Magic: The Gathering is offering an unprecedented three crossovers in its 2025 release calendar. The Final Fantasy’s set was the biggest launch in the trading card game's long history, and Spider-Man is up next.
Time waits for no one, though, and spoilers have already begun for Avatar: The Last Airbender’s set, due to launch in November. Better yet, preorders are now live for sealed products, and here’s where you can get them.
Play Boosters and Bundles
Play Boosters return, but things are a little up in the air(bender) at the moment because individual packs aren’t available just yet, at least in the US.
UK players can pre-order Play Boosters on their own, but at the moment, US customers can only preorder a box of 30 packs for $189.99 at Best Buy.
As is the case with Spider-Man (and most Magic sets), there’s a new Bundle coming, too. This $69.99 set includes nine Play Boosters, 15 foil and 15 non-foil lands, 1 spindown life counter, and a Foil promo card.
Collector Boosters
We know Collector Boosters will return, but we’re waiting for confirmed pricing. They’ll be available in boxes of 12 packs.
Expect them to be the best place to get rare, chase cards, but to cost considerably more than Play Boosters. They are also highly likely to sell out fast, so snag these up ASAP to avoid disappointment.
Beginner Box
For the first time since Foundations, a Beginner Box will offer an entry-level product for Avatar fans who want to check out Magic: The Gathering.
We’re waiting for US pricing, but we know it will offer Jumpstart decks that can be mixed and matched to allow players to learn to play as Aang or Zuko.
Scene Box
Following on from the Spider-Man Scene Box, Avatar: The Last Airbender’s version will come in two options: The Black Sun Invasion, and Tea Time At The Jasmine Dragon.
Each includes a series of cards to be displayed together to make a scene, but also a trio of Play Boosters to help kickstart your collection. Best Buy has them for $41.99 each.
Where Are The Commander Decks?
Commander’s Bundle Explained
As with Marvel’s Spider-Man, there are no Avatar Commander Decks, but a new product type, the Commander’s Bundle, aims to fill the gap somewhat.
This bundle contains 9 Play Boosters and one Collector Booster, and also includes classic Commander staples like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Swiftfoot Boots, and more.
It costs $109.99 to preorder from Best Buy.
Jumpstart Boosters
While not yet available for preorder (in the US at least), Jumpstart Boosters return for Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The idea is simple: Players take two packs of cards, put them together, and make an instantly-playable deck. It’ll be available in Booster Boxes or as individual packs.
UK Preorders
Curiously, Amazon UK has more products available than any other retailer at the time of writing.
- Beginner Box - £28.99
- Play Booster (Individual) - £5.99
- Play Booster Box (30 Packs) - £174.99
- Jumpstart Booster Box (24 Packs) - £104.99
