Review: Whats in the boooooox - Pros: - Good guided game to start. - Fair quantity of cards/mini decks to play to start - If you want to sleeve all the cards they'll still fit in the box Cons: - its only a very basic intro - the included "playmats" are pretty rubbish lumps of cardboard - final value of the cards is pretty poor. Use case: I used it to teach my kids. It worked fine. I would still recommend a semi experienced player around to answer questions but its a good start Review: Really great. Perfect for a beginner like me - Bought the beginners box and the bundle box, I’m new to magic and this will be helpful. I have only opened and had a Quick Look through but I’m positive I have the essentials for friendly games while learning until I’m ready to get some proper cards. Nice foils and full picture lands make me really happy. No mythics but few decent rares and great commons/uncommons. ## Features - THE BEST WAY TO LEARN MAGIC—Your Magic journey begins in this box!

Definitely use the website to explain some of the card effects though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Magic: The Gathering Foundations - Beginner Box - Magic: The Gathering - Bloomburrow Starter Kit | Learn to Play Magic with 2 Bloomburrow-Themed Decks | 2 Player Collectible Card Game for Ages 13+ - MAGIC THE GATHERING: BLOOMBURROW: PRERELEASE KIT - 6 Play Packs, Dice, Promos --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/646797474-foundations-beginner-box](https://www.desertcart.in/products/646797474-foundations-beginner-box) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
