Magic: The Gathering’s Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Box may have shot up in price after launch, but Amazon has now pulled the 24-pack box back below $150 for anyone still looking to start making some fun comic book-themed decks.
As of Aug. 3, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Box is available at Amazon for $145.88. This lowest-priced Amazon option is sold and shipped by third-party seller Gaming Universe Corp, with free delivery currently scheduled between Aug. 6-10 at the time of writing. Amazon also has several other sellers matching the same $145.88 price, although their delivery windows extend as far as Aug. 12.
For those who would rather order directly from the retailer, Amazon is selling and shipping the box for $150.79. That option is slightly over the $150 mark, but Prime members can currently get delivery as soon as Aug. 4. It is marked as a final sale with no returns, so make sure it is the version you want before checking out.

As is usually the case with these types of price drops, lower prices are available outside Amazon for those willing to shop elsewhere. Against TCGplayer’s market price at $125.44, the dedicated trading card marketplace has listings sitting as low as $115.99 plus $9.99 shipping — $125.98 altogether.
Inside the box are 24 Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Boosters, each holding 20 Magic cards. Every pack follows one of 51 possible themes built around Marvel Heroes and Villains, with the Land cards needed to play already included.
Among those two-dozen packs are plenty of pricey singles you can pull (or buy individually from TCGplayer) — including the Borderless Mind Stone, Thanos, The Mad Titan, Borderless Doctor Doom, and Ultron Artificial Malevolence.
For anyone who’s new to this type of MTG box, Jumpstart is all about getting you ready to play with just a couple of packs. Specifically, open two packs, shuffle them together, and you have an instant deck ready for a two-player game. The boosters can also be mixed with packs from the Jumpstart boxes of other Magic expansions, giving existing players plenty of room to try different combinations without constructing a full deck from scratch.
