A solid primer on playing and deckbuilding for MtG. As someone new to the game I can say that the book remains relevant today, but much if not all of its lessons can be found online in tutorials and videos. Still a good read for someone completely new to MtG.

I'm brand new to Magic: the Gathering. I've found this book to be really helpful for learning basic deck strategies, and for learning about the classic cards of the game. Although the rules are out of date (see their website for up to date rules) I think this book is really valuable for beginning Magic players. Recommended.
