Buckle up, Magic crew! 🚗💨 Today, we’re flooring it into the brand-new Aetherdrift Finish Line Bundle—cracking packs, chasing grails, and hoping to dodge a bulk rare disaster. Will this box be gas or straight-up fumes? Let’s find out!
Before we dive in, check out the full unboxing video below where I react to every pack, break down my pulls, and see if I got lucky. Spoiler alert: some of these cards are absolute fire. 🔥👇
What’s Inside the Aetherdrift Finish Line Bundle? (Full Breakdown)
Alright, so what’s actually in this thing? Let’s break it down:
- 2 Collector Boosters – Packed with premium MTG cards, foils, alt-art, and extended art goodness.
- 6 Play Boosters – Standard packs with a mix of commons, uncommons, and rares.
- 1 First Place Box Topper – A guaranteed exclusive rare with a gold foil finish.
- Oversized Finish Line Bundle Spin-Down Life Counter – A dope collector’s edition die with a racing flag design.
- 3 Extended Art Cards – Full-frame alternate-art versions of Aetherdrift cards.
- 15 Traditional Foil & 5 First Place Foil Full Art Driver Seat Basic Lands – Some of these lands are 🔥, others… well, we’ll talk about that.
- Mana Symbol Stickers – Because who doesn’t love stickers?
- Card Storage Box – It looks cool, but will it actually hold cards? Jury’s still out on that one.
I paid about $95 for this box (a bit over retail to get it early), but the real question is: was it worth it? Let’s rip these packs and find out!
Play Boosters First – Any Big Pulls? 🤔
I ripped into the first Play Booster, and right away, something was off. The rares were at the front of the pack instead of the back. Okay, Wizards, what’s going on here? I’m not mad, just confused. Anyway, onto the pulls.
First up—Thunderous Velocipede. This dude is fast, which fits Aetherdrift perfectly. Then, Far Fortune, End Boss—a rare that looks expensive (it isn’t, but hey, I can pretend).
And then… Unspring Sloth. Yes, a high-speed sloth. What. I don’t know why, but I love it. Oh, and I pulled it in both foil and non-foil, which makes it even funnier.
Then, I pulled Night Market Land, which—look, I’m usually not the biggest fan of the lands in this set, but these named lands? 🔥🔥🔥 They actually look sick.
Honestly, the Play Boosters weren’t exactly insane, but that’s what Collector Boosters are for, right?
Collector Boosters – Time for the Big Hits! 🎯
Now THIS is where things got exciting. Collector Boosters always have better odds at premium cards, and let’s just say… I wasn’t disappointed.
I won’t make you wait—here are the biggest hits:
| Card Name | Rarity | Estimated Value ($) |
|---|---|---|
| Memorium Plaza, Revered One (Full Art) | Rare | ~$12 |
| SP High Mech Cycle | Rare | ~$8-10 |
| Risen Necro Regent (Foil) | Mythic | ~$15 |
| Thornwood Falls (Foil) | Land | ~$3-5 |
These were some solid hits, but still no Radiant Lotus, Chandra, or Loot the Pathfinder. At this point, I was giving my Collector Boosters the side-eye like—REALLY?!? The gamble continues…
The Box Topper Reveal – HOLY $$$, Did I Just Get Paid?! 🤯
The Box Topper is a guaranteed rare, so this was my last shot at a big-money pull. I took a deep breath, ripped it open, and… BOOM! 💥
- Willow Rush Verge (Foil) – $37 💰
- Island (Gold Foil Variant)
A $37 pull straight from the Box Topper?! Let’s go! This definitely helped make up for some of the cost of the bundle.
Did I Make My Money Back? 💰
We all know opening packs is a gamble, so let’s do some quick math. I paid $95 for this bundle, and here’s the breakdown of my best pulls:
| Card Name | Estimated Value ($) |
|---|---|
| Willow Rush Verge (Foil Box Topper) | $37 |
| Risen Necro Regent (Foil) | $15 |
| Memorium Plaza, Revered One (Full Art) | $12 |
| SP High Mech Cycle | $8-10 |
| Thornwood Falls (Foil) | $3-5 |
| Total Estimated Value: | $75-$80 |
So, I didn’t quite break even, but I got some cool exclusives, a giant spin-down die, and the thrill of cracking packs. Honestly? That’s worth something too.
Should You Buy the Aetherdrift Finish Line Bundle? 🤔💰

❌ Skip it if you:

Final Rating: 8/10 ⭐ This bundle is a blast to open, but like all MTG products, it’s still a gamble. For collectors and pack-openers, it’s a fun ride. 🚀
