Burger King Italy launched a Magic: The Gathering meal with Whopper-themed deck boxes and sleeves, exclusive to Italy and available through November 30. The Great Gathering Bundle includes a choice of a Chicken Krispper, a Double Cheeseburger, or an Impossible Whopper, with fries and a drink, for €19.90, roughly $22 USD. Each meal comes with a Burger King-themed deck box and 100 card sleeves, both designed in the style of a Whopper with an orange sesame bun pattern, a patty and layers of toppings. IGN reported that the deck boxes are rarely sold for under $20 on their own, making the accessories a good deal, but that the only way to get them is to visit Italy. Unlike the Pokémon Happy Meal, the collaboration includes no promotional cards, which IGN said could ease scalping concerns in the trading card market. IGN said it expects the boxes may become sought after online. Burger King is also sponsoring local Pauper tournaments in Italy, which IGN suggested is meant to grow Magic's audience in a new region. Early buyers have shared their purchases online, and one user praised the deck box but found the sleeves flimsy and cheap.
