I join a group of friends for an almost-weekly Magic: The Gathering game night. We decided it would be fun to try this Game Night box set instead of our usual Commander format, especially since we usually have 5 players.
This box set has preconstructed decks in each the five Magic colors, five spindown life counter dice, double-sided token cards, and a basic rule book. It's perfect for introducing anyone to the game, and it's a well-balanced way to play a match between experienced players.
Each deck includes a stat card indicating how the deck plays, and the other side of that card is a turn phase order reference chart. We never ran short of tokens in any of our games. The +1/+1 counters have not been used much, although they could be used to indicate the buffs given by other cards instead of being used strictly as counters.
Unfortunately, I have no pictures from the games themselves on my phone, but there is a consistent pattern in our group where everyone tries to establish a board presence that can both attack and defend without also drawing the wrath of everyone else, so it gets quite tense as we all maneuver into our best position to win until the last couple turns decide it all.
If you play competitively, this product will have little appeal, but I would say it's a far better intro product than the old Duel Decks, and it makes for an easy game night kit where you know no one is going to pull something obscure and overpowered from a custom deck. In my opinion, it's a home run for Wizards of the Coast in doing exactly what it is intended to do. Expect to pay around $40 MSRP at a brick-and-mortar store, or a few bucks less online where I recommend Miniature Market.
