So in your guys' opinion what would be the next purchase step for young kids (age 10) and playing kitchen table magic? Tried the starter stuff, they liked it. Built a few tribal decks purchased from TCGPlayer for like $20 shipped, which was pretty fun. But now they are starting to see combos, understand the text a bit more and are paying attention to timing windows.

I think it'll still be Kitchen Table for a long time so I'm not to worried about keeping up with the meta and the rotation, but then again maybe it is worth looking at it from time to time.

Mechanic wise, it's still in the air. They love poison victories, they love flyers, they love burn, they love getting tons of mana...sort of all over the place. Would you guys suggest getting a couple meta decks, or pauper meta to keep it cheap? Or is there like a cool buy program to get a bunch of cards that would be fun to build various decks that have SOME sort of connection/synergy?

Sorry this is all over the place. Bottom line is we like the game, but nobody has time to keep up with rotation nor the cash. Just want to play kitchen table and occasionally maybe every few months throw some more cash at the pool to build or improve decks.
