Magic: The Gathering Boosters on Sale at Best Buy Today

I don’t usually get excited about Magic: The Gathering deals unless they involve substantial discounts or a chance to pick up chase cards without selling off my fetch lands. However, the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has caught my attention, and not just because I'm weak for shiny foils and stitched-edge playmats. As with all DotD discounts, this offer is only valid for today, so if you're interested, you'll want to act fast. Let's explore what's on offer and what I recommend picking up.

Let's dive into the Foundations set. This set doesn't aim to dazzle with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it's designed to be playable, readable, and welcoming. This is particularly crucial as we're on the brink of Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be thrust into the multiverse without any context, so a solid on-ramp like Foundations is essential.

If you're new to Magic, the Foundations Beginner Box is an excellent starting point, offering a clearer introduction than many human attempts at a kitchen table. It comes with pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, making it incredibly approachable. The Foundations Bundle, currently priced at $42.49, is below market value and packed with boosters and accessories. It's a fantastic deal, especially since Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you ample time to master the game.

Aetherdrift, on the other hand, caters to those who wish to amplify the impact of cards like Blasphemous Act. The Aetherdrift Bundle is now $34.99, a $16 discount from its usual price. It includes some of the most aggressive red spells and threats to hit Standard recently, such as Marauding Mako, which is Magic's version of an angry landshark, and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool perfect for aggressive Pixie decks.

Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also features some highly sought-after chase cards. Cards like Rise of the Dark Realms with its new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, the Eldrazi with seven keywords, are likely to cause some rules headaches. And don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which can turn your Goblin deck into a surprise math test for your opponent.

Ravnica Remastered is also part of this sale. You can pick up a Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve for $4.99 (down from $6.99), making it one of the most affordable ways to chase after format staples like Crypt Ghast, Spark Double, and Divine Visitation. This is a great deal for anyone looking to open a lot of product or enjoy a sealed night with friends.

I have a soft spot for Ravnica sets, always drawn to the guild mechanics. Ravnica Remastered feels like Wizards of the Coast blending all the best parts into one nostalgic mix. You'll find old-school Commander hits like Cyclonic Rift, intriguing tech like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art versions that might either enchant you or make you feel like you're flipping through a lost anime's concept art.

I grabbed a few sleeves myself, partly for a shot at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because I can't resist reprint sets. At $5 a pack, you don't need much justification 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 already into Commander or just enjoy collecting, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99, a $26 discount off the retail price. It features Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, one of the best face Commanders from Universes Beyond, who generates Junk tokens when built around equipment and auras. This deck is an underrated powerhouse, allowing you to play fun cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which sound like punk album B-sides but work surprisingly well in-game.

I'm not usually a fan of playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they're beautifully dramatic without breaking the bank like a new commander deck. The Lotus design, in particular, is subtly perfect.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm

While Magic: The Gathering's big crossovers with franchises like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man are grabbing headlines, the next set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is on the horizon.

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