The last Magic: The Gathering set of 2025, Avatar: The Last Airbender, has been more positively received than the Spider-Man one before it, but Collector Boosters have still been tough to get hold of.
Not only does Amazon have them in stock for Black Friday, but it’s selling a box at a fairly good discount compared to just a few weeks ago. Look, it’s still an awful lot of money, but if you’re desperate for some of the set’s priciest cards, this is still the way to go.
Thanks to a Black Friday discount, you can save $55 off the (admittedly exorbitant) list price. That brings it down to $399.99 for 12 packs, which works out $33 per pack. Yes, it’s still a lot. Why buy these and not the more reasonably priced Play Booster Box (which includes 30 packs and is also on sale)?
The draw here is that Collector Boosters have foil and unique extended art variants of cards, making them a much easier way of getting a bunch of rare cards. We’ve also recently broken down the top 10 most valuable Avatar cards using data from the folks at TCGPlayer, so you can keep an eye out for any notable chase cards while cracking packs this weekend.
If you just want cards to play the game with, however, it's hard to argue with a 28% discount on a Play Booster box, now down to just under $150.
Only you can decide if the price is right for you, but given that these cards have been trickier to get hold of than an elusive, airbending Avatar, we’re putting them on your radar.

But, if you play your cards right, there are also a couple of amazing promo offers that could bag you this crazy expensive booster box for under $250. If you fancy saving a small fortune, you'll need to check if you're eligible for an Amazon Visa card (see here).
After signing up, you'll receive an instant $60 gift card credited to your Amazon account. This will bring down the total price to $339.99, which is well, well below market value.
One more thing before you go, Trading card game players rejoice; TCGPlayer is having a nice Black Friday promotion. From November 28 at 9 AM ET to December 1 at 11 PM ET, you can get 10% cash back in store credits on all purchases.
This includes both single cards and sealed products. Plus, if you're a TCGPlayer subscriber, you'll get 13% or more back (12% base plus 1-3% monthly loyalty bonus). That's pretty great, all things considered.
If you're looking to buy any singles, it's worth holding off until then to get the best deal possible.
