IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Burger King Italy has launched a Magic: The Gathering meal promotion called the Great Gathering Bundle, featuring Whopper-themed deck boxes and 100 card sleeves, available until November 30 for €19.90 (~$22 USD).
- The meal options include a Chicken Krispper, Double Cheeseburger, or plant-based Impossible Whopper, served with fries and a drink, but the promotion is currently exclusive to Italy with no plans for international expansion.
- The collaboration does not include promotional cards, avoiding region-locked card issues, but the deck boxes and sleeves have generated buzz and demand among MTG fans, with some praising the deck box quality while critiquing the sleeves.
- Burger King is sponsoring local Pauper tournaments in Italy as part of the promotion, aiming to grow MTG’s audience in that region and support the Pauper community.
- Content creators like Tolarian Community College are engaging with the promotion by featuring Italian pro player Andrea Mengucci, while fans worldwide watch from afar and debate the merits of fast-food collaborations with Wizards of the Coast.
