Legendary Creature Enchantment - Demigod Athreos, Shroud-Veiled Indestructible As long as your devotion to white and black is less than seven, Athreos isn't a creature
Contents: Each commander deck : 1 ready-to-play deck of 100 Magic cards (2 Traditional Foil Legendary cards, 98 nonfoil cards)
Inga Rune-Eyes (Multiverse Legends Serialized) March of the Machine Market Price: $219.99 (via TCGPlayer) The rare uncommon card that is worth more than a number of mythics and rares on one of these lists, this version of Inga Rune-Eyes also hails from the Multiverse Legends bonus sheet, though the card was originally found in 2021s Kaldheim
Together with the 60-card deck, each Starter Deck comes with a standard Fabled Booster Pack with 12 additional cards of different rarity, a summary of the game rules with some strategic guidelines, a small paper playmat with a lore tracker and a few cardboard tokens to keep track of damage and Lore
I think that's worth the extra mana
