I'm looking to play casually (in person) with some friends and we were wondering what the cheapest format to start buying for would be? And what might be some good pick ups (we have the starter decks but want some more variety) thanks!
I don't know if it's the cheapest but I recently got back into magic after 15 years and my friends have been playing eternal brawl.
It plays really well with 3-4 players but works for 2-6. Like commander you have a commander but only 60 cards and all of your cards need to be from a block to avoid bad combos.
It's possible to set up a deck for a few dollars if everyone is avoiding expensive cards and using a few sets old block usually means most cards are a few cents.
