Magic: The Gathering Boosters on Sale at Best Buy

I'm usually not one to jump at Magic: The Gathering deals unless they offer a significant discount or a chance to snag chase cards without trading away my fetch lands. However, the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has genuinely piqued my interest, and it's not just because I'm a sucker for shiny foils and stitched-edge playmats. Like all DotD discounts, this one's only available today, so grab those discounted boosters while you can. Let's explore what's on offer and what I'd recommend picking up.

Let’s delve into Foundations. This set doesn't aim to dazzle with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel uprisings. Instead, it's designed to be playable, readable, and remarkably welcoming. This is significant, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be thrust into the multiverse without context, making a robust introduction like Foundations crucial.

Magic: The Gathering Foundations Bundle

If you've never played Magic before, the Foundations Beginner Box is an excellent starting point, better than many human explanations I've seen at kitchen tables. With pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, it's incredibly user-friendly. The Foundations Bundle is also available for $42.49, which is below market price and packed with boosters and accessories. It's a fantastic value, especially since Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you ample time to master the game's intricacies.

Next, let's talk about Aetherdrift, which caters to those who read *Blasphemous Act* and thought, "But what if we went further?" The Aetherdrift Bundle is currently $34.99, a $16 discount from its regular price. It includes some of the most audacious red spells and dazzling threats to hit Standard recently, like Marauding Mako (essentially a landshark with a temper) and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black staple in aggressive Pixie decks. Yes, Pixie decks are now a thing.

Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also features some highly sought-after chase cards. I'm particularly interested in Rise of the Dark Realms with its new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, the Eldrazi with seven keywords that seems designed to give someone a rules headache. Don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which effortlessly turns your Goblin deck into a math quiz your opponent didn't prepare for.

Yes, I noticed Ravnica Remastered is part of this sale. You can pick up 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 price for anyone looking to open packs in bulk or for a sealed night with friends.

Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Collector Booster

I've always been a fan of Ravnica sets. I'm drawn to guild mechanics, and Ravnica Remastered feels like Wizards saying, "Let's mix all the best parts into one nostalgic blend." You get a mix of old-school Commander hits like **Cyclonic Rift**, quirky yet powerful tech like **Cloudstone Curio**, and alternate art versions that either delight or make you wonder if you're playing Magic or browsing concept art for a forgotten anime series.

I grabbed a few sleeves myself, partly for a chance at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because my impulse control vanishes 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!

Wizards of The Coast - Magic: The Gathering Fallout Commander Deck - Science!

1$59.99 save 43%$33.99 at Best Buy

If you're already building for Commander or just pretending your collection isn't purely impulse buys, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99. That's a $26 discount from retail, and it includes one of the more impressive face Commanders from Universes Beyond: Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, who floods the board with Junk tokens when you focus on equipment and auras. In my view, this deck is an underrated powerhouse, featuring cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which might sound like punk album B-sides but are surprisingly effective in gameplay.

MTG: Ultra Pro Mana 8 Stitched Edge Playmats

0$24.99 save 34%$16.49 at Best Buy

I'm usually indifferent to playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are genuinely stunning. At $16.49, they offer dramatic flair without the price tag of a new commander deck. Personally, I think the Lotus one is subtly perfect.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm

While Magic: The Gathering's big crossovers with titles like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man may be grabbing the headlines, the next set on the horizon is Tarkir: Dragonstorm, returning to Magic's own plane of Tarkir. We've got an exclusive first look at five cards that I believe will be popular at draft tables next month. (The expansion is available for preorder now on Amazon).

**Browse the gallery below to view all five cards**, and continue reading for insights from Wizards of the Coast about their design and the set in general.
