So we’ve played a little MTGA online so we’re a little comfortable with the game but have no idea how to get into physical cards.
We’re interested in having mainly only LoTR ones but weren’t sure what to buy at the store.
Online it looks like there’s starters and boosters but what would be the best way to get like a lot of LoTR mainly cards?
Thanks!
Jumpstart is the product for you! It’s designed to help beginners get right into the game and try out a variety of play styles. Each Jumpstart pack contains half of a deck, lands and all. So you each open two packs, shuffle your cards together, and start playing.
There’s even a LotR Jumpstart edition, though the packs are a little more expensive than generic Jumpstart.
if you’re doing jumpstart i’d stick to the jumpstart 2020 and 2022 editions, not the set releases. the cards are better, there’s more variety in the themes they offer, and it feels more cohesive than the stuff like jumpstart: lotr or jumpstart: brother’s war
Fair, but if you enjoy Lord of the rings and want just Lord of the rings cards, the jump start is pretty fun as well.
I would like the second Jumpstart. I think it’s a fantastic way to bring in new players and it’s fun for existing players too. It’s one of my favorite formats on arena and I think newer players can identify with the tribal themes easily to get into the game.
