Jan 27, 2009 · - Any tips (for a MtG newbie) on how best to form decks from such a wide-ranging set of cards. My basic idea was to just sort the cards by colour/land type and then form some decks mixing a couple of colours. - Anything else you think I should know thx

Oct 17, 2014 · Single or 'mono' color decks are usually really focused, and can be very consistent. 2 color decks work really well for starting players, because it gives you a good base to build on, and strikes a good balance between focus, flexibility, power, and constancy.

From the official website: Never before have so many gathered in one place. These will be fights to remember. These eight, ready-to-play, 60-card Magic decks showcase the first four dueling match-ups. Rejoin the fray as the game's most famous Planeswalkers go head to head. Relive the Divine clashing with the Demonic, and Elves confronting Goblins. Replay the original duels, or …

Nov 7, 2013 · All three decks win through creatures and aren't "changing the game." I haven't played Commander, but I know enough about it to know that you can't force every "fair" commander deck into the same box, just like you can't force all three 60-card decks that I just listed to play the same number of lands.

Dec 13, 2012 · If you can stick to building these decks using entirely permanents (or very few trick cards if you must) you can ease your son/daughter into MTG.

Example deck: 60 cards in Ultra-Pro Eclipse sleeves, 32mm (1.26") thick because of a bit of air. Add 15 cards (8mm) for a sideboard. Commander uses 100-card decks, usually no sideboard, so that would be about 22mm thicker.

Aug 18, 2023 · The worst thing for me is the lack of thematic sense overall, this seems a game with decent mechanics and random Disney artwork thrown on the cards, the usual fan/collector trap. MTG is doing the exact opposite with Universe's Beyond products, playing Commander with precon decks is a lot of fun, but of course on the pricey side.

Dec 5, 2022 · Thinking of getting some MTG cards in 2023... but I am not interested in collecting with the CCG angle. I know they used to make "duel" decks. Basically each release they would make 4 new pre made decks. They were not super powerful but had some rares and synergy. I
