Getting started playing the game of Magic the Gathering is a difficult task for new players. Constructing your first deck often stands as an obstacle, even if you learn the basic rules of play. That's why we heartily recommend pre-constructed decks for newcomers to the game! For those looking to play the Commander format, each new release also sees the release of pre-con commander decks! For those that are interested in a more traditional Magic the Gathering experience, then challenger decks are the way to go!
Challenger decks are based on actual winning deck lists from the top tournaments, they include all of the cards you need to start playing and can be played straight out of the box. This simple approach is perfect for new players, or even more experienced players that are just looking to try something a bit new or different. MTG releases a couple new challenger decks each year and even the decks from previous years can still hold up in a casual environment. Check out some of our favourite picks from past years down below!
