    Magic the Gathering Beginner Box

    This thing is perfect for people learning how to play MTG. It guides you every step of the way and comes with some really cool cards that you can use in future decks you build. I would highly recommend learning this way before you jump right into other styles like commander.

    Good set for a beginner

    As a mtg player, this set has alot of lands and various useful cards for getting someone into the game. We even did an opening video for it though we learned afterwards that all the beginner kits have the exact same cards in them. As of the current time, you pay for this box approx what the cards themselves would be bulk, which is actually pretty nice.

    Great teaching tool!

    Wonderful way to teach beginning players basics in a “ real” formal etiquette way. Jumpstart packs are amazing. I reuse them for beginner “drafts” and they work great. I’d highly recommend this product, especially if you can catch it on sale.
