Magic: The Gathering Foundations Beginner Box

The best way to start playing Magic: The Gathering. The Foundations Beginner Box includes two complete ready-to-play decks, a learn-to-play guide, and everything two players need to start playing Magic from the very first game.

Foundations is the definitive entry point into Magic: The Gathering — a curated set of essential cards, clean mechanics, and MTG staples that new and returning players actually need. Standard-legal until 2029, it's built to last as the backbone of new players' collections for years. If you're starting out, this is where to begin.

What's In The Box

2 x 60-card ready-to-play decks (different colour pairs, balanced against each other), 1 learn-to-play guide, reference cards, spindown life counter die. Everything needed for a first game — no additional purchases required.

This is a physical card game starter set — not MTG Arena (the digital version). These are tangible cards you play face-to-face. After learning with this set, cards are compatible with all other Magic: The Gathering physical products.

Who it's for: anyone playing Magic: The Gathering for the first time — including complete beginners, teenagers, families, and anyone learning alongside a friend. No prior knowledge needed and no other purchases required to start playing.
