First Flight

The First Flight Starter Commander Deck is an excellent choice for anyone looking to get into Magic: The Gathering’s Commander format. The deck is ready to play right out of the box, making it easy for beginners to jump in without having to build a deck from scratch. The white-blue color combination offers a fun and balanced playstyle, with plenty of flying creatures, card draw, and strategic interactions that help new players learn the game while still being enjoyable for experienced players. The deck feels cohesive and well-designed, and the included legendary commander provides a clear game plan that’s easy to understand. I was impressed with the overall card quality and value included in the deck. It’s a great way to learn Commander, play casual games with friends, and start building a collection. Whether you’re new to Magic or looking for a solid preconstructed deck, First Flight is a fantastic option that delivers a fun and engaging experience.

This pre-con SLAPS. Like a lot of other reviews say, this is a surprisingly simple deck to play so it's great for first-timers. --or people with ADHD who can struggle with triggers/upkeep and remembering things--I feel you. D: Unsolicited advice for my ADHD MTGers: I place my cards from Left to Right by importance or order of operation that grants me the most and quickly read them in that order right before every turn. If I just KNOW I'll forget something, I mark it with a sparkly die or a lil tiny figure/whatever I have in my pocket/tiny piece of rock candy that comes in tiny packages that I have a few of in my travel kit-- to catch my eye. Sometimes, if it's a gamechanger, I'll put my finger on it until it's my turn. Legit sit there pointing at my card during 4+ other player's turns :P Hey, whatever works. There just isn't a ton of triggers or reading during upkeep for this pre-con, though. It's VERY helpful to have +/+ tokens or dice because like.. every. single. card. beefs up dudes you have that fly and every creature in this deck has flying!!! One card even boosts EVERY flying card *at the table*! It was an emotional rollercoaster last night against TWO zombie decks that were getting quite scary and I busted out that "All creatures with flying get +2/+0, All creatures without flying get -2/-0" We referred to their 18 x +0/+1 stack of zombies "fence posts" because they were useless afterward. Quick recovery after board wipes. Commander is 2 colorless, 2 white, 2 blue to play (yeesh) so it can get quite expensive to keep pulling out in a ruthless group but I always seem to have a ton of lands on the board, so it ain't no thang in the end. Plenty of card draw and +life right out the box. I usually have +10 more life than everyone early in game--last night I had 48 life when everyone was at 35-40 in first few rounds. Plenty of "nope" cards (with some hilarious flavor text) that saved my butt last night. 10/10 a fun, easy peasy pre-con and for the price, it's def worth adding to your collection!

Giving it a 5 start because this is a great Started commander deck to give to friends or family to play magic. You can find the card list online, so you won't be shocked about what cards you're getting. Definitely not for competitive play, more for a casual setting with friends. If you're ever looking to get into commander with some casual friends or getting into it 100% think any of the starter commander decks are a great start into you planeswalking journey. All cards were there and in good condition.

Great beginner deck. Went toe to toe with some of my more experienced friends and never felt like I was outmatched

This deck is SUPER easy to get the hang of and fun to play. It is pretty powerful and the price is nice. You don't get a collector or booster pack in it, but I don't mind at all. I once had 75 pegasus on the field. ;) The card inside this deck that does this is a legend. The commander is no joke, either.

My roommate and an old friend from high school recently started playing MTG Commander at the local card shops, and invited me to join. I didn't have any Magic cards. I had a standard white life gain deck well over a decade ago that likely got lost in a move which I built back in the '00s. But I really hadn't played since then. My roommate suggested MTG Arena to get reacquainted with the game. This deck is really focused on having creatures with Flying. It has some which can create flying tokens, but I think most, if not all, creatures in the deck have flying. I'd recommend going with the secondary commander, Kangee Sky Warden as it's a lower cost. I'd also recommend getting white/blue combination lands and enchantments that can produce lands. It's also good to have a couple cards that can give your creatures Flying as there are times when an opponent will clip your wings and TURN YOUR COMMANDER INTO A PIG! Having the Flying attribute is important as most creatures give buffs to other creatures on the battlefield with Flying. In summary, this deck is a good start for beginners looking to learn Commander, and if you end up enjoying white/blue, you can customize it and make it your own.

