Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn, a figure skater renowned for her enthusiastic engagement with the card game Magic: The Gathering, recently received an extensive collection of products from Wizards of the Coast. This generous gift follows her viral moments at the Winter Olympics closing ceremonies, where footage captured her opening packs of Magic cards. The delivery included a diverse array of items, from recent booster sets to highly sought-after collector's editions, highlighting the company's recognition of her public devotion to the game.
Glenn's connection to Magic: The Gathering garnered significant attention during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Online videos showed her immersed in opening Lorwyn Eclipsed collector booster packs, each valued at approximately $35.14. Her February 22nd pull of a showcase Bloom Tender card, while notable, was soon overshadowed by the impressive package she received on March 1st.
In a subsequent Instagram post, Glenn shared the contents of the large box sent by Wizards of the Coast. She humorously acknowledged her considerable investment in the game over the years, stating, "I have spent an outrageous amount of money on cardboard." This sentiment resonates with many collectors who understand the allure and expense of high-value card products. The gifted items included various commander decks, special edition bundles like a Spider-Man gift bundle and a TMNT Pizza Bundle, more Lorwyn Eclipsed booster boxes, and exclusive Secret Lair drops. A particular highlight was a Phyrexia: All Will Be One Compleat Bundle, valued at over $300, which she noted is increasingly rare to find.
The Compleat Bundle's high price point stems from its unique contents, including 12 booster packs, 40 Phyrexian-themed foil basic lands, and a foil Phyrexian Arena promo card. Its main draw, however, is the Compleat Edition Booster pack, which features two "oil slick raised" foil versions of mythic rares. These exclusive variants, such as the Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines (valued at $129) and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (worth around $174), are highly coveted by collectors and are only available through this specific product or direct purchase of the individual cards.
Glenn concluded her video by expressing gratitude to Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro, showcasing the entire haul which also included commander decks from various sets like The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, Duskmourn: House of Horror, and Final Fantasy Limit Break, alongside a Modern Horizons 3 play booster box. The total estimated value of these items likely exceeds $2,000, underscoring the significant recognition of her passion. Her public engagement has undoubtedly shone a spotlight on the vibrant community surrounding Magic: The Gathering.
