Magic: The Gathering is bringing us back to the basics with this 2024 core set: Foundations! This run has goodies for both new and veteran players, as it contains both older and beloved cards with foundational mechanics, as well as new cards that build on Magic’s core components.
For new players, this set is the perfect tool to learn the Standard format, as the cards for each colour were selected and designed to highlight their traditional strengths and weaknesses. For veterans, there’s the promise of new cards in this set that will be relevant to the direction of all of MTG, but especially Draft, for at least the next 5 years!
The Beginner Box is the best way to either learn the ropes of the game yourself, or teach someone else classic Magic, with tools like:
- 10 Themed Jumpstart Packs, each with:
- 20 Cards - take 2 packs and shuffle them together to make a deck!
- Foundation set cards, not the Foundation Jumpstart specific cards
- 2 Reference cards
- A reference guidebook
- 2 “How to Play” guides
- 2 Gameboard playmats
- 2 Spindown D20s
