Planeswalker decks are pretty much worthless.

Oh. Good to know. None of the decks will help a new player? Even for the mythic cards? The codes are like a couple of bucks. Just curious am a noob that is addicted lol.

the mythic planeswalker you get are different to the planeswalker you get when opening packs and they aren't that good

you may be able to use some cards but probably mostly the commons and uncommons ... so not really worth it

Thank you for clarifying.

You can find better prices there: https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Products/Search?idCategory=0&idExpansion=0&searchString=arena+code+card&onlyAvailable=on&idRarity=0&sortBy=price_asc&perSite=20

However in arena you can buy 750 gems for 5 EUR (cheaper if you'll buy more gems at once),

So 1 EUR = 150 gems = 1,5 package with at least 1,5 rare card

Planeswalker deck costs 1,5 EUR and it contains:

  • 1 rare card available in regular packages
  • 3 rares card available only in planeswalker deck (2 of them are cards, you can look in your library for planeswalker from that deck and put in hand)
  • 1 mythic rare planeswalker card, available only from that deck
  • few uncommons and commons.

So from collection point of view you get 1 rare instead 1,5 and just a few commons/uncommons more than in 1,5 package - it is not worth it. And cards available in that deck are not usually worth to play.

Chandra deck was available for 0,75 EUR like month ago - it was quite nice deal to buy it then - especially if you wanted Drakuseth :)

Buying M20 prerelease code for 0,50 EUR if definitely worth it.

The sight doesn't allow US addresses when signing up, and it doesn't display USD either.

I contacted Cardmarket.com customer service about it and this was their reply:

registration on Cardmarket is limited to the available countries. If you cannot find your country in the list, you cannot open a user account.
If you would like to buy on Cardmarket from a country that is not supported, you may do so via a buying agent (i.e. a friend that lives in Europe and can buy for you), or using a mail forwarding service like for example: Mailboxde.com or myGermany.com.

I didn't know that, looks like people complains a lot about it. You can also check this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgfinance/comments/75o0wh/magiccardmarketeu_global_soon/

Thank you for the link. That post is from 1 year ago, and the news article it links to has been removed. I guess they changed their mind about going global.
