Magic: The Gathering Boosters on Sale at Best Buy

I don’t usually get excited about Magic: The Gathering deals unless they involve substantial discounts or the chance to pick up chase cards without selling off my fetch lands. However, the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has genuinely piqued my interest, and it’s not just because of my weakness for shiny foils and stitched-edge playmats. As with all DotD discounts, this offer is only available today, so grab those cheap boosters while you can. Let's dive into what's on offer and what I recommend picking up.

Let's talk about Foundations. This set isn't about dazzling us with lore about haunted mansions or squirrel uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, readable, and shockingly welcoming. I believe that's a big deal, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be dropped into the multiverse with zero context, so a solid on-ramp like Foundations is essential.

If you’ve never touched a deck before, the Foundations Beginner Box is a better teacher than half the humans I’ve seen attempt to explain Magic at a kitchen table. With pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, it's absurdly approachable. The Foundations Bundle is currently priced at $42.49, which is below market price and packed with boosters and accessories. It’s excellent value, especially since Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you plenty of time to understand what a stack is.

Then there's Aetherdrift, perfect for those who read the card Blasphemous Act and thought, “but what if we did more?” The Aetherdrift Bundle is now $34.99, a solid $16 off its usual price. It includes some of the more unhinged red spells and flashy threats to come out of Standard lately, including Marauding Mako (Magic's version of a landshark with anger issues) and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool popular in aggressive Pixie decks.

Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also includes some desirable chase cards if you're opening packs. I'm eyeing Rise of the Dark Realms with the new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, the Eldrazi with seven keywords that seems designed to cause rules headaches. And don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which can turn your Goblin deck into a math test your opponent definitely didn’t study for.

Yes, I noticed Ravnica Remastered is part of this sale. You can grab a Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve for $4.99 (down from $6.99), which is one of the cheapest ways to chase format staples like Crypt Ghast, Spark Double, and Divine Visitation. It’s a great price for anyone looking to open a lot of product or host a sealed event with friends.

Personally, I love Ravnica sets. I’ve always been a fan of guild mechanics, and Ravnica Remastered is basically Wizards saying, “Let’s throw all the good stuff into one nostalgic blender.” You get a mix of old-school Commander hits like Cyclonic Rift, weird-but-powerful tech like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art versions that will either delight you or make you question whether you’re playing Magic or flipping through concept art for a lost anime series.

I picked up a few sleeves myself, partly for the shot at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because I have no impulse control when it comes to reprint sets. You don’t need to justify $5 packs when they include Shock Lands and cards with infinite combo potential.

Magic: The Gathering Fallout Commander Deck - Science!

$33.99 at Best Buy

If you're already building for Commander or just pretending your collection isn’t entirely impulse buys, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99. That’s $26 off retail, and includes one of the better face Commanders from Universes Beyond: Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, who floods the board with Junk tokens if you build around equipment and auras. In my opinion, this deck is an underrated engine, and you get to play cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which sound like B-side punk albums but are surprisingly effective in-game.

I don’t usually care about playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they're dramatic in all the right ways without costing you as much as a new Commander deck. I think the Lotus one is low-key perfection.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm

While Magic: The Gathering’s big crossovers with things like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man might be stealing the spotlight lately, the next set in the line-up, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is already approaching. It returns to Magic’s own plane of Tarkir, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at five cards that I expect will be popular at the draft table next month. (The expansion is available to preorder now on Amazon).

Flip through the gallery below to see all five cards, and read on for a word from Wizards of the Coast about their design and the set as a whole.
