Great deal for beginners! Oct 21, 2010 By A. Rhode
My friends and I just started playing Magic recently and we're all hooked.

If you're just learning Magic, the first thing I recommend buying an intro deck from whatever the latest core set is (currently M11). There are a lot of rules and I think it's important to learn on a deck that's designed to function cohesively. If you are happy just having a deck to play with, then that's all you need.

After that, if you are at all interested in building decks or experimenting with different play styles, I definitely recommend getting this kit. From a value perspective, it comes with 4 boosters, which by themselves are worth at least $12, and then you get a storage box with room for extra cards, which is worth a another couple of bucks, so the cards are basically free.

It gives you a bunch basic cards to start putting together decks and try out different play styles. The decks probably wouldn't satisfy experienced players, but it's plenty for learning the ins and outs of how the different colors work. If that's what you're interested in, this is an economical way to get there.

This kit does come with a pamphlet on deck building, but it's not very detailed. I found this article to be really helpful:

285 Magic Cards for $20? SOLD! Oct 11, 2011 By Capt. John
What's not to like? That they're the 2011 series and not 2012? Are you playing in State-level or National Tournaments? No? Then that really doesn't matter. Yes? Then why are you even reading the Reviews? You already know if you want this.

For the unitiated it's 100 Land Cards (used to Summon Creatures and Cast Spells) 125 Common & Uncommon cards (your Creatures and Spells), and four 15-card Boosters with random Lands and Spells, and maybe, just maybe, possibly, an Ultra, Mega, Super Rare Foil card! SCORE!!!.

And a cardboard box.

Hey, don't laugh! It's a solid, durable, closeable box, big enough to hold several deck boxes. Okay, so it doesn't come with spare deck boxes (unlike the Fat Packs, which have less cards and are twice the price), but you're getting 285 Magic Cards for $20. That's just 7¢ a card, and 285 cards is also enough to make four, reasonably balanced 60-card decks. It's a very economical buy for someone getting back into the game, or updating an out-dated Deck.

For someone looking to get started you should know it does not have a detailed Instruction booklet but for the most part Magic is an easy game to figure out. And I'll throw this out there. A few weeks ago I called the Wizards of the Coast 1-800 helpline and I was on hold for just a few minutes before speaking to a real person, who was immediately able to answer my question and solve a house rule dispute. Props to WotC.

Yes, there are other Starter Kits, but for the price, the quantity of cards, and the variety of decks you can put together, this is MY choice. Or would be if I was just starting. I'm not, but I still bought it just because it's such an awesome deal!

I gave it 5 stars overall, but just 2 stars for durability. They are playing cards, after all. They're thin pieces of card and if you play with them and shuffle them and carry them around they're going to get worn and scuffed over time. Keep them in a binder or a box, treat 'em nice, and they'll last you a long time, maybe a lifetime.

Great starter toolkit for a beginner or to have spares. Aug 18, 2010 By Farelle Flores
The MTG Deckbuilders Toolkit is a great way for new or veteran players to create a useful deck, have many spare cards for existing decks, or get extra mana (land). Each box contains cards that are similar to other toolkits and it is pretty unlikely you will find mythic rares (if at all, I haven't). There are also some randomized cards in there, so you don't always get the same thing with each box. You also get a large amount of basic land (mana), so if you have started with boosters like I did this is SO helpful! Comes with a pamphlet on building decks and more than enough cards for you to make a deck good enough to win! Stick with boosters if you want to discover mythic rares, but for beginners and deck building this one is perfect (and at a great price too).

Shop for Better Deal Sep 08, 2011 By campboy83
Great product (thus the 4 star review), but you're not really saving buying it here. It is $19.99 at virtually every Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target. Just some practical info for you.

loved this 'toolkit' Sep 23, 2010 By caushuper
just what my son and I needed to build decks -- plenty of cards -- including current cards -- lots of land -- and clear, thoughtful directions in how to build a set. Workds well as a 2-person "Starter Kit" or to supplement what you already have. Definitely worth it!
