Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worth it for the price. Good deck filler with a few genuinely useful cards in their own right, and a few packs to scratch that itch.

As a new player, this felt like a great selection of cards to get started. The case that it comes with is great for holding and organizing them, and the variety of mythic and rare cards has me excited to build my first decks!

An incredible deal. A full starter set with 500 ish cards everything you need to play. Instantly transported back to middle school trading cards at lunch with my friends.

Definitely worth your money. Lot's of great cards and lands. Just recently got back into Magic and the starter collection adds both new and classic spin to Magic.

Best choice for people wanting to seriously get into Magic The Gathering

This is a really nice set for someone new to Magic: The Gathering. I appreciate the variety of cards and the ability to make multiple decks. I think it provides a strong base to learn the game and the different strategies in playing it. It should be noted that all boxes have identical cards, except for the three booster packs enclosed, so for a collector, I might look for another product. But for someone new to the franchise, this was a great introductory set for the price.

Provided me a lot of staples or decent bulk to make budget friendly decks and help learn deck building a little better. Also , I love the inclusion of the booster packs.

This is designed for a complete first-timer to the game, but it also works very for those trying to teach the game to someone else too. It has 2 programmed decks with matching booklets that take each player step-by-step through the first few turns of a game to teach the basics. But where it shines the most is the Jumpstart packs. These are preset "mini decks" that you can just pick 2, shuffle them together, & have a full 60-card deck. The other goodies are good too.

Awesome cards for anyone starting out, or who may have missed the last few years of Magic. Best aimed at the Commander format. Presentation is A+ as well. Box is sturdy. The 3 Play Boosters inside helped scratch the “ripping” packs itch. Plenty of Rares, foils, price is very hard to beat.

I love the variety and volume of the cards in this box, and look forward to learning how to build a custom deck.

Good start for new players. Also has some great cards for upgrading some of the decks i have

This starter collection is better for someone wanting to play standard Magic, and not really intended for commander. But as someone new to Magic, getting hundreds of cards for $60 is pretty hard to beat. The included storage box, life tracker, and three play boosters are nice extras as well. For anyone new to Magic, but cares more about getting a bunch of cards rather than learning the game, the starter collection will do you nicely. For learning the game, go with the beginner box instead.

[Employee of bestbuy] Definitely worth the purchase. So many cards in the box including cards that people are charging through the roof for. A good mix of everything and more than enough to make 2 or 3 commander decks.

Great collection of cards to help build decks. The card value per price of the collection is pretty equal and the number of decks you can create is adequate, given you have cards from other expansions.

Trying to teach my kids to play magic. This was a great item to get them started. I also bought them the avatar beginner set, and a couple the pre-built beginner commander decks. All good choices for beginners to start to learn. Gives them all the tools

I recently got into magic and wanted to start a solid collection so I could use more than just the basic commander precons. This set not only let me create both commander and standard decks, but also upgrade my current precons further, definitely worth it if you are trying to get into magic and start a collection.

The starter collection is a fantastic purchase for people starting off, or even veterans of Magic. If you check any deck list online, you'll see that the singles in this collection are still being used regularly in many decks, and sold at prices that easily justify the MSRP cost of the collection.

Couldn't ask for a better way to start learning the game. Has everything you need.

Please lookup some YouTube reviews, it's a standard set of cards in here and they're great! I started magic a few months ago and this helped and still helps me build decks, now acting like a pool of useful accessible cards for my commander deck builds!

Worth the value and gives you alot to play around with while deck building
