@nothing87777 Maybe the real solution is shops should have starter decks for people to play with like when car dealerships let you test drive cars
English
@Gitrob69 oh sure if the guy doing the introducing is buying all four, I meant like telling a new player to buy and have it as a deck seems a little awkward if they're probably not gonna use it as much as something like a duel deck pack split with a friend.
English
@nothing87777 I dont imagine new players will play these decks once and immediately start like storm count spell slingers infinite combos
But theyd slowly get better at the deck and figure out what they do/dont like and experiment from there
English
@nothing87777 Idk youre making decent points i just feel like if youre just playing with a friend or two with 2 of these decks these are perfectly fine as like
An introduction to magic or a nice thing to have on hand if someone else is new/playing low power
English
@nothing87777 Could this not apply to like all starter decks not just commander
English
@Gitrob69 I still think it's an insane to sell intro decks that will be instantly obsolete after you're done learning. Like how would these ever compete against anything but each other?
English
@Gitrob69 The rules perhaps, but the average commander game has an insane amount of triggers and incredibly dense cards, which I believe are easier to navigate coming from a 60 card base.
English
@nothing87777 "Thank god I bought this 60 card pirate artifact draw steal deck I dont understand instead of this 100 card big dino creatures deck I dont understand"
English
@nothing87777 No deck can just be bought and instantly learned if you dont know how to play
Thats what the instructions and friends are for
English
@LSauchelli Give me an example of a hat set that isnt aetherdrift, otj, or karlov manor
English
To everyone saying this is because people dont want "UB slop" and want more "real magic sets"
How many "real magic sets" had prereleases between 2019 and 2026
Magic: The Gathering@wizards_magic

@DylanKongTCG Except for the last few UW sets
Aetherdrift was some people's personal 9/11

The Echoverse Chandra was from an alternate reality where she joins the fascist regime on Kaladesh and helps further their success.
Which means their revolution failed and it is not Avishkar in that reality.
Jace, your alternate reality is AWFUL.

@cindermage The lion cares enough to leave a comment expressing how much it doesn't care apparently

@wildstwawberry I cant believe people didnt like universes within stuff until just now they were missing out
