If WotC came to you with a plan to make a "babby's

I'd say that your boss wouldn't be terribly impressed that your trying to use 4chan to do your homework for marketing strategies.
also isn't the deck builder tool box meant exactly for this kinda stuff? $20 for like 100 common/uncommon and then 4 packs from recent sets, plus lands.

If the deckbuilder's toolkit is supposed to be this, it's godawful at it. A couple packs and a bunch of lands with some randomly selected foil and some meme cards don't really make a playset. The idea might have been there but I was thinking closer to something you could buy, play with a friend or three for an hour or two, then put away next to monopoly or something until next time everyone's bored.

why not go to your local game store and ask for welcome decks?
that's what the welcome decks are

>>52997630
A $50 blister with 2x Arid Mesa, 2x Sacred Foundry, 1x Inspiring Vantage, 1x Clifftop Retreat, a Premium Full Art Plains, a Premium Full Art Mountain and a booster of the current set.
Repeat for each color pair forever.

If people have good manabases avaliable they're more likely to spend $100 in cards like Snapcaster, Goyf, Lilly of the Veil, etc. Because they feel like they can play them even if they literally don't have anything else for the deck they're building.

>>52997630
24 packs of a set(doesn't matter which), some sleeves, basic land/tokens and instructions on how to play sealed

>>52997630
>A full playset of each of the original dual lands
>a spin down dice
>some sort of instructions

This actually would've been awesome, it's so hard to play multiple decks in modern since if I want to change colors I have to buy different fetches/shocks/whatever and they usually costs more than the "cool cards"

>Each deck includes 1 special rare that cannot be found in other Magic products!

Wizard's blurb about the welcome decks. Attached image is one of those exclusive rares.

They should at least make them new cards.

>Put $50-$60 dollars worth of cards in box.
>Sell for $40-$50

Why not? You guarantee selling out your entire stock of the things just from greedy re-seller companies buying them all up, it's like printing money.

Is the deck builders toolkit not good enough?

What about making some competent planeswalker/starter decks?

>>52997630
The product already exists: CardKingdom's Battle Decks. Except they're 10 bucks because no one is buying a 40 dollar product to start mtg.

>starter box/set for colors
>50-60 dollars
>how to make it enticing

Print iconic cards like Dark Ritual, Lightning Bolt, etc. and put in full art lands that aren't going to be reprinted anywhere else. This kills the secondary market and makes you sell them all out really quickly because at that point you will have people killing other people to get their hands on it.

Also makes collectors wet their pants because if you do maybe three full runs of it (like how they do the set wise) you will have a common enough product to not have the Nintendo limited run forced shortage and people get to put it in their attic until 10 years from now when they're like 1,000 a piece sealed.

Three different versions, basic colors, allied colors, and enemy colors. All contain
>five 45-card decks with a basic strategy fitting the color
>5 boosters
>5 semi-random boosters, each one matching one of the decks
>no absolutely trash cards like 5-mana "kill target creature" or 3-mana "+4/+4" or 2-mana shocks, but no Bolts of Boomedangs either

Decks would have a basic curve, and cards that teach the mechanics without getting too technical. Two copies of each card at least.

Allied would come with one shock and one filter-land per deck, as well as a playset of the Tarkir land.

Enemy lands would have two fetches,
And Tarkir land.

Basic colors would have all full-art basic lands, and a deck unique planeswalker because magic them a basic cars type and then locking them behind mythic rarity is stupid.
>two copies of each
>color specific character (a green elf, a red goblin, a black vampire, a white cat, and a blue merfolk or whatever)
>3-4 mana so they're not PW deck terrible
>either only two abilities, or no "final"

All this being said, making $15-20 duel decks instead will probably get new people to pick them up more easily. Two decks following the rules I put down, extra lands and a few boosters, good land.

FUCK Wizards not making good and necessary land available, and making walkers and then insisting on making them chase mythics.

I was inspired to make a set of decks like this after finding out about Rookie Decks from TCC and taking a look at the absolute garbage they were composed of. Mine run around $40-$60 each and feature cards with equally powerful effects that show off the unique ways each color does the same thing.
