What box/set should I buy as a new player trying to get lots of playable cards?
Started playing around a month ago, and so far I've just been building decks via buying singles through moxfield-supported sites, and proxying some expensive stuff.
I'd like to have a binder or collection of cards that I can pull from for decks, and am trying to figure out what would be the best set or large collection of cards to purchase for the best results.
My friends who got me into the game have recommended:
- Foundations Booster Box (the container of tons of individual packs, just buy the whole thing for like $150)
- Go to a local lgs and look for a massive collection of just commons/uncommons (or potentially off ebay)
- Foundations Starter Kit
- Continue to just build my own commander decks and buy singles.
I like the ideal of opening packs to get valuable cards like Mana Drain without having to drop 40+ dollars on a single, but I understand that mindset is a gateway to pack cracking gambling addiction, lol.
Any advice? I only player EDH at the moment, and not in any competitive setting. I am open to proxying, but i try to limit how many cards per deck that I proxy pretty low.
