Magic: The Gathering Boosters on Sale at Best Buy

As a Magic: The Gathering enthusiast, I rarely get excited about deals unless they offer substantial discounts or opportunities to snag chase cards without parting with my precious fetch lands. However, the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has truly piqued my interest, and it's not just because I can't resist shiny foils and stylish stitched-edge playmats. Remember, like all DotD discounts, this offer is only valid for today, so grab those affordable boosters while you can. Let's explore what's on offer and what I recommend you pick up.

Let’s dive into the Foundations set. Unlike sets with lore centered around haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings, Foundations aims for playability, readability, and welcoming new players. This is crucial as we approach collaborations like Marvel and Final Fantasy through Universes Beyond. New players will find themselves in the multiverse without context, making a solid entry point like Foundations essential.

For those new to Magic, the Foundations Beginner Box is an excellent starting point, better than many human teachers at a kitchen table. It comes with pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, making it incredibly approachable. The Foundations Bundle, 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 understand complex concepts like the stack.

Aetherdrift is for players who enjoyed cards like Blasphemous Act and wanted more. The Aetherdrift Bundle is now $34.99, a $16 discount from its usual price. It includes some of the most dynamic red spells and flashy threats in recent Standard, such as Marauding Mako, a landshark with anger issues, and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool that's found a niche in aggressive Pixie decks.

Foundations also features some highly sought-after chase cards. The Borderless Rise of the Dark Realms and the Eldrazi with seven keywords, Sire of Seven Deaths, are notable mentions. Banner of Kinship can turn your Goblin deck into a surprise math quiz for your opponent.

I've always loved Ravnica sets, drawn in by the guild mechanics. Ravnica Remastered feels like Wizards throwing all the good stuff into a nostalgic blender, mixing old-school Commander hits like Cyclonic Rift, quirky tech like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art that might make you think you're flipping through concept art for a lost anime series.

I've picked up some sleeves myself, partly for the chance at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because I have no self-control when it comes to reprint sets. At $5 per pack, including Shock Lands and cards with infinite combo potential, you don't need to justify the purchase.

If you're building for Commander or just indulging in impulse buys, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99. That's $26 off retail and includes the strong face Commander, Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, who can flood the board with Junk tokens if you build around equipment and auras. This deck is an underrated engine, featuring cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which sound like punk B-sides but are effective in-game.

I typically don't care much about playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are genuinely stunning. At $16.49, they're both dramatic and affordable. The Lotus design, in particular, is low-key perfection.
