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?

Gosh this is incredibly helpful. Thanks again for this great explainer, it answered many questions I had and cleared up pretty much everything I was confused about. Proxies are rad, I'm relieved people are doing that hah. Definitely think I'm going to go with a few commander decks at this point. Seems like a great place to start and that it can be played with more than two players at a time is really ideal :gold-communist:
