Do NOT Waste Your Money
Okay, first and foremost...I love Magic The Gathering and was super psyched to find this deal here, especially for such a reasonable price. After waiting a few days past the stated delivery time, it finally arrived in a box with some RANDOM guy's name on it. (It was not the name of any company, and certainly not the company advertising this.) I opened the box and began sorting through the cards to find that I had made a tremendous mistake and had essentially flushed $[...] down the toilet for the following reasons: 1. The description states that this product has "great variety" and "light" duplication of cards. It also says that there are more than 1,000 cards to make up for what duplicates you might end up with. HOWEVER, I ended up with (and I count) 120 copies of the EXACT SAME CARD. 2. This excessive duplication continued throughout the entire set of cards, and I now have about 40 of the this card, and another 30-some of another. 3. Therefore, NO amount of "additional cards" to "make up for the duplications" will make up for the fact that I have about TWO DECKS' WORTH of the SAME CARD and ended up with only about 200-some cards, considering all or most of them had about 20-some duplicates. 4. It says it has cards from a variety of different sets. This is true, but KEEP IN MIND that if you are wanting to play these at any STANDARD tournament, NONE of them are new enough to be used in current game-play. Unless you just play with your friends, these are essentially useless. 5. The "25 rare" statement is also a LIE. I opened the box and the first thing I found was an actual plastic-wrapped set of cards, which I took to be the so-called "rares." While a few of them were in fact "Rare" cards, a majority of them weren't and were no different than the other cards of the set. SO, in summary, I don't want you to fall victim to the same scam that I have now fallen for. In preparing to order this, I made a point to read over the reviews and see what others had thought so far. All of the reviews on here seemed quite positive, which convinced me to order the product and waste almost $[...] on essentially nothing. Please take this review into consideration before ordering this product. I will not sugar-coat anything, but do my best to provide you with the information so you are aware of the truth behind this and this particular distributor. If you love the game, or are interested in starting a deck for yourself, this is NOT going to be a helpful product, and I don't want to see you waste your money like I already have. Good luck in your search for cards elsewhere! Game On.
