About Decks, Kits & Pre-Release

What is a decks, kits & pre-release?

Starter decks, battle decks, Commander decks, build-and-battle boxes and pre-release kits all share one purpose — they get you playing straight away without deck-building first.

Starter and theme decks come ready to play out of the box. Build-and-battle boxes and pre-release kits hand you a sealed pool to construct a deck from, which is how most organised play events begin. Commander decks in Magic are complete hundred-card decks built to a theme.

Which one should you buy?

If you are teaching someone the game, two starter decks is a better first purchase than any amount of booster product — you can sit down and play immediately.

We do not sell counterfeit or reproduction cards. If you are ever unhappy with the authenticity of something you have received, contact us and we will put it right.
