Home News "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 sacrificing my fetch lands. But the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has genuinely piqued my interest, 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 grab the cheap boosters while you can. Let's dive into what's available and what I'd recommend picking up.

Let’s discuss Foundations. This set isn’t trying to impress with lore about haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, readable, and shockingly welcoming. I believe that’s a significant advantage, especially since we’re about to see Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be dropped into the multiverse without context, making a solid on-ramp like Foundations essential.

Magic: The Gathering Foundations Bundle

If you’ve never touched a deck in your life, the Foundations Beginner Box is a better teacher than many humans I’ve seen trying to explain Magic at a kitchen table. Pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial make it incredibly approachable. The Foundations Bundle is currently going for $42.49, which is under market price and packed with boosters and accessories. It’s great value, especially since Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you ample time to understand what the stack is.

Then there's Aetherdrift, designed for those who read the card *Blasphemous Act* and thought, “but what if we did more?” The Aetherdrift Bundle is currently priced at $34.99, a solid $16 off its usual price. It includes some of the most daring red spells and flashy threats to hit Standard lately, such as Marauding Mako (which is essentially Magic's version of an angry landshark) and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool that has found a home in aggressive Pixie decks. Yes, that's a thing now.

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 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 can turn your Goblin deck into a math test your opponent 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 most affordable ways to chase format staples like Crypt Ghast, Spark Double, and Divine Visitation. I think that’s a great price for anyone looking to open bulk product or toss a few into a sealed night with friends.

Personally, I love Ravnica sets. I’ve always been a fan of guild mechanics, and Ravnica Remastered is essentially 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**, unusual 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 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 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 it 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.

MTG: Ultra Pro Mana 8 Stitched Edge Playmats

0 $24.99 save 34% $16.49 at Best Buy

I don’t usually care about playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they’re dramatically appealing without costing as much as a new commander deck. I think the Lotus one is understated perfection.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm

While Magic: The Gathering’s big crossovers with properties like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man might be stealing the spotlight lately, the next set in the line-up, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is already approaching. 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 for 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.
