Hello, been hanging around mtgsalvation for a year now. Finally decided to make an account
For this summer holiday i was considering buying 3 planeswalker decks, to play with my two kids (one for each). And then i stumbled over the archenemy nicol bolas box, and figured that may be the way to go. Å bit more expensiver though..
What would people here recommend? Im looking for balanced decks so we can play against eachother (and also 2vs1, mainly me against my kids)
Archenemy is probably best played 3 vs 1; so if it is just 3 of you playing, it may not be as fun to play. (You can try to adjust the rules but it can be awkward). So in that respect, the Commander decks may be your better pick.
You might want to look into the Commander Anthology that also just came out. It has 4 decks (and costs more than Archenemy), and comes with the life counter spinners. The extra deck might be useful for some variety and to help you and your kids find a deck theme they like to play.
Otherwise, I'd probably look to get some Commander decks and go nuts.
I agree with Taeolas regarding Archenemy: if it'only the 3 of you, It could not be the best game experience. I would go with the Planeswalkers' decks and not with the Commander ones though, especially if your Kids are new to the game. Although you could go with Commander, but the decks are a lot more complex than Planeswalker ones. How old are tour Kids?
Planeswalker decks are good for starters. Archenemy is better when your children are more experienced in the game. Commander is harder to play because of its mechanics, and I'd recommend the 60 card decks for sure. Plus, the planeswalker decks come with booster, so it'd be fun opening them...

Any thoughts?
