Save on a Play Booster Box of Magic: The Gathering’s Most Underrated 2025 Set

Magic: The Gathering’s first set of 2026 is here with Lorwyn Eclipsed, but don’t rule out 2025’s just yet.

Not only are Universes Beyond sets like Final Fantasy and The Last Airbender still Standard Legal, but Edge of Eternities might be one of the most tragically underrated sets of the last few years - and its booster box is discounted.

Amazon has a Play Booster Box for $139.99, a discount of 15% off the list price, netting you an instant collection of cards to build decks around.

Magic’s Edge of Eternities Set Was Underrated

For that price, you’re getting 30 packs of Play Boosters, which equates to $4.66 per pack - almost a dollar less than the list price.

It would mean nothing if the set wasn’t great, though, but thankfully, there are some fantastic ones here. We’ve got a full rundown of the most popular purchases, but with Icetill Explorer, Quantum Riddler, Cosmogrand Zenith and more, there are plenty of great options.

So, why the lack of buzz? In two, hyphenated words: Spider-Man. In pushing to build hype for its first full Marvel set, Wizards of the Coast started showcasing cards from the Universes Beyond: Marvel’s Spider-Man set in July 2025 at San Diego Comic-Con.

It makes sense to show them off there, sure, but Edge of Eternities launched on August 1. Not only did Spider-Man’s card reveals trample all over those from Edge of Eternities, but Wizards couldn’t stop talking about the set even after Edge of Eternities arrived.

This writer bought a Play Booster box for Spider-Man instead of Edge of Eternities, and let me tell you - this deal might be the best way to fix that mistake.

Disney Lorcana’s Full Release Schedule for 2026 Confirmed

Disney Lorcana has seemingly gone from strength to strength since its debut, with Winterspell marking its eleventh set when it arrives in February.

Ravensburger has been pulling from just about everywhere in the Disney pantheon of heroes and villains, and this one will give us some Christmas-themed cards… a little too late for the event itself (but still cute, nonetheless).

Lorcana Release Schedule 2026 - At a Glance

  • Winterspell - February 20 (Preorders Live)
  • Wilds Unknown - May 15
  • Attack of the Vines - Q3
  • Coco and More - Q4

While Ravensburger has confirmed some new products coming this year, the second half of 2026 still remains something of a mystery. Here’s all we know coming to Disney Lorcana in the coming months, and we’ll update this as we hear more.

Winterspell - February 20

Winterspell, as we mentioned, has the unenviable task of offering cards related to Christmas almost two months late (or ten months early, if you’re an optimist). The set launches on February 20, with a prerelease on February 13, and will introduce snowy variants of characters.

Alongside the sweet snowy designs on the covers, if you're curious what comes with each of these items, here's the breakdown: the booster pack sets you up with 12 cards, including six Common cards, three Uncommon cards, two cards of either Rare, Super Rare, or Legendary rarity, and one random foil card. Preorders are now live, with Amazon being the best place to buy right now.

If you're hoping to have a bit more than just the booster pack on hand, the booster pack display comes with 24 packs. And for a little bit of everything, the Illumineer's Trove comes with a card storage box, six card dividers, eight booster packs, six damage-counter dice, and a lore counter.

Expect Mickey Mouse, Snowboard Ace, to bump shoulders with Jiminy Cricket, Willie the Giant, and Lonely Resting Place pulling double duty as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Get ready for more card reveals in the coming weeks ahead of launch. TCGPlayer also has listings for individual cards, booster packs and boxes, and the new Illumineer’s Trove.

Scrooge McDuck Gift Box - March 13

While not tied to a fresh set, there are two new releases on March 13 which Collectors will want to be aware of. The first is the Scrooge McDuck Gift Box. It’s not up for preorder right now, but will include an exclusive Scrooge McDuck, S.H.U.S.H. Agent in Glimmer Foil, and five random booster packs.

The curious thing to note is that those packs are from prior sets, so you could get five from Winterspell, or you could end up with some classics. Up next, the Collection Starter Set has a portfolio adorned with Stitch, Rock Star, a Glimmer Foil variant of Stitch, Carefree Snowboarder, and four booster packs.

Wilds Unknown - May 15

With all due respect to Winterspell, this is the set that’s likely to take up a lot of the oxygen in Disney Lorcana’s 2026 release schedule. It’ll lean into cowboy fantasies, and who better to lead that charge than Woody himself, alongside Buzz Lightyear. Wild Unkowns marks a significant change for Lorcana releases, as the TCG leans more into Disney's Pixar characters, starting with The Incredibles and Toy Story.

This will also add new Prelease Kits to the Lorcana product pool, each including a promo card, dice, six booster packs from the latest set, and a deck box. Honestly, Ravensburger, you had me at Toy Story, but I’m excited to see the game grow.

I’ve also long lauded Gateway as a great starter product for new Lorcana players, but in May we’ll get also new 2-Player Starter Set with preconstructed decks, lore trackers, tokens, and some playmats, also as part of Wilds Unknown. This one launches on May 15, as recently confirmed, with prerelease from May 8.

Attack of the Vine - Q3

Looking further ahead, we don’t know a great deal about what’s coming later, but a few details have already been confirmed by the Lorcana team. Attack of the Vine, featuring characters from Monsters Inc and Turning Red, will launch sometime in Q3 2026.

Coco and More - Q4

Then, towards then end of the year, Coco is set to make its first Lorcana appearance, but we know little more than that. Disney’s possibilities are seemingly endless, though, and while Star Wars and Marvel each have cardboard appearances in Unlimited and Magic: The Gathering to prepare for, don’t be surprised to see the House of Mouse and Ravensburger pull out some even more deep cuts in 2026, and beyond.
