Magic: The Gathering is having a banner year, helping Hasbro pull itself up by its bootstraps with blockbuster sets like The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. That massive sales volume means that quite a lot of overstock is sitting around after the year’s best sets blazed a trail through your local game store. We’ve scanned all the Black Friday deals on Amazon, compared them to available price histories online, and narrowed things down to find the very best deals on Magic cards this holiday.
Of course, if you’re just getting started with Magic or looking to get a gift for a beginner in your life, you can’t go wrong with the Tales of Middle-earth Starter Kit. It’s secretly one of the very best introductions to the popular trading card game, making it an absolute steal at $13.99 (down from the usual $35.99). For the more hardcore fans on your shopping list, snag them something fun like the four-deck Doctor Who-themed Commander bundle. Originally priced at $249.95, it’s now down to $185 for the holiday.

If you’re looking other ways to expand your tabletop collection, we’ve rounded up the best deals on board games, even more Dungeons & Dragons deals, and other discounts for Black Friday 2023.

It can be tough to think of clever gifts to buy for someone who really loves video games. Gamers are already among the toughest to shop for, and it ramps up in difficulty if you’re getting a gift for someone who tends to buy the newest accessories and games for themselves.
Should you be in need of a gaming laptop this year, but somehow remain empty-lapped after the Black Friday bonanza, don't fret. There are still plenty of gaming laptop deals to be had over Cyber Monday. That even includes gaming laptops with current-gen CPUs and GPUs. Sometimes both, if you're lucky.
Every year I sit by the trackside and watch, like some forelock-tugging Matchstick boy, the great train of Cyber Monday PC gaming deals hurtling down the track: knowing that the majority are not, at this stage in life at least, anywhere near my budget. I have a decent laptop and a once-mighty, creaking desktop, but the bigger factor is just being a bit older and having kids which, yes, makes dropping a few thousand quid on a new RTX 4080 setup seem like some distant dream.
Save on The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Super Mario Switch games, and Mario-themed merch like action figures, board games, books, and more.
Just when you thought it was safe to put down your wallet, Cyber Monday attacks. Though Black Friday 2023 is done and dusted, its residual bargains (and a bunch of all new deals) are up for grabs! For the smoothest shopping experience, be sure to make a bookmark and (freely) sign up for Amazon Prime. Said retailer started their festivities a few days ago and the really good bargains are now here (but for how long is anybody's guess).
I was genuinely surprised to see this RTX 4070 gaming laptop still available for less than a grand—then super-surprised to see that it was even cheaper today. Okay, so another $20 off the already excellent discount price isn't exactly earth-shattering, but damn, a proper RTX 4070 gaming laptop for just $980?
Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 | 12GB GDDR6X | 5,888 shaders | 2,475MHz boost | $549.99$514.99 at Newegg (save $30)Ignore the inflated pre-discount selling price, the fact that this is an RTX 4070 retailing for below the standard Nvidia MSRP is the thing to really pay attention to. This is nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. Also, it's covered in lots of shiny RGB, which will be a plus for some of you and not for others, we're sure.
Hello, it's me, the guy who's constantly banging on about tabletop roleplaying games on a website that's supposed to be about PCs. If you thought Black Friday was going to stop me, you were sorely mistaken: I've been digging up D&D and other TTRPG deals like some sort of polyhedral dice-obsessed badger, and I've got the very best ready for your waiting eyes.
