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?

    Oh yeah i don't think there's an interest in keeping up really, though gosh that would be hilarious if it turned into that. The rookie and battle decks seem interesting- are those kind of like the starter kit or commander decks in that they're a ready to go setup, but custom built by people that play the game instead of built by wizards of the coast employees?

    I think i understand drafting (like to build your deck for the match you take turns picking from a shared central allotment of cards?) but would you mind explaining what cube and proxy mean?
