Join the expedition. Discover lost treasure.

I'm not quitting the game of Magic. I'm simply quitting paper Magic. I'm a dad of three tiny goblins and simply lack time and energy to physically get together with friends and play. I'm also a Commander player, so games tended to stretch (too) far beyond reasonable bedtime hours. I started playing on Arena and even if it feels like a less complete version of Magic, it fills the base need to play, allowing for a quick brawl match when the goblins are sleep-chewing on their boogers at night. I will admit I'm keeping a single commander deck sealed away for the one night in the year where the stars align perfectly and I'm able to get together with my buddies and play some casual commander. Also, I'm notoriously bad at deckbuilding, so all those singles are just wasted on a simpleton like me :)

Absolutely not. Expedition Boosters are actually a creative project I came up with to sell my entire Magic:The Gathering collection. The total value of rares and mythics in my collection alone exceeds €1300. I'm not keeping the best cards for myself; every_single_card is going into a booster.

I took the time to scan every single card in my entire collection of nearly 5000 cards. The total value of my collection is just shy of €2500, so statistically, every card has an average value of €0.5. That said, taking into account that commons & uncommons take up nearly half my collection and typically have lower average value than rares or mythic rares, I think the average value in every booster is very fair. Of course, if you prefer getting exactly what you paid for, you should just buy singles.

I scanned all my cards and sorted them into value brackets per rarity. My first idea was to completely randomize the cards in each booster and work with a tier system: one guaranteed x€-value card per tier. That, however, turned out to be a logistical and statistical nightmare. Then I just grudingly had to admit WoTC's booster types and composition actually kind of made sense, even if I think the value they represent is sh*t. So I decided to make 2 booster types and have each contain 14 cards, with added value slots in the expensive booster type. ChatGPT helped me make sense of the card distribution to ensure fair value for buyers and justifiable returns for me as a seller. I wil randomly pick cards from the different piles representing the value brackets until I have all 14 cards of corresponding rarity.

I’m relatively new to the Magic scene, so you will mostly pull cards from Bloomburrow and up. I did own a large collection of commander precons, some older, most fairly recent. I've torn all of them apart and added the cards to the pool. Some of the singles I purchased individually may be from older sets.

All cards are in English (bar a couple in Japanese); you will not pull weird Chinese or Russian cards. I am extremely careful with everything I hold dear, so all cards are in near-mint condition. Every card worth over €1 has been sitting inner sleeved in my collection. Whenever I lent a buddy one of my commander decks, I MADE them wash their hands before the game, even if my deck was double sleeved. So yeah, cards are in excellent condition and will be when they arrive at your doorstep.

Oh God no. Back when I first got into Magic, I purchased a guy's 350-card set worth over €130. I paid €35 thinking I made the deal of my life, only to end up with like 30-ish unique cards, each one having 10 or more duplicates. Technically speaking, the value was there, but from a user experience point of view, it sucked monkey balls. "Do not to others what you do not wish done to yourself", right? So no, I guarantee you that you will NOT pull the same card twice. Not in a booster, not across your entire order, not across any amount of separate orders you place over a longer period of time. My collection does contain some duplicates, there's no way around it. But the idea is to check every booster when it's assembled, remove any duplicates and replace them by other randomised cards from the same rarity and value bracket.

Yes, but keep in mind that I use AI-tools to generate all artwork. I am not a graphic designer in any shape or form, so whatever your request may be, I cannot guarantee that it will correspond to what you had in mind. Also, it goes without saying that I will NOT comply with requests that involve mature or graphic content. Also, I cannot comply with requests that violate copyright law.

Yes, I charge a flat fee of €1 per design request. Generative AI is not cheap, and I will probably need multiple iterations to get the design right. There’s also some work to be done in Photoshop, so the fee also covers the time I need to finalize your request.

Because I'm not Santa Claus. Depending on the destination, the shipping fee doesn't even cover the actual cost, so I'm already doing an effort to keep the cost reasonable. If cheaper options exist, I'll be more than happy to discuss them with you

I offer 2 options. The first is that you submit your order by mail, I post an ad on Vinted with your order and we settle everything from there. The other option is to do a SEPA bank transfer. If you want a different payment option, I'm willing to look into whatever you propose, but keep in mind that I will not pay commission or fees to any payment institution.

As long as the order is not shipped, you can cancel and get a refund. Once the order is submitted to the post office, the sale is final and I can no longer issue refunds. I will not make exceptions to this rule. I'm not trying to get rich quick or to rip anyone off. I'm just a guy trying to sell his collection in a fun way instead of dumping a stack of cards at his local game store for way less than the collection is actually worth.

Once your order is confirmed and paid for, I will print the artwork you have chosen and assemble the boosters. That should not take more than a day or 2. If you requested custom artwork that I still need to generate, add a day or 2 for me to get the design right. Once the order is submitted, use the tracking info for estimated time of arrival.
