Magic the Gathering Card Buying Tips?

So… I haven’t been on here in awhile, but I need some tips!

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up on the 22nd of May, and he has recently became a Magic addict. He only has one starter set with two pre-built decks (Dragon and Knight) amounting to about 120 cards altogether. I thought buying him a wholesale lot of Magic cards to build up his current decks and create a few new ones would be perfect, but I know when it comes to card buying it’s easy to be stupid and pay way too much.

I plan to buy anywhere between 300 and 600 cards.
I have about $30 including shipping.
I plan to use eBay.

So, any tips from experienced people on what to look for and what to watch out for? Price points? Dealbreakers? Etc? I will be forever grateful!

If you need any more info, just ask and I will provide in a timely manner!

The thing that will determine the price of a lot of Magic: The Gathering cards is whether the lot includes specific rare cards that are used in the most competitive tournament decks. If said rares are what you want you will need to spend much more than $30.00. But if he is only playing casually and not in tournaments you might check out the starcitygames.com gold collection (1,000 cards) for $22.99. The other options I can think of close to your price range are buying a deck builder’s toolkit which has 285 semi random cards (60 of which are contained in four booster packs) for about $20.00 or a fat pack for $39.00 which has 225 cards if you include the lands. The reason the fat pack costs more is it contains 9 booster packs compared to just 4 in the deck builder’s toolkit which means more rares if you buy the fat pack. You know your boyfriend better than I do. If he is competitive he may want to eventually play in tournaments, in which case the fat pack would probably provide him with the most useful cards. If you decide to buy a fat pack, the most relevant ones to buy are the Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged, or New Phyrexia. Hope this helps!

$6.29


For gamers and fantasy fans alike, a fast-paced, stand-alone adventure that brings the popular trading card game Magic: the Gathering ® to life. Lurking in the space between the aether and the physical plane, there is a great evil waiting to emerge. Zendikar is a land of danger and adventure, a world of deadly risks and priceless rewards. It is also a prison to one of the most deadly species known to the Multiverse: the dreaded Eldrazi. When our story opens, part of the mystical containment spell that has kept the Eldrazi captive for millennia has been breached. The brood lineage, the Eldrazi minions, have been released and are poring over the plane, devouring everything in their path, but the swath they cut across the land is nothing next to the destruction that the still-imprisoned Eldrazi Titans will wreck once released. Nissa Revane, a planeswalker and proud elf warrior of the Jorga Nation, is witness to what the brood lineage can do. She sees that they pose a bigger problem than most suppose. Sorin, an ancient vampire planeswalker, knows this as well as anyone because he was among the original jailers of the ancient scourge. He has returned to Zendikar to make sure the Titans do not escape. They both want the Eldarzi threat extinguished but each has their own agenda. Nissa wants the Eldrazi off her plane entirely. Sorin wants to put the lock back on their cell. And there are still others who want the Titans to escape. Together they set out across the land on search of the Eye of Ugin, the source of the Eldrazi uprising, where they will face what could be their final challenge. Will the Eldrazi escape to menace the Multiverse once again? From the Paperback edition.

Alara Unbroken: A Novel Of Magic: The Gathering


Alara Unbroken: A Novel Of Magic: The Gathering


$6.29


Once upon a time, the plane of Alara was shattered into five planes, each distinctly populated with relative mono-magical culture that reflects each of the five colors. Now, the planes are beginning to realign and merge once more. As nefarious forces work to hasten the cataclysmic realignment for their own gain, the populations of once ordered planes struggle to come to terms with a new planar order in which long separated struggles between opposite clash once more; martyrs face executioners, fire and water, earth and air, growth and decay, the innate versus the artificial. Amid this chaos, Ajani, a fierce leonin planeswalker, struggles to bring justice and resolution to his brother’s death. Noble warrior Rafiq searches for the source of the of this evil that has invaded his world. And Sarkhan Vol, planeswalker and dragon hunter, taps into a power so pure and ancient, it threatens to consume him even as he revels in its unadulterated totality. An action packed story from the mind of one of the creators, Doug Beyer opens up the Shards of Alara (TM) set like no one else can. From the Paperback edition.
