Let's talk about Foundations. This set isn't here to dazzle you with tales of haunted mansions or squirrel-led uprisings. Instead, it focuses on being playable, easy to understand, and remarkably welcoming. This is significant, especially with upcoming Marvel and Final Fantasy collaborations through Universes Beyond. New players will be plunged into the multiverse without context, making a solid entry like Foundations essential.

If you're a complete beginner, the Foundations Beginner Box is an excellent teacher—far better than many kitchen table explanations I've witnessed. With pre-constructed decks, visual aids, and a guided tutorial, it's incredibly approachable. The Foundations Bundle, priced at $42.49, is below market value and packed with boosters and accessories, offering great value. Foundations will remain in Standard for five years, giving you ample time to learn the ropes, including what the stack is all about.

Aetherdrift, on the other hand, is for those who read Blasphemous Act and thought, "But what if we did more?" The Aetherdrift Bundle is now $34.99, a solid $16 off its usual price. It includes some of the wildest red spells and flashy threats to hit Standard recently, like Marauding Mako—the landshark with a temper—and Momentum Breaker, a mono-black tool perfect for aggressive Pixie decks. Yes, that's a thing now.

Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve

Foundations also boasts some desirable chase cards. I'm eyeing Rise of the Dark Realms with its new Borderless treatment and Sire of Seven Deaths, the Eldrazi with seven keywords designed to give someone a rules headache. Don't overlook Banner of Kinship, which effortlessly turns your Goblin deck into a surprise math test for your opponent.

Yes, Ravnica Remastered is part of this sale. You can grab a Ravnica Remastered Draft Booster Sleeve for $4.99 (down from $6.99), one of the most affordable 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.

Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Collector Booster

Personally, I'm a fan of Ravnica sets. Guild mechanics always get me, and Ravnica Remastered is like Wizards throwing all the good stuff into one 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 might delight you or make you wonder if you're playing Magic or flipping through concept art for a lost anime series.

I've picked up a few sleeves myself, partly for the chance at Anime Borderless Bruvac, and partly because I lack 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 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—sounding like B-side punk albums but surprisingly effective in-game.

I'm usually indifferent to playmats, but these Mana 8 stitched-edge ones are stunning. At $16.49, they're dramatic and stylish without costing as much as a new commander deck. The Lotus design, in particular, is subtly perfect.

MTG: First Look at Cards From Tarkir: Dragonstorm
