The next important question is where to get cards and how to start collecting?
The easiest way is to purchase the Commander deck. This is an already assembled and balanced deck that can be played with friends or come to tournaments for beginners. AT “Zendikar’s prime”There are two pre-assembled Commander decks available, each dedicated to its own color and hero.
As soon as you gain experience and are ready to build your deck, you can purchase boosters containing random cards from the set. This is the fastest way to get enough cards to improve your deck and be ready for tournaments.
There are several types of boosters:
- Draft Boosters: The most common type of booster designed primarily for tournaments. These packs contain 10 common, 3 uncommon, and 1 rare or mythic card. By purchasing a display containing 36 Draft Boosters, you are guaranteed to receive a random Expedition Bonus Card that will be a great addition to your collection, as well as a unique Buy-a-Box promo card (while in stock at the Hobby Store).
- Release boosters: for those who want to add interesting cards to their collection, or want to get as many rare or mythical cards as possible. By opening the set booster, you can get up to 4 Rare or Mythic cards, a guaranteed foil card, and an illustration card. In every fourth booster set in the set, you will find a card from the “List”, which includes 300 valuable cards from previous sets of Magic – and you will have a chance to draw one of them!
- Collectible boosters: for those who hunt for the rarest and most beautiful maps and understand a lot about treasures. The most important values and rarities are in these boosters. For example, in Rise of Zendikar, basic lands were released with an unusual design, and in these boosters you will always find a foil version of such a basic land.
- Thematic boosters: for those who want to quickly expand their collection with cards of a certain color. By opening them, you will be sure that you will definitely strengthen your deck by receiving cards of certain parameters. In Rise of Zendikar, there is also a special Squad themed booster with cards featuring the Squad mechanic, which debuted in the new set. By the way, now is a great time to start playing Magic: The Gathering, not only due to the release of the new set, but also due to the regular rotation of the cards. For example, now the episodes of the beginning of last year are no longer relevant, cards from the Throne of Eldraine, Theros: Beyond Death’s Threshold, Ikoria: Lair of Giants and Core Set 2023 sets will be playable until next fall, and Zendikar’s Rise ”Will be relevant until the fall of 2023, so go ahead and explore the Multiverse!
