Magic: The Gathering Foundations - Play Booster Box

This is a very nice starter kit for two or more players, although the card pool in it is a bit on the thin side. It comes with several pre-made decks, two play boards that map out where cards go on the battlefield, and also has a physical rulebook, which is rare for MTG these days as Wizards has been fanatically pushing their online play platform (Arena) over paper Magic. For old fogies like me who don't play online MTG and prefer something tangible, this is great for teaching new players or getting your hands on a physical rulebook. There are several decks of varying colors, with some decent cards (but no really powerful rares). Still, for about $25 I feel like it was a good investment, just for the newer cards, rulebook and playing field boards. There's also room enough in the box to stash some more cards, tokens, etc. if you so desire. Recommended.

A couple years ago I taught my daughters, 9 & 10, to play MTG over a three day ice storm and they liked it but we didn’t stick to it.Don’t know why but it got brought up and we tried it again with my girlfriend and it was a mixed bag.Then I bought the Foundations starter box and they love it!I just wish I could get them to switch to my cards, all from the 90’s.I highly recommend this Starter Box, it has, I think, 10 twenty card decks that you pick two of and mix them together and play 40 card games. They said they love the mats that it comes with.Have fun. I also recommend the Bloom burrow set, it’s bunnies, squirrels, and forest creatures, not zombies and monsters.

Great product for getting new people into mtg. Easy pickup and play themed decks. Great product to keep as a standalone unit for quick play. Only wish the cardboard playmats were a little better quality (paper easily rips on the game board if not handled correctly like folding it the wrong way).

If your looking to get into magic this is the set for you. The price was amazing and the variety of cards we got was perfect. An awesome set to get a beginner alot of variety in one box. I highly recommend this bundle.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is a great learning pack

If you want a quick set to learn the game or teach others, this is a ready made kit. Easy to play decks that teach the basics. Great for family game night!If you are a collector looking for value, maybe look for a different product, as the card values leave something to be desired.

This is a must have if you're just getting into magic the gathering or joining back up after a long hiatus, contains a number of useful rares and a land base that can be difficult to build as a new player as well as a variety of useful staples for standard or commander format play.

did not follow deliver instructionsbox came with to how to play decks with instructions and 8 themed sets of cards to make decks i like the small box that holds the cards but if it had a lid that would be even better
