Secrets of Strixhaven is a 65-card supplemental set reprinting the most iconic Mystical Archive cards from the original Strixhaven: School of Mages, plus exclusive new cards. It is not a Standard-legal set, which means its value is driven entirely by eternal format playability and collector demand.
For Australian players, the AU$259.95 Amazon AU price point (at time of publication) puts the box at borderline EV at release. The key cards driving value are the foil Mystical Archive reprints, which include powerful spells like Counterspell, Swords to Plowshares, and Time Warp. These have strong Commander and Legacy demand but are also freely available as singles.
If you need specific Mystical Archive cards for your decks, buying singles is almost always more efficient than cracking boxes. The EV only favours box opening if you plan to sell the bulk commons and uncommons, which requires effort and time. Use the calculator above with your actual purchase price to see if the maths works for you specifically.
If you are a collector who enjoys the opening experience, or you are pulling for foil versions of specific Mystical Archive cards, the box has genuine appeal. The etched foil and special treatment versions can significantly exceed the average card value estimates above if you pull well.
