I got this to have 2 decks to duel friends with, since both should be same power, and to teach anyone else how to play. It is a nice little starter. The 2 player instructions are very clear and the decks seem fine for fun deal, but I think they may be a little low on the mana (especially for running 3 types!)...The booster pack was actually the part I found the worse, since unlike some of the newer two player starters (like 8th and 9th), it seemed to a normal booster pack of 15 cards. I gave some of the cards from it to each deck, but there was still one spare card. The only thing that is listed wrong is that this version does have a booster pack, so I assume the gift box version just has a 2nd. While some of the newer 2 player starters, like 8th and 9th, are much simpler and easier to follow, this still does a great job.
