As a brand new player, I have been really intrigued by the whole game of Magic.  It took a little bit of time before I could really catch on to some of the more subtle points of the game, but the basics were actually pretty easy to grasp.  I began with the pre-constructed decks, but those get boring!  Then I saw a sign saying Magic Cards for sale and I just had to dive in.  I found so many single cards and even a few booster packs that I thought looked really interesting.  I doubt I will ever play with an already made deck again!
