MTG x Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Out This Week, and Preorders Are Back in Stock
Magic: The Gathering is experiencing an exciting year of crossovers, and the upcoming release of **Avatar: The Last Airbender** is set to continue this trend. Following the massive success of the **Final Fantasy** set and the mixed reception of the **Spider-Man** set, anticipation is building for the Avatar-themed expansion, launching on **November 21**. In a welcome development for fans and collectors alike, preorders for the Avatar set have recently been restocked at multiple retailers, offering a second chance to secure coveted items like Scene Boxes, Collector Boosters, and Commander’s Bundles before the official launch. This is particularly crucial as previous stock quickly vanished, and with the launch date approaching, now is the time for fans to lock in their purchases.
Among the most sought-after items is the **Collector Booster Box**, which has returned to Amazon at a reduced price of **$455.88**, down from $550. This is a significant discount compared to the current market price of around **$528** on platforms like TCGplayer. The **Scene Boxes**, featuring themed collections like the **Black Sun Invasion** and **Tea Time at the Jasmine Dragon**, are also back in stock for **$41.99** each. These Scene Boxes allow players to create stunning visual displays with cards that capture iconic moments from the series. Furthermore, the **Commander’s Bundle**, priced at **$109.99**, offers a unique product type to fill the gap left by the absence of dedicated Avatar Commander Decks. It includes nine Play Boosters and one Collector Booster, as well as essential Commander staples, although it has already sold out on Amazon.
As excitement builds, the **Beginner Box** also makes its debut, catering to new players interested in Magic: The Gathering through the lens of Avatar. This entry-level product, priced at **$34.99**, allows players to mix and match Jumpstart decks featuring characters like Aang and Zuko, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers. Additionally, the **Jumpstart Boosters**, available for **$167.76**, allow players to quickly assemble playable decks, enhancing the accessibility of the game. With prerelease events starting on **November 14** and digital availability on **MTG Arena** from **November 18**, fans can expect a flurry of activity leading up to the physical release. As the release date approaches, collectors are already eyeing top chase cards like **Fire Lord Zuko** and **Aang, Swift Savior**, which boast impressive market values and are expected to be hot commodities post-launch. Overall, the Avatar crossover promises to be a thrilling addition to the Magic universe, appealing to both seasoned players and newcomers alike.

Magic has been on a
crossover bender this year
, and it is not slowing down.
After the Final Fantasy set
broke every record going
and the controversial
Spider-Man set followed things up
, Avatar: The Last Airbender is next in line, and its November 21 launch is creeping up fast.
After months of scarcity, thankfully, preorders for the
Avatar set
have just seen a major restock across multiple retailers, giving anyone who missed the first wave a clean shot at sealed product before launch day. That includes the elusive Scene Boxes, Collector Boosters, Commander’s Bundle, and more.
Boxes disappeared quickly last time, so this is the moment to lock something in if you are planning to dive into the set on day one. Here’s
where you can pick everything up just in time for launch
.
Collector Boosters
Magic’s Avatar: The Last Airbender
Collector Booster Box is finally back in stock
and available to preorder at Amazon, priced at $455.88.
This was $550 only yesterday, so a massive reduction, all things considered. This is much cheaper compared to the market price, as seen at
TCGplayer, which has it listed at around $528
.
These collector boosters have been incredibly hard to come by, hence the high pricing. You can also pick up individual boosters for $37.99, if you’re feeling flush.
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.
Amazon has them for $41.99 each
, both recently restocked after months of being unavailable, so snap these up ASAP.
We also recently got an
exclusive look at a handful of cards
that make up a single scene set after the end of the TV show (as well as a couple cards from the bonus sheet of the main set).
Titled “Tea Time at the Jasmine Dragon,” the six cards that make up this panomaric art scene are not technically part of the main set, instead available together in a standalone Scene Box and limited to use in Magic’s Eternal formats like Commander.
That’s a big part of the reason why four of the cards are multicolored legendary creatures with abilities that are meant to be built around – though the somewhat novel twist of this particular scene is that most of them feature couples from the end of the show, making it a peaceful epiloque of sorts.
Flip through the gallery above to see all eight cards
.
Commander’s Bundle
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 costs $109.99, contains 9 Play Boosters and one Collector Booster, and also includes classic Commander staples like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Swiftfoot Boots, and more.
But, it’s already sold out at Amazon.
We’re expecting preorders to go live at Best Buy soon, which will be your best bet
at securing the Commander Bundle over the coming days.
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,
who can only preorder a box of 30 packs for $209.70
at Amazon for now.
Still, we’re expecting this to be one of the most popular picks for those preordering MTG x Avatar cards, so snap it up ASAP to avoid missing out.
Once that’s sorted, you’re guaranteed 30 boosters to open, eaching containing at least 1 shiny Traditional Foil card and 1–4 cards of rarity Rare or higher, alongside the heart-racing possibility of finding special cards featuring
beautiful borderless alternate art
.
As is the case with Spider-Man (and most Magic sets),
there’s a new Bundle coming
, too.
This $72.99 set
includes nine Play Boosters, 15 foil and 15 non-foil lands, 1 spindown life counter, and a Foil promo card.
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.
It will offer Jumpstart decks that can be mixed and matched to allow players to learn to play as Aang or Zuko. It costs $34.99, and can be
preordered at Amazon right now
.
IGN’s Tom Marks has also previewed the Beginner Box
, awarding some high praise to the latest introductory MTG box, saying: “…if you’re an Avatar fan who is curious about what this crossover entails but is intimidated by the three-decade old reputation Magic carries around with it, it’s hard to think of a better place to start than this.”
Jumpstart Boosters
Jumpstart Boosters return for Avatar: The Last Airbender, costing
$167.76 to preorder from Amazon
.
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.
Card reveals for the set are in full swing through next week, with prerelease events kicking off at local stores on November 14.
It then launches digitally on MTG Arena November 18 before becoming available in paper on November 21.

full MTG release schedule
to see what expansions are coming next year.
MTG x Avatar: Best Chase Cards
MTG’s Avatar doesn’t drop until November 21, but we’re already seeing top chase cards in the wild, which are ridiculously hard to pull. Feel free to try your hand at the Collectors Booster Box, but you’ll likely save money just buying the cards you need outright.
Here’s the top five chase cards right now, including where to buy and up-to-date market pricing information. But, also note that these prices will
rapidly
change come release on November 21, so it could be worth holding out until then as well.
