Get Into Gatecrash With the New Intro Decks
January 8, 2013 by dracs
With Gatecrash fast approaching there are many more cool cards to entice new players to this great game. So where better to start off in this new set than these new guild Intro Decks?
These Intro Decks follow the standard layout of 60 cards in a pre-built deck, along with 2 booster packs. This provides those new to Magic with a good deck to get to grips with the mechanics, which they can then modify to match their own tactics. Intro Decks are also good for experienced players as it provides you with some assuredly good cards, as well as a basic structure to build your own deck around.
Are any of you tempted to get into Magic the Gathering?

What is the difference between these intro decks and the 2013 intro decks?
Have just started playing and got the Izzet vs Golgari duel deck as my daughter was interested.
(She then got a red/black event deck which sounds terrifying)
So I need something to be able to counter that with something
erm… maybe scissors? lol
Well Gatecrash will release a bunch of new cards and some reprints.
Those packs will basically be decks that you can play straight away with that will give you a decent foundation if you want to improve upon, if you want to start playing with one of those guilds.
Money wise, they’re pretty good value, especially if you are just starting off. Once you take into account what the 2 booster packs that come with the deck itself, it comes out as pretty cheap.
Each of those guilds will sort of have a theme / mechanic which you can work out from the foil card (red/white is battalion, green/red is bloodrush, green/blue is evolve, black/white is extort).
Black Blue seems to be about Imprint (I think you typically cast a spell, then attach that spell to a creature, and everytime that creature does damage to a player, that spell is cast again).
