (here’s the direct product link that will only be active at the time of release). Similar to the previous Mythic Edition set, War of the Spark Mythic Edition will cost $249.99, but will be worth the higher price tag for fans wanting a custom drafting experience or folks looking for unique mythic rares (this set includes eight exclusive Planeswalkers with special card designs and full-bleed artwork). If you want a closer look at what to expect with a Mythic Edition set, take a peek at our prior unboxing.

No longer just the place for folks to auction off their Smurfs lunchbox, eBay has asserted itself as a destination for unique releases. Sam Bright, Vice President of Soft Goods for eBay North America said as much: “As the destination for all things new, now, and rare, we know our global community of gamers and enthusiasts will jump at the chance to add this limited edition set to their collection.”

If past releases are any indication, you won’t want to miss the latest M:tG release as it will sell out (limit 2 per customer). Whether you’re looking for a unique drafting/playing experience or for resale on the collector market, War of the Spark will be a worthy addition for any Magic fan.
