For me, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about Magic: The Gathering since Wizards of the Coast brought out the Lord of the Rings expansion. Not only are we currently enjoying Marvel’s Spider-Man, but we’ve got Avatar: The Last Airbender next month and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in March next year.
TL;DR: Deals for Today
Hasbro and co. haven’t forgotton about it’s core audience either. Aswell as bringing in new faces to the massive TCG, Lorwyn Eclipsed is releasing in January, and will have players reminicing about Shadowmoor. MagicCon: Atlanta revealed some cards and new mechanics, with Planeswalker letting players in on the lore behind the new set.
It’s all very exciting, but the main worry for players new and returning is the price of entry. Don’t worry, ive got that covered below. Here’s where to get upcoming, new and legacy Magic: The Gathering sealed products at the best prices:
MTG: Cheapest at Amazon
There’s a handful of booster boxes available for slightly less at Amazon this week, but it’s a bit of a poor turnout for Magic: The Gathering players. Most of the listing on Amazon are above MSRP and higher than secondary market values, but the carosel above are good deals when compared to TCGPlayer.
MTG: Cheapest at TCGPlayer
TCGPlayer’s sellers are keeping away from the sneaker-heads and crypo bro mentality that’s hit Magic and Pokémon TCG is 2025 and is keeping prices down. Market value for MTG sealed product goes off what people are willing to pay, and it shows. There’s so much here that’s at a lower price than big box retailers it’s embarassing. But, it’s great for your pocket!
Blaziken ex & Volcanion ex Premium Collection
Blaziken ex & Volcanion ex Premium Collection

Trainers and collectors will get five Destined Rivals Boosters and five Journey Together Boosters in this bad boy, so that’s about the right kind of ball park for ten booster packs, plus you’re getting the promo Volcanion ex and Blaziken ex promo card and a jumbo version of Blaziken ex.
I think these promo’s would work great together in a fire-themed deck. Use Blazikens Seething Spirit to grab fire energy from your discard pile to build up Volcanion. In the meantime Volcanion can burn opposing Pokémon then use Scorching Cyclone for 160 damage then transfer all it’s energy to a benched Pokémon. So many possibilities here.
Poké Price Check: Mega Evolution In Stock
Mega Evolution seems to be a well-printed start to the next era of Pokémon TCG. I’m seeing boosters in convienience stores and some products on physical shelves, not to mention the Booster Bundle ($52.89), Gardevoir ETB ($88.81) and Three Booster Blister ($28.90) available on Amazon. Like the rest of the products in this carousel though, the cheapest is TCGplayer right now.
