So we’ve played a little MTGA online so we’re a little comfortable with the game but have no idea how to get into physical cards.

We’re interested in having mainly only LoTR ones but weren’t sure what to buy at the store.

Online it looks like there’s starters and boosters but what would be the best way to get like a lot of LoTR mainly cards?

Thanks!

    @Graphy commander is fun, but it’s a LOT for new players. Instead I’d recommend getting 2 starter decks specifically designed for new players (like intro decks).
    Another option I like to use is Jumpstart packs! They’re fairly simple and offer a lot of variety. Plus you can mix and match to customize the decks according to the new player’s preferences. That way they can get a feel for what colors they enjoy

      @Graphy to get a lot of LOTR cards specifically, the best value is to buy singles. If you just want a bunch of cards in hand you could buy a box and have fun cracking packs (more expensive, but possible to pull some of the most popular cards) or you could contact someone who buys and sells cards (like CardGardenMTG on Twitter) who sells repacks. They’re much cheaper, but do have the most chase cards already taken out. Still a good way to get cards if you want a variety.
