The highly awaited Secrets of Strixhaven set for Magic: The Gathering is nearly here. Players will soon choose to align with one of the five Strixhaven Colleges. Along with college-specific prerelease packs and Commander decks, a new exclusive product tied to this school-themed set is also being released.
This marks the third consecutive Magic set to introduce a special product. The first was the Draft Night box, which launched earlier this year in the Lorwyn set, and the second was the Turtle Team-Up, inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The new product, called the Codex Bundle, seems to be incredibly popular, and here’s everything you need to know about it.
Release Date and Price
The Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle will be available starting April 24, 2026, aligning with the release of the main set products. Its retail price is set at $89.99. However, due to high demand, it has already sold out through many online shops.
What’s Inside the Codex Bundle?
The Codex Bundle offers great value, which likely contributes to its fast sales. Inside, you’ll find:
- Two Collector Booster Packs
- Six Regular Play Booster Packs
- One Codex Booster (which includes two of six possible borderless foil promo cards)
- 20 Basic Foil Lands
- One Spindown Die
- Premium packaging designed for the bundle
This bundle contains over $85 worth of booster packs alone. That’s before considering the value of the promo cards, which explains why it has sold out quickly online. Many copies are now available only through secondhand sellers for double or more the original retail price.
Promo Cards in the Codex Bundle
A notable feature is the Codex Booster, which contains two of six exclusive borderless foil promo cards. These are:
- Talisman of Resilience
- Talisman of Hierarchy
- Talisman of Curiosity
- Talisman of Creativity
- Talisman of Conviction
- Sol Ring
Each of the Talisman cards represents one of the five colleges at Strixhaven, fitting the set’s theme. Sol Ring, a classic staple in Commander decks, adds extra value to the promo pack. All these promo cards are unique to the Codex Bundle and are not available elsewhere.
Will the Codex Bundle Return for Future Sets?
While there’s no official word on whether the Codex Bundle will be reprinted, it’s very likely that similar bundles will return with future sets featuring a Strixhaven theme. The concept of Codex products is closely tied to the Strixhaven plane. Still, similar bundles may be created for other sets in the future, following this format and thematic approach.
