Amazon has launched a series of early Black Friday sales on Magic: The Gathering Play Booster Boxes, featuring discounts across several popular Universes Beyond crossover sets and established Universes Within properties. The timing aligns with an apparent surge in the long-running card game's popularity, fueled in part by these themed crossover releases.
Among the notable deals is a 26% discount on the upcoming Star Trek Play Booster Box, which is set to launch soon. While these are Play Booster Boxes, distinct from the more premium Collector Boosters, they offer a cost-effective way for players and collectors to acquire cards.
Discounts extend to other Universes Beyond sets, including Marvel's Spider-Man and Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Marvel Super Heroes set, for instance, is available for $149.99, a reduction from its initial MSRP. The Hobbit Play Booster Box sees a 23% discount, priced at $161.93, and the Avatar: The Last Airbender set of 30 packs is available for $139.99.
For players interested in the core Magic: The Gathering sets, several Universes Within Play Booster Boxes are also on sale. The Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Box is currently priced at $118, though potential buyers might consider waiting for further Black Friday markdowns. The Secrets of Strixhaven set, noted for its quality, is available with a 21% discount, bringing a 30-pack box to $129.99. The most recent set, Reality Fracture, is also discounted, available from a third-party seller for $153.98.
These promotions come as Wizards of the Coast continues to expand Magic: The Gathering's reach with new sets and collaborations, including upcoming releases in 2025 and further Marvel-themed content.
