Pretty neat, anyone who is a fan of sealed products should pick this up. Inexpensive and something most people dont have in their collection. I picked up two one to keep closed and one for introducing others to magic.

I got this so I could have 2 decks to duel friends with that are about same strength so one didn't win over other. I haven't tested much yet, so one could out power the other, but it’s a nice 2 60-card deck set. The instruction where a bit harder to understand then 9th or 8th edition starters for teaching someone new to play. Both deck are 3 colored and use fairly old card, which was why I was surprised to see the price was as low as it is. The box is made to be a portable case to put cards in and seems to work well at that. So overall, I would say it is a nice set to start with, although some cards aren’t even in extended anymore.
