March of the Machine: Booster Box Prices & Sealed Products

Quick facts

Sealed products for March of the Machine

Draft Booster Box

Thirty-six packs of fifteen cards, each containing one Multiverse Legends card in a dedicated bonus slot alongside the usual rare, uncommons and commons. The battle card type debuted here and gave the limited format an unusual shape. Boxes run $175-$210.

Set Booster Box

Thirty packs of twelve cards, each with an art card, a guaranteed foil, a shot at The List and one Multiverse Legends card. Pricing is inconsistent across venues on this one: completed sales sit near $195 while TCGplayer mid and Card Kingdom price it at $305-$375, so shop carefully.

Collector Booster Box

Twelve Collector Boosters, each with five rares or mythics and at least three Multiverse Legends cards across foil, etched foil and halo foil finishes, plus extended-art, planar-treatment and borderless cards and a foil full-art basic land. This is the only product that can contain serialized cards. Boxes trade in a $900-$1,250 band, with completed sales near $920 and TCGplayer mid around $1,235.

Jumpstart Booster Box

Twenty packs of twenty cards across the set's Jumpstart themes, around $110-$135. No Booster Fun or serialized cards appear here.

Bundle

Eight Set Boosters, a foil promo, forty basic lands with twenty foil, an oversized spindown and a storage box, generally $95-$115.

Commander Decks

Five decks shipped with this set: Growing Threat, Cavalry Charge, Divine Convocation, Call for Backup and Tinker Time. Each is a hundred-card preconstructed deck with a Collector Booster Sample Pack and a foil-etched display commander, and they sell for $35-$75 depending on deck.

Prerelease Kit

Six Draft Boosters, a foil year-stamped rare or mythic, a deck box and a spindown die, typically $50-$70.

Chase cards and Booster Fun treatments

The serialized run is the reason anyone buys this set sealed. Wizards printed serialized, double rainbow foil versions of all 65 Multiverse Legends cards and of the five compleated Praetors, each numbered 1/500 to 500/500, English language only regardless of the booster's language, and exclusively in Collector Boosters.

The Praetors are the prizes. Serialized Elesh Norn has sold around $2,425, serialized Urabrask // The Great Work near $1,355, serialized Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis near $920 and serialized Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution near $900. The 65 serialized Multiverse Legends span an enormous range depending on the card, and most of them are worth a small fraction of the Praetor figures. Do not let a seller average those numbers for you.

Non-serialized singles are weak by comparison. Etali, Primal Conqueror is the strongest at roughly $32 in its base printing, foil Elesh Norn // The Argent Etchings near $26 and foil Sheoldred // The True Scriptures near $23. The treatment list includes halo foil on the planar Booster Fun cards, etched foil Multiverse Legends, borderless planeswalkers, extended art and the plane-specific art styles applied across the 65-card bonus sheet.

Is March of the Machine worth buying sealed?

The Collector box is a lottery ticket priced like one. At $1,000 or more, it is the most expensive in-universe Collector box of its era, and that price rests almost entirely on the possibility of a serialized Praetor. The base case is a box of $1 rares, a few $20 foils and no serialized card, because serialized pulls are rare enough that most boxes will not produce one. Expected value sits well below price.

The rest of the set is cheap for a reason. A $32 Etali is the ceiling outside the serialized run, and the main set's constructed relevance faded after rotation. The Draft box at roughly $190 is a reasonable price for thirty-six packs if you want to draft battles, and the Set box is worth buying only at the lower end of its scattered price range.

If you want serialized MOM cards, buying the specific card you want on the secondary market is almost always cheaper than chasing it through boxes. Sealed MOM is a poor hold: Wizards prints these sets to demand, the set was widely opened, and nothing in the main set has the reprint-resistant value that supports a sealed position.

How to spot fakes, resealed and mapped boxes

March of the Machine Collector Boosters are a mapping target for the same reason The Brothers' War was: a serialized insert changes the physical feel of the pack. Buy Collector Boosters only from sellers who open the box in front of you, and treat any listing describing single packs as heavy, thick or hand-selected as a red flag.

On boxes, look for tight factory shrink with clean machine seams, no adhesive haze or reheat gloss at the flaps, and no rattle. A resealed MOM Collector box is one of the most profitable fakes in modern Magic, so buy from a dealer who can show the sealed case, and photograph the box before opening if you are buying remotely. Counterfeit outer boxes exist; check box art sharpness and the collector information block against a verified reference.

Where to buy March of the Machine sealed

Local shops sometimes still hold Draft, Jumpstart and Commander product at shelf prices from years ago, and they are the only place you can inspect a Collector box before paying. Start with the card shop directory, and check card shows for Commander decks and bundles. Online:
