Not the latest set since the boosters are reduced to 12 cards per pack. Maybe an older set which the boosters are 15 cards per pack so he/she can have a larger card pool. And I wouldn't recommend him/her to play commander as a beginner to MTG 😂 it'll destroy his/her interest in the game because other older players already have decks that are a lot stronger.
set boosters are great for new players to get inspired! For a baseline product though, I think friends should help them build super focused budget decks that they can tweak and edit, or they should pick up precons.
I think The MtG: Arena tutorial is a good way to learn the game first. It's visual and interactive so you get you get a better experience of learning it. Then I'd actually say the starter kits do a good job of introducing someone to actually start playing. I agree with what someone said earlier. Commander isn't really a good way to start leaning magic, especially since it's so different from other formats.
The first Magic product I bought was a Bundle. Thinking back on it, I probably would have started with a precon if I knew I was mainly gonna play commander.
I have so many cards, I'm more liable to build someone a mono colored 60 card deck and bring up a TH-cam video of how to play. I'm a horrible teacher, myself.
I know it's about sealed products, but, apart from decks, buy singles have been better... The prices and taxes at Brasil are astronomic to buy boosters (25 to 50 Bucks).
My opinion... Commander is not a great starting point if you’ve never played a TCG card game. • Step 1 : Help a beginner download Arena to do the tutorial and learn the basics.😮 • Step 2 : Buy bulk commons, and make pauper decks with them, or custom jumpstart packs to play and build a pauper cube to draft with them. My way is to get a box of commons from 2-3 sets only, and build a cube and decks from that because fewer keywords and mechanics to learn, and more intented synergies.
There are SO MANY products to choose from - which would you buy for someone just starting MTG???

It might be a good idea to incorporate budget into the discussion.
What a brilliant video. Great advice, simple and practical.

Matt highly recommends buying whatever packs etali comes in.
Yes. Or just buy Etalis
Thank you. I’m new to mtg and this has really helped me
That's awesome! You're very welcome :)
The simple and sarcástic answer "what fits in your finances" 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Instant-like for Matthew in the intro
My first product was Simic Flash standard deck from Throne of Eldraine. Then I got into commander and never looked back
Lol nice
Just found your channel, really like it keep it up
Thanks!!
Your video helped me alot thanks
edmund. starting making videos about combos. so beginners can build around wincon combos
The product new players need is someone to teach them basic rules and concepts.... then 6 draft boosters.
However it might be cool to have a format that is restricted on its rules text? 2 lines-16 words without reminder text?
I have so many cards, I'm more liable to build someone a mono colored 60 card deck and bring up a TH-cam video of how to play. I'm a horrible teacher, myself.
Makes sense!
Any tips on a person who wants to start a collection?
@@SalmpnDO NOT do it. find a better way to spend your time and money
Yay, buster pack!! Thank guys, I really appreciate the info.
I know it's about sealed products, but, apart from decks, buy singles have been better... The prices and taxes at Brasil are astronomic to buy boosters (25 to 50 Bucks).
Wow. Yeah, buy singles then!
@@QMTG How much is a booster at your country?
I'm a simple man. I like monsters.
can you use the collector's cards to play?
When there are multiple paragraphs on each card, there is no such thing as beginner product.
My opinion... Commander is not a great starting point if you’ve never played a TCG card game.
