<p>Running from June 20th through June 22nd, MagicCon Las Vegas is just around the corner! While badges are currently on sale, some people understandably can't make it to Nevada for a <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> convention. What's a <em>Magic</em> player to do? Well, tomorrow, you can fret much less about fear of missing out on the convention! MagicCon Las Vegas's <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/festival-in-a-box">Festival In A Box</a> goes on sale on Monday, May 19th at 9 AM Pacific Time (or Noon Eastern Time).</p>
<p>But what does this event's Festival In A Box contain? Read on, and we'll outline it for you.</p>
<h2>Festival In A Box Contents</h2>
<p>The Festival In A Box for MagicCon Las Vegas has a few really cool things going for it. There's a <em>Mystery Booster 2</em> booster box, exclusive promotional cards, and even a super-exclusive <em>Secret Lair</em> drop! Let's dive into the particulars:</p>
<h3><em>Mystery Booster 2</em></h3>
<p>To start, the Festival In A Box package contains <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">an <em>MB2</em> box</span>. This set is a conglomerate of practically all sets up to a certain point, with some of the wildest cards from each within its bounds. Beyond this, each pack has card slots for "Futureshifted" cards (AKA cards with the special frame from <em>Future Sight</em>), white bordered reprints, and even a playtest card! There's even a slim (yet still nonzero) chance that you could find foil cards that, financially, could make up a large chunk of the cost of the package.</p>
<p>Truly, <em>Mystery Booster 2</em> is a unique Limited experience, to say nothing of how awesome many of the reprints in the set are. If you want to know more about <em>Mystery Booster 2</em>, <a href="https://commandersherald.com/mystery-booster-2-contents-fully-revealed-by-wizards/">Commander's Herald</a> covered this set's breakdown in a big way when it released.

<h3>MagicCon Las Vegas Exclusive <em>Secret Lair: Slay the Day</em></h3>
<p>The next thing we'll discuss is <em>Slay the Day</em>, the <em>Secret Lair</em> drop exclusive to this Festival In A Box. This drop contains four cards with stunning art illustrated by <a href="https://craigdrakeart.com/"><strong>Craig Drake</strong></a>. The cards in this drop are:</p>

<p>Currently, there's no word on whether or not there's a bonus card included with <em>Slay the Day</em>, but it's not improbable!</p>
