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 just to today as well, so pick up the cheap boosters while you can. Let's dig into what's available, and what I'd recommend picking up.

### Wizards of The Coast - Magic: The Gathering Foundations Bundle
1$49.99 save 15%$42.49 at Best Buy
Let’s talk about Foundations. This set isn’t about dazzling you with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it's designed to be playable, readable, and incredibly welcoming. This is crucial, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be plunged into the multiverse with little to no context, making a solid on-ramp like Foundations essential.
If you're completely new to Magic, the Foundations Beginner Box is an excellent starting point. It's better at teaching the game than many human instructors I've seen, with pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial that make the game absurdly approachable. The Foundations Bundle, priced at $42.49, offers great value. It's under market price and packed with boosters and accessories. Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you plenty of time to master the game's intricacies.

Aetherdrift is perfect for those who thought Blasphemous Act was tame and wanted more. The Aetherdrift Bundle is currently $34.99, a solid $16 off its usual price. It includes some of the most explosive red spells and flashy threats from recent Standard sets, like Marauding Mako, Magic's version of an angry landshark, and Momentum Breaker, a versatile mono-black card that's found a niche in aggressive Pixie decks.

Foundations also boasts some highly sought-after chase cards. Keep an eye out for Rise of the Dark Realms with its new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, an Eldrazi with seven keywords designed to cause rules headaches. And don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which can transform your Goblin deck into an unexpected math challenge for your opponent.

Ravnica Remastered is also 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 hunt for format staples like Crypt Ghast, Spark Double, and Divine Visitation. It's a fantastic deal for anyone looking to open packs or enjoy a sealed night with friends.

I've always been a fan of Ravnica sets. The guild mechanics are a personal favorite, and Ravnica Remastered is like Wizards blending all the best elements into one nostalgic package. You get a mix of classic Commander hits like Cyclonic Rift, innovative cards like Cloudstone Curio, and alternate art that will either enchant you or make you wonder if you're playing Magic or browsing through an anime concept art book.

0$47.99 save 40%$28.99 at Best Buy
I've picked up a few sleeves myself, partly for the chance at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because my impulse control is non-existent when it comes to reprint sets. At $5 per pack, you don't need to justify the purchase when they include Shock Lands and cards with infinite combo potential.
### Wizards of The Coast - Magic: The Gathering Fallout Commander Deck - Science!
1$59.99 save 43%$33.99 at Best Buy
If you're building for Commander or just pretending your collection isn't entirely made of impulse buys, the Fallout Commander Deck – Science! is on sale for $33.99. That's a hefty $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. This deck is an underrated engine, and you get to play cards like Radstorm and Feral Ghoul, which sound like punk rock album titles but are surprisingly effective in-game.

I don’t usually care about playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they're a dramatic yet affordable addition to your setup. I think the Lotus one is understated perfection.
While Magic: The Gathering's big crossovers with franchises like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man are grabbing headlines, the next set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, is on the horizon. It returns to Magic's own plane of Tarkir, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at five cards that are sure to make waves at draft tables 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 insights from Wizards of the Coast about their design and the set as a whole.
