I would like to start playing magic, would this be a good thing for me to buy as a starting deck?

It depends. If you are playing in the MTG tournaments, a lot of these cards are older and some tournaments don't allow the use of older cards. But if you are just starting and playing with friends, they are good to start with and gain experience from.

Yes and no. I'd suggest a pre-built deck as your very first deck, it gives you the best sense of what you need and what makes a good deck. But this is great once you're comfortable building your own deck (but you'll need land cards too).

I suggest you start out with a smaller deck. one that has more manna in it. this deck is so large it may be overwhelming for the novice player. Once you get used to playing this deck is a great buy though.

Technically no, but in a sense, yes. They are complete, 60-card decks, but the cards contained within are susually middle of the road strength. These are called "theme decks", while the "starter decks" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00I48Q2CA/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1409182223&sr;=8-11&p;i=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70) are focused on one of the 3 starting pokemon. Both types contain a fully playable deck and can be customized and upgraded with cards you would find in the booster packs.

Yes. I recommend getting one of the starter kits - it's a bit more cost effective.

These are what are called theme decks. These decks are both play ready but a starter deck comes with specific step by step guides to teach you the game. If that is what you are looking for, try searching for a trainer starter deck. I hope this helps.

No, this is not a good set to give to an experienced player. The set does not have very many cards worth money and when you do find one it's not worth much. I recommend a different set, try the journey into nyx pre-release package.

These are normal playing cards. You can buy two decks of regular playing cards and you should be all set.

It's still a pretty tight fit. You might get away with less damage than it would do to Yu-Gi-Oh! cards though, because of the slight size difference. I still wouldn't sleeve any high-value cards in them, but if you have a for-fun-only/"junk" deck, these are the cheapest option on the market. :)

This one comes with both Kaiba and Yugi Decks Their will be a few duplicates in both from what i have seen but i believe they do that in order to help you tribute summon either a easier . well that's my theory anyway if you just want one or the other simply type in the specif deck that you want . the Yugi Deck is like around 10 dollars maybe cheaper depending on where you find it on here the kaibi one is like roughly 8 dollars but then again you might find that cheaper depending on who sells it .

Yes it could be... be sure you research exactly what you want before you buy. You may need different items if you are going to be indoor only vs. wanting to take these outside. Overall, as a beginner you could probably make this work in almost any situation because it's decent performance, light weight and quite portable.

Yes, if you mean it as a replacement in the starter kit line. It comes with 2 opposing and playable armies, a dice set, the templates, a small rule book... Basically, everything you need to play, just like Assault on Black Reach was.

Its a very good starter board. The drop deck style provides extra stability which is great for learning.

Hello! Absolutely a great choice because everything you need to start playing is included with this set when buy it. Its a great, affordable way to start playing for not a lot of money.

No. As a 'Living Card Game' everything you need to play is in the initial core set you purchase. You can buy expansions to add more elements and cards to the game, but it's not necessary. The nice thing is, there are no 'rare' or hard to find cards, as each expansion comes with the exact same cards, so while you get to customize your deck, you won't feel left out or unable to play if you aren't completely up to date on new sets.

No. Your best bet for Mana would be to buy a Fat Pack from your Local Game Store (LGS) or here on Amazon. You get a whole pack of I think 20 of each basic land type.

I'd say it is! The intro adventure walks you through the rules as you play, introducing each mechanic "naturally". Honestly, it works very, very well for starters.

This model would be good for the beginner golfer. If you have lot of equipment try something larger.

This set comes with basic lands only. You'll get lots of copies. This could be ideal for getting started with alters as long as you're ok working within the confines of basic land cards.
