It depends on your budget I suppose but the following are decent:
Ultra Pro Satin Towers
Ultimate Guard Boulder 100+ (unless you have your decks sleeved with Dragon Shield; I found they didn't fit)
Ultimate Guard Sidewinder 100+ (not sure if this has the same issue as the Boulder with DS sleeves)
Legion Dragon Vault v2 for 2 cards
Ultimate Guard Flip n Tray
Ultimate Guard Twin Flip n Try (I personally prefer the Dragon Vault; again Dragon Shield sleeves might not fit)
Custom Deck box by Aaron Cain (this is what I use currently)
Just note that some (maybe all but the custom deck box?) might not work out if you are trying to use Perfect Fit Hards as your inner sleeves.

Mystic_X posted a message on Best product to reach new player withI have a couple suggestionsPosted in: Magic General
Put together a small cube from which to draft.
My cousin and I used to draft 8 piles of 11 cards (randomly chosen from a much larger pool of around 1000 for greater variance).
We would draft four piles (two each), then the others.
This (or a similar draft variation) will help teach card evaluation skills, relative card strength, and deck building, which are all important if she ever wants to join you for limited (prerelease or draft) events when stores eventually reopen.
Get Brawl decks
New players usually like having extra life and an extra card which they have access to any time.
The decks will be evenly matched, inherently synergistic, themed, and a good way to introduce her to Commander which has become increasingly more popular especially among players who prefer fun group social games and creative deck building as opposed to 4-of formats which are more streamlined, competitive, fast-paced, and occasionally tedious due to the restricted nature of repetitive gameplay sequences.
Duel decks (ie: Venser vs Koth, Garruk vs Liliana, Jace vs Vraska, Bolas vs Ajani, etc) are also good options for a new player, which is what I used to use when introducing people to the game.
Unfortunately they're not made anymore, too pricey to pick up now if you can find old ones unopened, and the solo Planeswalker decks which briefly replaced them never delivered enough value due to the powered-down variants of the walkers included. -

Bought a box and been using it to teach my ten year old through pack wars.
One drawback is only 1 of 24 packs was green so bad for teaching and value for me.
Too many blue packs which not easy color to learn on. -

motleyslayer posted a message on Best product to reach new player withI believe WotC provides stores with almost 'beginner' decks that are mono colour that you should be able to get for free. I'm not usre if they do those anymore but I remember seeing them within the past year.Posted in: Magic General
I've also seen some larger stores provide almost an "instant collection" with a lot of cards at each rarity -

ashrog posted a message on Best product to reach new player withIf what I described sounds interesting, take a look at Rookie Decks from Card Kingdom. They are simple, 60 card decks, each built around 1 color and an associated keyword (blue flying, red haste, etc). They are all commons and uncommons, so don't expect a huge amount of value, but they are affordable at $7 each or $30 for a set of 5.Posted in: Magic General -

ashrog posted a message on Best product to reach new player withIs your collection big enough to put together your own "starter set"?Posted in: Magic General
I would build 5 decks, one for each color. Make each one iconic for what the color does. White weenie, green stompy, red burn, etc. Don't make them run too fast, or you run the risk of the new player getting frustrated and giving up. You want the games to go on for long enough for her to ask questions and get a feel for each color.
Exactly what you put in each deck depends on the existing gaming knowledge of the new player. When I was teaching small kids to play, I started them out with french vanilla creatures and sorceries, adding the more complicated stuff (instants, auras, multicolor decks) later. But if she already has experience with, say, board games, you may be able to add a little more from the start. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

It’s obvious what each of us think is highly suggestive so this conversation ultimately does not need to happy. You, I and every other human being on the planet, have a different definition of emotion and sensetivity and reaction. So whatever. The problem though is even if you believe Sprankle’s initial cosplay video was too emotional and her being a baby, how on earth do Jeremy and his followers responses to that align with rational? Is the harassment she has suffered really okay because of a video you claim was too over emotional? I don’t understand. None of her side of this has had any threat of violence. His has. He’s enabling violence and harassment by regurgitating his hateful bull***** into the gaping mouths of his followers.

I’ll never understand why people think it’s acceptable to tell others how to feel. Just because your reaction to a situation is brushing it off within 5 minutes doesn’t mean that is how it has to be for every other person. If someone has a response you do not deem “reasonable,” that is your fault, not theirs.
