The Tarkir: Dragonstorm Play Booster Box has a pretty ridiculous discount for Black Friday

I appreciate that the sale isn't best known for its MTG discounts, but Black Friday can yield some gold every now and then. I present before the jury exhibit A) this absolutely bloody stupid price cut on a box of 30 Play Boosters, with 420 cards overall.

Thanks to this year's Black Friday savings, you can currently pick up the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Play Booster Box for $99.99 at Amazon instead of the $164.70 list price. Is there some wonkiness going on with the suggested MSRP there? Yeah, almost certainly. But be that as it may, there's no escaping the strength of this $65 saving. It feels increasingly rare to see booster boxes for one of the best card games anywhere below $100.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm Play Booster Box | $164.70 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $65 - Following a very respectable discount last week, this dragon-themed booster box has crashed even further in cost. According to price-matching software, it's never been close to that cheap, with the previous record being £107.94. The average cost is also $114 or thereabouts, so it's strong value in every sense.

Buy it if:
✅ You want as many cards as possible
✅ You'd like to make Tarkir decks
✅ You're a fan of the dragon-themed Plane

Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather get a newer set
❌ Dragons never interested you

There are a few reasons why my eyes popped out of their sockets like a cartoon character at this price. Unfortunately for fans, MTG's pricing can be all over the place - retailers seem to raise or lower costs based on demand rather than MSRP, so hard-to-find products will balloon in price very quickly. That means gosh-darn genuine discounts are hard to come by. Even with the usually decent Black Friday MTG deals, this offer stood out like a sore thumb as a result.

Whether you should actually grab this booster box will depend on what you're looking for. Want as many cards as possible for the lowest cost? This fits the bill, and then some. It's hard to find such a good price on a current, Standard-legal set that launched within the last few months, and I've done the research to back that up. This is far from my first Black Friday, y'see.

As the name would suggest, those who like Tarkir as a Plane (or anyone that simply loves dragons) will also be well served by this offer. This set is crammed to the gunwales with the things.

Anyway, you'll definitely be getting enough cards to make a deck... or several. There are 30 packs in total, each with 14 cards inside, leading to a grand total of 420 overall. Phew.
