Discounts may be appearing for other hobbies, but Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals have yet to kick off. It's a little frustrating, to be honest. Everything from Pokemon cards to board games are starting to enjoy price cuts, whereas MTG stubbornly remains at MSRP most of the time.

However, I suspect that's about to change. If previous years are anything to go by, we're in the calm before the storm right now. Traditionally speaking, Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals are your best chance of building your collection (or starting one) for less. With Foundations - a more accessible entry-point to the franchise - upon us at last, it's an opportunity I don't see any retailers ignoring.

Just stay ready. Considering how MTG is amongst the best card games, these savings can be snapped up fast. That's why the 12DOVE team and I will be bringing you all the latest, greatest price cuts as they appear. You'll also find plenty of advice below to help you stay one step ahead of the crowd.

When will the Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals start?

MTG might change every couple of months, but Black Friday is more predictable. It occurs after Thanksgiving and on the final Friday of November, which means we can expect this year's Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals to take place on November 29, 2024.

However, don't expect the sale to be limited to that one day. Rather, they'll probably start earlier and end later - at least, if previous years are anything to go by.

Where will the best Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals be?

Finding the 'best' offers will depend on what you're looking for. Although the big retailers will be well worth watching during this year's Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals, they tend to emphasize bundles, Commander decks, and massive booster boxes from the latest sets. That's why smaller, independent stores are great options to keep up your sleeve - they often provide discounts on individual cards and are competitive in terms of price.

- Target: Offers MTG merch and new sets

UK

Despite being better known for reductions on electrical goods like laptops or TVs, Black Friday savings go far beyond the world of tech. Along with board games, Lego, and D&D books, MTG sets of all kinds are included. that includes MTG sets of all kinds.

Here's a better idea of what you can expect:

👑 Commander decks new and old get eyecatching price cuts
MTG's most popular format always enjoys a price cut or two when Black Friday rolls around. Although you're less likely to get big reductions on brand-new, fresh-off-the-press sets, most Commander decks will be a few months old by the time the sales arrive. That means we should be able to expect $10 or more off the sticker price (or beyond, if it's an older release).

🕐 Some of the best offers will be on old sets
While most eyes will be on Duskmourn and Bloomburrow, it's worth checking out older sets as well. These commonly enjoy some of the biggest reductions, with the likes of Innistrad: Crimson Vow being significantly discounted last year.

⭐ The best savings are on booster boxes
This won't surprise MTG veterans, but the best Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals tend to be on booster boxes. You can save $40 or more on these booster collections if you're lucky, providing far better value for money than you'd usually find.
