Magic the Gathering's Bonus Sheets: Are they worth it, and why we love them so much!

Welcome back to Phased Out! In this episode, Tristen and Justin break down one of the most exciting — and controversial — features in Magic: The Gathering (MTG): bonus sheets. From Marvel MTG previews to Spider-Man, Avatar, and Lord of the Rings, we dive into how bonus sheets are changing the game for collectors, Commander players, and competitive fans alike.

We discuss:
-Why Wilds of Eldraine bonus sheets were such a hit
-The rise of confetti foils and insane collector pulls (Doubling Season, Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe) 💎
-The reprint fatigue problem (Explore, The Great Henge, The Ozolith, etc.)
-The hype around Marvel Reanimate, Venom Dragon, and Spider-Man cards
-Whether bonus sheets are really for players or just collectors
-Predictions for future sets like Avatar, Spider-Man, and the return to Lorwyn
-Our Top 5 favorite bonus sheet & special guest cards — including personal pulls and a wedding story tied to Lord of the Rings!
