Oath of the Gatewatch Intro Packs

~
Happy Thursday MTG peeps,

Yesterday on the mothersite, Blake Rasmussen provided the decklists for the Oath of the Gatewatch Intro Packs in the (new) Daily Magic Update column - linky over here.  We LOVE the new format / shake-up in the Daily MTG / Magic Arcana content and really appreciate that Wizards of the Coast is shining a spot light on the Magic: the Gathering fan community in this.

Anywhoos, we should yatter about the new Oath of the Gatewatch Intro Packs.  Overall, nothing very much to get excited about, but we will say that WotC has done another good job at showcasing the abilities of the new mechanics.  As usual, in all, there are five new Intro Packs which acquaint players with the powerful new mechanics and themes of the new set. They're the perfect product for introducing new Magic players to Oath of the Gatewatch. We suggest that if you pick up one of more of these Intro Packs, consider getting some sweet Ultra PRO sleeves and deckboxes as well. For a suggested MSRP of just $15 (U.S. only ), here's what you get - 


Contents
• Ready-to-play 60-card deck featuring a foil premium card and non-full-art Wastes
