Hi all, I did a quick search and couldn't see if this topic as been made before;

Following a very confusing but extremely enjoyable intro into MTG, I felt that this was something I could casually play and thus went searching online for some cards. I bought something called a black lotu...

Jokes aside, would people reccommend I buy boosters or intro packs to begin?
Many thanks,
Conner

Hi Conner,

I've only recently got into Magic myself, I started by buying intro packs - seemed like a good idea at the time, but actually I've hardly used any of the cards. Personally therefore, I wouldn't recommend them. Instead I constructed a deck by coming up with an interesting theme and then collecting cards to fulfil that concept.

Try googling for themes of magic decks for some inspiration.

I purchase a lot of singles from on-line sites, mostly from bigorbitcards. I've also used chaoscards and magicmadhouse. I recommend them all. Visit their sites and browse through the cards for more inspiration and you'll get a clear idea for the cost of putting a deck together. You can assemble a decent deck of cards for less than £20.

charlie67	Hello, would also recommend going to a pre release event when the next mtg set comes out - I think the next one is in January next year. Kaladesh was a week ago which was fun.

Sprite_goblin89	Thanks for the feedback guys, I've just downloaded MTG duals on Xbone to get my head around the rules better, -: well as that I've bought a very cheap prebuilt deck so I should be able to join in with any charity-duels! Once I'm a bit more switched on, I'll be looking at making a collection worthy of getting my backside handed to me!

Sprite_goblin89	Hi all, Are there any rules to MTG that you guys enforce on Thursday nights? Eg. Restriction on amount of cards in deck/banned cards? I I'm still in the process of trying to find some zombie tokens in bulk that won't break the bank, but I keep getting beaten to the punch. Do you guys mind if I were to use dice/random slips of paper to represent any tokens? See you tomorrow! Conner
