Abisteen posted:I learned Magic via Arena and have never played paper. My girlfriend is interested in trying the game and I think it would be fun to play some kitchen table magic with her since she doesn't play games on PC very much. There's a few options I can think of: - As you mentioned, a bulk box could be a good start, though there might not necessarily be synergy between any of the cards to build an interesting deck - Not sure if this is still a thing (I think it is?), but Wizards gives out intro packs to LGS's to give out for free to new players who ask - Jump Start also exists in paper; you each buy two packs, and that's your deck. Lands are included in this. These can be pricey though since there were some print issues and there were some high-value cards in there. - With the pandemic being a thing stores should still have some stock of prerelease kits- they cost around $30-$40 and have 6 Draft packs to play Sealed. You'll also need to buy lands for this. - If you want to take the next step and start playing with other people, Prerelease Events are a blast and most people at FNM Drafts are generally super casual and friendly to new players

Abisteen posted:Thanks for the excellent recommendations everyone. I decided to go with four jumpstart packs since she said she liked the idea of opening things and not knowing anything about what she would get. Cool! Worth noting that the prerelease kits will also offer that opening packs without knowing what you'll get; I think that would be a good next step after Jumpstart since you'll be able to play sealed and then start brewing decks and trading. Jumpstart's also good to have on hand since you can break up the decks back into their individual packs afterwards and try new combinations.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Honestly I'm not even sure why people want pioneer? They let it languish in to nothing over a matter of mere months. It never got off the ground. How coul you even have an opinion of it? For me, it's wanting to play an eternal format on digital that they can also play on paper, without having to spend $500 on mtgo

My goal for prerelease is to open a Bronze Tablet using Opening Ceremony and force someone to ante their phone.

I'm imagining he carries around his laugh track and pressed it there

Not sure how I feel about the format after two sealeds and a draft all not going my way. Seems to just be open 3 bombs > hope you draw them > win. Maybe I just don't like the modern meta of red getting 7/7 fliers for 3 and blue getting 5/3 flying hexproof flash for 4.
