For beginners there are the starter boxes (I forget what they are called) that include a whole bunch of cards from recent sets and a bunch of lands; I'd recommend that over an intro deck since they will also lead him to build a deck which is what I consider the best way to get better at magic (outside of playing obviously)
Duelis Toolbox, I opened 3 mythical in 4 packs and a good rare
Spark Trooper did work for me , every time I played it no one blocked it plus it was my third creature once and there was a 20 point difference after that
An average Adrian Peterson play involves him getting a good solid carry for twenty yards and than...fumbling the ball away to the other team. Negating all his awesome yardage gains, running abilities, and natural talent. Number one requirement for being a running back? Not being fumble happy and ball handling. That's what keeps Adrian Peterson at the level of "being good" as opposed to being "exceptionally great".
Adrian Peterson fumbled the ball 3 times this year, young AP struggled with fumbles
Barry Sanders = Best guy who never played for a good team.
Emmitt Smith = Worst guy who did play for a good team (did horrible when he went to Arizona)
None on that list hold a candle to Gale Sayers, Franco Harris, or players back in the old era.
"Oh, he's in the grasp of a defender. We had better whistle the play dead, so he doesn't get hurt!" ~ said no classic era player EVER.
Emmit Smith was 34 when he played for the cardinals if you can show me a good modern running back that is still good at that age I would be shocked
Personally, I do not trade because I do. Of know the value of most cards and I probably don't have much of anything that someone would want However, I will buy from people if they want