Very good beginner deck. Powerful for the price. Commander is a high drop.

Fun theme, newbie friendly.

A caixa veio um pouco avariada, mas não chegou a estragar a caixa. O envio foi super rápido. Estou muito satisfeito.

Honestly the best product for people brand new to commander, maybe skip the rakdos starter deck but pick up the other three if you have a brand new pod learning to play. Cards aren’t complicated but these decks can still pop off and would recommend having at least one person who knows what there doing. Great if you want to try mtg but don’t want to try and read entire novels on cards in your first game

El contenido es justo lo que esperaba, un mazo completo de commander para principiantes. Fuera del valor de las cartas, el detalle y la presentación del empaque es muy lindo, el mazo viene bien guardado y empacado, contiene unos cuantos contadores (por si no tienes dados) y las cartas de token, una cajita de cartón muy útil para guardar el mazo y un póster. Individualmente las cartas no valen mucho, pero te evitas comprar todo por separado sin gastar tanto.

Ho ricevuto il mazzo nella confezione originale, come si potrebbe trovare in qualsiasi negozio, incartato poi in una busta di carta — poca plastica, punti a favore. A differenza di molti altri packs, non includeva una carta formato maxi del comandante, ma personalmente non ho trovato che fosse una grande perdita. Il mazzo contiene 100 carte, come da descrizione, di cui 38 o 39 terre. Non ci sono fetch lands, bounce lands, o altre terre speciali se non quelle multicolore che entrano in gioco tappate: intuitivo dunque che non si tratti di un mazzo che si compra per ottenere terre rare. Il comandante ha un artwork che trovo perda molto con il tipo di foiling metallico con cui è stato stampato e questo è un po' un peccato perché è la "prima faccia" del deck. Oltre al costo elevato, questo sarebbe una delle motivazioni che porterebbero al cambio di comandante a mio avviso. Comunque piccolezze dipendenti dal gusto di ogni giocatore. Il prezzo è onesto, considerando la media del mercato. Mi sarei aspettata qualche foil qua e là per il piacere degli occhi, per quanto personalmente non sono un'amante di quel tipo di stampa e quindi anche qua sono contenta con ciò che ho ricevuto. Il mazzo contiene molte carte carine e, a differenza di altri che ho preso in passato, sono tutte sinergiche per un sistema di gioco basato su creature volanti. Ci sono un paio di counter e rimozioni a poco costo che aiutano il giocatore a controllare la partita con facilità. Un altro aspetto piacevole è che First Flight prescinde dalla tattica token, che ormai sembra mainstream per i mazzi MTG, permettendo dunque una certa varietà di gioco. Non penso che sia un mazzo che vedrebbe mai le luci di un torneo a mio modesto parere, ma l'ho trovato divertente da giocare anche senza modifiche da parte mia (cosa che era invece impensabile per altri commander che ho acquistato in passato). Questa, almeno per me, è la qualità più incisiva nell'attribuzione di una recensione molto positiva al mazzo. Cosa cambierei? Tutto sommato il mazzo non richiede grande sforzo di modifica, come già detto. Forse, poiché il bianco blu è spesso un abbinamento lento e di forte controllo, scambierei qualche rimozione con un paio di counter per difendere dagli effetti di ingresso in campo. Inoltre, inserirei qualche carta di ramp (es. simulacro solenne). Cosa mi piace? Le opzioni per pescare possono essere migliorate se pensiamo alla vastità delle carte di Magic, ma il mazzo ha comunque quell'obiettivo sempre in mente. La stragrande maggioranza delle carte permette di pescare minimo una carta, anche come trigger d'ingresso o attacco, se si tratta di creature. Le creature da giocare sono piuttosto leggere (almeno quelle bianche) e permettono un gioco tattico già dai primi turni. Le creature blu sento che siano fortemente dipendenti da dinamiche soggettive: classici mastodonti a costo 7 che vengono messi in campo a partita avanzata, quando si ha mana da sprecare. Hanno comunque effetti buoni che non mi dispiace giocare. Mi ritengo più che soddisfatta dell'acquisto e consiglierei il mazzo agli aficionados di MTG. :)

Bought it a while ago. A starter deck that was always fun to play if you're not playing against crazy custom decks.
