We got ours last week. Not sure what's in the deck because they're a Christmas present for our son, so we haven't opened them.

My wife and I both ordered. Both came today, one to our home and one to her work. She got a red and a green deck I got a black and a blue. Haven't really looked at them yet,but a cool give away regardless. Thanks WotC!

Got the red and the green decks today. Not bad decks, but I haven't looked at magic cards for about 4 years and most of these were not new to me. I was hoping to see something different.

They're probably from the base set (although you probably knew that already). While they do update each edition of the base set, they also retain a lot of older cards in it.

They are all from the base set, the tenth. I have no idea if that's the current one or not.

Eleventh edition comes out 2009.

I got mine a couple weeks ago. One green, one red. The green one was straight tenth edition with a lonely Shadowmoor treefolk. The red one is mostly tenth edition with a single Lorwyn and a single Morningtide common. Fairly useful staple cards, but the green deck's Naturalize has no valid targets in the red deck.

Wow. If this is targeted at newbies, that's a massive oversight.
