Magic: The Gathering has plenty of Universes Beyond on its contentious 2026 roadmap, but Secrets of Strixhaven is a fan-favorite plane we can’t wait to get back to.
The set, which will feature a whopping five Commander decks, is getting a tie-in novel and sees us slinging spells with the students again, but if you’re looking to build an instant collection, you can grab a Play Booster Box at Amazon at a discount already – despite the fact it doesn’t launch until late April.
Save Money On Magic’s Secrets of Strixhaven
Amazon is offering a box of 30 Play Boosters for $149.99, reduced from its $164.70 list price. That 9% discount might not sound huge, but Amazon’s preorder price guarantee means if it drops even lower, you’ll pay less.
That makes each pack of 14 cards $4.99, down from $5.49, and if you’re excited about the return to Strixhaven, you’ll no doubt be grateful for it.
It’s also worth noting that, as we get closer to release, we’ll find a lot of the chase cards in terms of gameplay and financial value. Depending on how previews go, demand could pick up and make it harder to grab a box at MSRP, let alone below. You’ll have a better chance of grabbing a pricey card with a Collector Booster, but for actually opening cards with which to play the game, this is a great way to get an instant collection.
