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 pawning my fetch lands. But the current Best Buy Deal of the Day has me genuinely intrigued, and it's not just because I have a weakness for shiny foils and stitched-edge playmats. As with all DotD discounts, this offer is limited to today only, so you'll want to grab those affordable boosters while you still can. Let's dive into what's on offer and what I recommend picking up.

Let's talk about Foundations. This set doesn't aim to dazzle with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, readable, and surprisingly welcoming. This is a significant advantage, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be entering the multiverse without prior context, making a solid on-ramp like Foundations essential.

If you've never touched a deck in your life, the Foundations Beginner Box is a better teacher than most people I've seen trying to explain Magic at a kitchen table. It comes with pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, making it incredibly approachable. Additionally, the Foundations Bundle is available for $42.49, which is under 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 plenty of time to learn the ins and outs of the game, like understanding what the "stack" is.

Now, let's turn to Aetherdrift, designed for players who look at cards like *Blasphemous Act* and think, "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 wild red spells and flashy threats recently released in Standard, such as Marauding Mako (Magic's version of an angry landshark) and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool that's found a niche in aggressive Pixie decks. Yes, that's a thing now.
Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also offers some desirable chase cards if you're cracking packs. I'm particularly 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 cause rules headaches. Don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which can turn your Goblin deck into an unexpected 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 price for anyone looking to open bulk product or enjoy a sealed night with friends.

Personally, I love Ravnica sets. I've always been drawn to guild mechanics, and Ravnica Remastered feels like Wizards throwing all the good stuff into a nostalgic blender. You get a mix of old-school Commander hits like **Cyclonic Rift**, odd-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 can't resist 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 entirely 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 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 truly beautiful. At $16.49, they make a dramatic statement without costing as much as a new commander deck. I think the Lotus one is subtly perfect.
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 lineup, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is already on the horizon. It brings us back to Magic’s own plane of Tarkir, and 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).
