[QUOTE="Cristian Andreu, post: 6865508, member: 23822"] Regarding your question, I'd totally reccommend trying a Pauper deck; they are both very cheap to make (as they only allow common cards), and have really interesting strategies available to them. TappedOut has a lot of already designed decks for this format (and for any format, really, should you prefer to play something else), which you can find here: [url]http://tappedout.net/mtg-deck-builder/pauper/[/url] A thing to consider if you are planning on playing again is how cards are being sold. If you want a quick plunge into the newer sets, I'd strongly advice getting a Deckbuilder's Toolkit, which include a sizeable number of fixed, semi-random, and random cards (the fixed cards are always the same, while the semi-random tend to vary little from toolkit to toolkit), plus some lands. It's specifically designed to grant you a broad spectrum of deck building strategies, and are very cheap considering what they provide (getting more than one is less cost-effective, though). Boosters are less random than what they used to be, mainly because they are now designed to be used in Draft format. As a result, a single booster can often support several different decks, but because of this they are very unreliable for getting cards for a specific deck. In this case, if you are aiming to build a specific deck, it might be more cost-effective to purchase cards individually (places like CardKingdom have become truly massive card dealers these days). Finally, I would advice skipping the themed products such as Duel Decks, Event Decks, and the like. Though they are great if you just want a quick deck to play (Duel Decks include 2 pre-constructed decks designed to be effective against one another), if you like to build your own stuff they are often not very effective. Hope it helps! [/QUOTE]
