Magic: The Gathering Starter Kit 2023

Two decks, two people, and no prior knowledge required.

The cheapest honest way to find out whether you like Magic. Two pre-built 60-card decks in one box — Day of the Dragon in blue and red, Backup Beatdown in green and white — built to play against each other straight out of the packaging. No deckbuilding, no collection, no trip to a card shop first.

They're deliberately simple decks, which is the point: everything in them does roughly what it says, so a first game teaches the rules by playing rather than by lecture. Both decks are ready to go the moment the shrink comes off, and each comes with a code for the same deck in Magic: The Gathering Arena if you'd rather carry on playing online.

Perfect for: Two people who have been meaning to try Magic for years and would like it to cost less than a takeaway.
