"Magic: The Gathering Boosters on Sale at Best Buy"

I don’t usually get excited about Magic: The Gathering deals unless they involve a substantial discount or a chance to pick up chase cards without selling my fetch lands. But the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has me genuinely intrigued, and not just because I’m weak in the face of shiny foils and stitched-edge playmats. As with all DotD discounts, this is limited to today only, so you'll want to grab those cheap boosters while you can. Let’s dive into what’s on offer and what I’d recommend picking up.

Let’s start with Foundations. This set doesn’t aim to impress with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, readable, and surprisingly welcoming. I think that’s a big deal, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be dropped into the multiverse without context, so a solid on-ramp like Foundations is essential.

If you’ve never played Magic before, the Foundations Beginner Box is better than most human attempts to teach the game at a kitchen table. With pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, it makes the game incredibly approachable. The Foundations Bundle, available for $42.49, is under market price and packed with boosters and accessories. It’s a great value, particularly since Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you ample time to master the game.

Then there's Aetherdrift, perfect for those who read Blasphemous Act and thought, "But what if we did more?" The Aetherdrift Bundle is currently $34.99, a solid $16 off its usual price. It includes some of the most daring red spells and flashy threats to hit Standard recently, such as Marauding Mako, Magic's version of an angry landshark, and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool popular in aggressive Pixie decks. Yes, that’s a thing now.

Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also boasts some desirable chase cards. I’m eyeing Rise of the Dark Realms with its new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, an Eldrazi with seven keywords designed to give players a rules headache. Don’t overlook Banner of Kinship, which turns your Goblin deck into a surprise math test for your opponent.

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 most cost-effective ways to chase format staples like Crypt Ghast, Spark Double, and Divine Visitation. It's a great deal for anyone looking to open bulk product or enjoy a sealed night with friends.

Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Collector Booster

Personally, I love Ravnica sets. I’ve always been a fan of guild mechanics, and Ravnica Remastered is Wizards' way of blending all the good stuff into a nostalgic mix. You get a blend of old-school Commander hits like Cyclonic Rift, quirky yet powerful tech like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art versions that might delight you or make you wonder if you’re playing Magic or flipping through concept art for a lost anime series.

I picked up a few sleeves myself, partly for the chance 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!

1$59.99 save 43%$33.99 at Best Buy

If you're building for Commander or just admitting your collection is mostly 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 when built around equipment and auras. In my opinion, this deck is an underrated engine, featuring 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 genuinely stunning. At $16.49, they offer dramatic flair without breaking the bank. I think the Lotus one is quietly perfect.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm

While Magic: The Gathering’s big crossovers with Final Fantasy and Spider-Man might be stealing the spotlight lately, the next set in the line-up, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is already on its way. Returning to Magic’s own plane of Tarkir, 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.
