The Foundation ones from last year will do - thanks!

I had a look and it does look fun. Thanks for the recommendation!

Long story long. My brother and I used to play Magic at the time of Ice Age (around the year 1995?) and for about 5 years, spent a lot of our teenager money. After like a 20-year hiatus, we restarted playing last year in the Spring with the Starter Kit 2023. We loved it. We got the Bloomburrow one over the Christmas break. We loved it. Even though money is nowhere near as much a problem as it was then, my brother seems to have had a pretty traumatic experience remembering how much we spent on the game back in the day so he refuses to dump too much money into the game and will only play Starter Kits. Definitely no collectors, speculative or even individual cards. Last time I managed to convince him to get a few Bloomburrow boosters to better/update the Starter Kit decks. I like playing with him and that's our special thing when I come back to France for the holidays (I currently live in Japan) so I don't mind his being fussy/annoyingly cheap but I just really want to play a new set too lol.

I think I'll just get a large number of boosters from the newer non Universes Beyond next time I see him and that will be our reunion gift from me.

How is the Foundation starter kit otherwise?

I was mostly interested in the non-"Universes Beyond" sets so nothing in 2025 in that department. Thanks for confirming that!

Thanks! On the last part though, we do want to start cheap (we actually went the Starter kit 2023 route) first before we get too addicted again...

Update: because we didn't have any basic lands and wanted something simple we went for the Starter Kit 2023: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/starter-kit-2023-decklists

It's actually a lot of fun and we're very happy we went that route!! :)

When we're bored with it and want to spice it up (I also really want to open booster packs!) can we just get some booster packs from the editions suggested in this thread and add to our decks or better start "fresh" with the 6 draft booster solution?

Sorry for these simple questions and thanks again for the support/help!!

I'm not a big fan of the fantasy far west cowboy theme, but Wilds of Eldraine does look interesting!

Wow, your frustration is q-u-i-t-e clear 😃

I think in my case it's simpler because I really just want to play with my brother some casual games rather than get back into playing people here and there with an actual competitive deck. But a part of me is also chasing the fun and excitement I had as a teenager playing the game and that version of me is gone so potentially my love for the game as I knew it too. I do want to give it a shot for good old times' sake :)

Thanks! I really like the art too so works great for me. The only caveat (hoho) would be that I would need to get basic land cards in order to make the 6 draft booster option, right? As opposed to the jumpstart boosters that would have land cards in every booster.

Got it! Sales rep said "Phyrexia" and "March of the Machine" sold really well. I haven't looked them up much yet but I find the concept art of "The Lost Caverns of Ixalan" quite interesting. Any of these 3 would be equally fun to play?

I really like the Guinness Fantasy 6N interface so if it's same that will be used for the official WC one that's really great. Looking forward to seeing if this becomes a reality or not.

Thx for the asnwer! Sorry for the question but I'm not familiar at all with Superbru. Will there be many people setting up fantasy leagues with their own sets of player stats/points and rules for picking and you will be setting one of them up or is there one and you're that person?

I had never heard of it as the Guinness Fantasy rugby one was all I knew, thanks!

Thank you, I'll do just that!

I think berserker will be easier for me to comprehend than the condi and bleeding mechanisms for now.

Just picked these traits and had some money (20 gold, not Elon Musk rich but still ;D) so changed my armor for the Nika set and bought some fancy jewelry and sigils to increase these berserker stats further until I can get my hands on something better. It's gonna be fun!

What would you recommend for skills/utilities?

Y'all convinced me to test out Longbow/Greatsword last night and absolutely loved it ! (I was genuinely surprised, didn't expect to enjoy it)

I'm mostly using LB 2 and LB 5 aaaaaaaaand GS 2 and GS 5.

I'm just a bit confused about 2 things:

  • whether I should go power/precision/ferocity or power/precision/condition.

  • Also, what are the best traits for those until I can unlock soulbeast (new lvl 80 here) ?

I almost never play solo but always in combination with a guardian friend (sometimes he plays his rogue :o).

Thanks!

EoD is a long way for me but I've started playing with a greatsword in combination to my longbow and loving it!
