so i get to get an early birthday present tomorrow. so im gonna get some cards. my budget is around 80 bucks. i cant go to my lgs because im not allowed. and i dont buy things online fear of scams. so ima go to my local walmart. so i was at walmart today and these are the products they have in stock.
dominaria bundles
amonkhet bundles
those cubes with a deck and 2 packs
packs from ixalan rix amonkhet hou and dominaria
intro decks
basically all planeswalker decks
duel decks
and they have a hazeret aggro challenger deck
chaos packs also
what should i get. my goal is to get cards to build a good deck to learn better game play
im leaning towards a dom bundle and the challenger deck. what you guys think?
oh quick story. so i bought a dom booster pack for fun. but i noticed most of the packs had been opened so i grabbed one that looked like it wasnt tampered with. so i open it and when i look through it the uncommons and rare are missing. so i return it and let the manager know about the issue. so i grab a hou instead and pull a locust god. nice. i dislike people who do these awful things i hope they get caught
anyways what do you guys think i should get? or if you have a better idea i would like to hear about it. lmk thanks

its good to learn from your mistakes.but i prefer to learn from the mistakes of others.
youre wasting your money. There are plenty of reputable online card stores that arent Ebay or Amazon. If you want to build a good deck, the best way to do that is to buy the cards for that deck. Although Oct is still a few months away, stay clear of cards from Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet, & Hour of Devastation as those cards will be rotating out of the Standard Format when the new OCT set is released. Since you cant leave the house, it makes even more sense to avoid those.
You aren't allowed to go to your lgs? Um ok, sure.
You don't buy things online? Not even from big name reputable sources, like CardKingdom or Star City Games, or Channel Fireball, to name just a few from the top of my head. They are big names, you won't get scammed from them. And you can get exactly the cards you want. Online doesn't have to be some 'shady' store/seller on eBay. Also I speak with experience, having both bought and sold cards on eBay myself.
But if you really want to buy from Walmart, that is certainly your choice.
As for what to buy, that comes down to you. Just buying booster packs (or bundles) isn't the best way to get a good or even consistent deck. As what you get will be completely random. You might find something good, but also get absolutely nothing interesting.
If you really want to get a good deck or learn the game better, then your best bet would be either the intro/planeswalker decks or a challenger deck. Intro/Planeswalker decks are weaker, but a good starting point for new players. It introduces you to different cards and everything you need to get going. Challenger decks are stronger, designed to be more competitive at FNM, and can have some pretty good value from what I remember for cards included.
Of course if you just wanna get better at the game, then that means you are going to have to head to FNM and play. You should usually be able to find some helpful players who can give you pointers on decks and game advice. There is some advice for you.
im not allowed to go to lgs or any store. because im on house arrest. the only stores im allowed to go are like walmarts and grocery stores. if the ping my ankle monitor and find out i was at a lgs or mall or comic book store im cooked meat. i aint going to jail for some magic cards.

i was going to buy from channel fireball but the person whos buying me the gift will not let me use the card online.(i already asked)plus they are leaving back home to the island tomorrow afternoon. im ordering some stuff online on my bday. i wouldnt feel right asking for the money and order the stuff on my bday. they want to buy me a gift tomorrow and i aint gonna stop them. so i only have these options tomorrow. trust me i wish i was able to order the cards i want. but like i said i dont feel right asking for the cash.
so stay away from those four blocks that are about to rotate. even tho i play mostly modern.
so what about the aggro deck and a dom bundle? lmk and if you got a better idea lmk.
maybe i can go to target since they sell groceries there too

Like I said, buying packs/bundles, etc is not the way to go. Have them buy you an $80 gift card from a bank or something. Im sure if you explain to them that you need to buy specific cards to reach a particular goal, theyll understand. Then you can shop online with your gift card. Also, Modern on an $80 budget might not even buy you 1 card in some instances.

that sounds like a good idea. i was also thinking of calling my lgs and have them put the cards i want aside and have my mom and grandma pay for them when they get there. idk we will see tomorrow. but now i dont know what cards to get to put a deck together. remember im still a noob. man i dont remember magic being this stressfull lol. anyone have an idea what kind of cards/deck i should put together? lmk thanks. remember im looking for something to relearn game play i dont need a million dollar deck. not yet atleast

Easiest way to get acquainted is to play a very non interactive deck. Something that's straightforward. Thats why I suggested something like Dino's. You can build a budget version for $80 and all it really wants to do is attack.
hey guys so this is what happened. my grandma really wanted to give me a gift before she left so. i put half the money in a account and the other my grandma got me the hazoret agrro challenger deck.
ima save the money until i get more money on my bday. and then grab some cards online.
decepticon im taking your list to account
i also would like more ideas
thanks guys
