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 interested, 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 delve into what's available and what I'd recommend picking up.

Let’s talk about Foundations. This set isn’t about thrilling you with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, readable, and shockingly welcoming. This is a big deal, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be entering the multiverse with little context, making a solid on-ramp like Foundations essential.

Aetherdrift, on the other hand, is for those who enjoy pushing boundaries. The Aetherdrift Bundle, now at $34.99, is $16 off its usual price. It features some of the most innovative red spells and exciting threats to hit Standard recently, including Marauding Mako (a landshark with a temper) and Momentum Breaker, a versatile mono-black card popular in aggressive Pixie decks.

I’m a big fan of Ravnica sets. The guild mechanics have always appealed to me, and Ravnica Remastered feels like Wizards has taken all the best elements and blended them into a nostalgic mix. You’ll find classic Commander favorites like Cyclonic Rift, unique tech like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art that might make you feel like you’re flipping through concept art for an anime.

I’ve picked up a few sleeves myself, partly for the chance at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because I can’t resist reprint sets. At $5 per pack, they’re a steal when they include Shock Lands and cards with infinite combo potential.

If you’re building for Commander or just indulging in impulse buys, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99. This is $26 off retail and includes Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, an excellent face Commander from Universes Beyond that floods the board with Junk tokens when built around equipment and auras. This deck is an underrated powerhouse and lets you play cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which sound like punk album B-sides but are surprisingly effective in-game.

I typically don’t care much about playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they’re a dramatic addition to your setup without breaking the bank. I think the Lotus one is quietly perfect.
MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm
While Magic: The Gathering’s big crossovers with things like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man might be stealing the spotlight lately, the next set in the line-up, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is already on its way. It returns to Magic’s own plane of Tarkir, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at five cards that are likely to be popular at the draft table next month. (The expansion is available for pre-order 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.
