5 BEST MAGIC: THE GATHERING GIFTS OF 2014

Happy holidays, everyone!

With all this merriment sprawling all over the world, some redditors are getting quite fantastic MTG-related gifts from their secret santas. One user even got 32 pieces of Treasure Cruise, with one of them being foil (oh, the value!), with another getting not one, but two holiday gift boxes. Anyway, here are the top five gifts that have piqued my interest the most:

5. Fate Reforged Booster Box Pre-Order

Fate Reforged Amazon Preorder

That's right, we have an Amazon pre-ordered booster box of the upcoming Fate Reforged set. It's basically a gift about an alternate past that redditor Snowden42 is going to receive in the future, about a month from now. This is definitely one of the priciest MTG gifts out there, relatively speaking. Let's just hope that the second set of the Khans block has more fetch lands, or any set of awesome lands. (link)

4. MTG Cake

What better way to spend the holidays than playing your favorite card game while eating a cake designed to look like the card back? Om nom nom! (link)

3. Infect Dice

MTG Black Infect Dice

As someone who prefers neutral colors, especially when choosing clothes, bags, and shoes, this looks really awesome. All hail the infectious creed of the Phyrexians, so infectious that it's still very much alive and kicking in Modern. It would probably be weird to receive this, and you don't have a single creature or spell that gives infect counters. Oh, Inkmoth Nexus! (link)

2. MTG Mana Symbol Shot Glasses

After gorging on all that cake and playing MTG with your buddies, why not settle down and get some alcohol and pour them in these fantastic mana symbol shot glasses? Or better yet, continue playing and the loser has to drink one shot. Or just make rules like each one has to drink if someone forgets how much life points he/she has. (link)

1. Dan Frazier Limited Edition Playmat

Dan Frazier Limited Edition Playmat

Last but definitely not the least, we've got a signed limited edition Dan Frazier playmat. Look at that ancient fire-breathing dragon, with all the bling it could ever ask for. I mean, really, all it needs now is a Black Lotus (or a Blacker Lotus) and it would be like the super mana Exodia. Speaking of that member of the Power Nine, the highest-graded Black Lotus, is still available on eBay for $100,000. Yup, there is currently only one BGS-10 Beta Black Lotus in the world. Cheers!
