    Bought English and received Spanish

    Bought the English version but received all the Spanish version. The top box is written in English and the bottom box and all the game pieces are in Spanish. I reached out to Target and they said they didn’t find any error on the fulfillment side and the item can’t be returned to the store. I looked into the manufacturer and they have a process to replace defective items bought at a retailer. Overall I do not recommend buying this item from Target right now.

    Deceitful

    Product description and box are all in English. Cards are in Spanish. Returns or exchanges are not allowed so I basically wasted my money.

    What are you waiting for? Buy it!

    This is awesome for new players! I'm completely new to the game and this has been a great introduction piece. A month later and I already own over 1500 cards all because this product delivers on so many levels. It's a must have I believe. And after you learned the game you can even take the cards from this set to use as well because all the cards will be "Standard" legal until at least 2029. Good luck fellow Magic the Gathering players!

    A perfect way to learn

    This was the perfect way to introduce magic the gathering to my son. After the “tutorial” game, he woke up the next morning and asked “can we play magic??”
    Happy dad
