So I barely know anything about MTG but I want to get cards for myself and a couple friends. What's the easiest way to get into this? (I know there's the video game but I wanna go real cards). I see there are two deck starter kits which seem cool, maybe I get one of those for each of us and then some booster packs? Like $30 per person is what I'm going for. Are the starter decks balanced against each other? Is there other stuff I should know?

    Thank you! It's a relief to know that going this route seems like it'd be totally fine for our situation.

    Forgive me, but does drafting require buying new packs every time?

      A normal booster draft usually does require new packs if you don't want the draft to get stale seeing the same cards that you already opened. There is a thing called Cubes, basically a player curated draft format. It's fun to make one once you get a bit of a collection of cards but I would stick to normal booster drafts for a bit before trying to make a Cube.
