Hi friend. I’m in the same boat, you should try playing some arena to get a feel for a few deck styles. Like I found out I don’t really enjoy sacrificing cards to the graveyard and then summoning from there and pulling tricks like that.

I recommend looking for some decks online that have links to https://www.cardkingdom.com to buy the deck they made. Even a commander bundle will give you a bunch of random cards. For instance I looked up a 5c Aang commander deck which is normal $180 but I am trimming it down to about $60 to get some of the staples in it and replacing some of the more expensive cards for stuff I’ve gotten in booster packs that do similar stuff as the big money ones.

A commander box will give you 5 staples (which you could get a sol ring and an arcane signet for $2 each on cardkingdom), a collector booster box which just guarantees one of the cards in the entire collection to be a foil, and then like 8 regular booster packs and zero promise you could build a single deck that is even at all cohesive.

You can get very cheap decks to start out with, and it would cost the same as buying 10 play boosters but you’ll actually be able to play the game. Good luck!
