Best way to get into mtg with my wife? (lemmy.world)

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!

The first purchase I made was a commander deck. It's relatively inexpensive and has enough unique cards to get a good sense of what the different play styles are. We eventually mixed and matched to create a variety of decks out of those cards.

You could also buy a box of draft boosters. This is what we tend to do now when new sets are released. It's fun to open the packs and have a draft night before using the cards to make a bumch of new decks.
