## Description

In this box, you'll find everything you need to start your Magic: The Gathering journey—a tutorial game guided by two step-by-step booklets, plus a variety of ready-to-play card packets to explore once you understand the basics. Each Foundations Beginner Box contains: one 20-card Cats tutorial deck, one 20-card Vampires tutorial deck, 2 learn-to-play Quick Start guide booklets, eight 20-card theme decks (just shuffle any two together for a ready-to-play deck), 1 Rules Reference booklet, 2 Playmats, and 2 Spindown life counters.

Review: Great for beginners - GREAT VALUE AND PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS !! Don't sleep on this deal. It's High Quality & has over 100$ worth of cards. Comes with case and life counter.
Review: Good starter kit for MTG - This is a very nice starter kit for two or more players, although the card pool in it is a bit on the thin side. It comes with several pre-made decks, two play boards that map out where cards go on the battlefield, and also has a physical rulebook, which is rare for MTG these days as Wizards has been fanatically pushing their online play platform (Arena) over paper Magic. For old fogies like me who don't play online MTG and prefer something tangible, this is great for teaching new players or getting your hands on a physical rulebook. There are several decks of varying colors, with some decent cards (but no really powerful rares). Still, for about $25 I feel like it was a good investment, just for the newer cards, rulebook and playing field boards. There's also room enough in the box to stash some more cards, tokens, etc. if you so desire. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Value Fun!
*by J***. on October 11, 2025*

Enjoyed this set a lot. I buy boxes to use and sell, and I get a lot of value out of this set. I just started playing Magic and while Foundations wasn’t the set I started with, playing Arena was mostly these cards. Cracking the packs, the cards were immediately recognizable. There are some STOMPy cards in this set, and staples for almost any deck nowadays. I got a doubling season that really adds some STANK to a counters deck, makes you immediately disliked at the table. The main chunk of the deck though is still extremely playable, and most importantly FUN! For the price, and especially if you can find it <$130, it’s a great experience with good chances to pull cards that will improve your deck! If you’re new and want easy play options, grab the Foundations Jumpstart packs. 2 packs, crack them, shuffle up, play a game. There’s also good cards in those sets as well!
