I've, for the most part already learned the basics in how to play so, much of what I've read thus far, which is about half the book, I already know. But I do like how the author gives the reader the basics in the beginning, then in later chapters dives deeper into the game. I find this approach doesn't over saturate the reader with information - in which there is a TON with Magic The Gathering in general!!I think for $7, you can't go wrong buying this guide. Especially if you want to keep it around just as a refresher or gift/loan it to someone just starting to learn how to play.You can also find a lot of information about Magic online at sites like Youtube, Wizards of the Coast, and Reddit, but its nice to have something handy that you can just sit down and read.If there is one source of material I wish I could find, either in a book or online somewhere, would be a place that deciphers card meanings. Most cards/decks, I've played have been straight forward, but there are a lot of cards whos descriptions in what they do can be confusing to a first time player or one with limited experience in the game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great MTG Fundamentals Source *by W***G on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019* Having watched my sons play MTG since 2000? I wanted to join in the action but so many rules! so many cards to learn! So I purchased an (older) more expensive book from 1995. Despite the great color photos, and many examples I still remained feeling inadept. I feared I'd never grasp the core game foundamentals to play semi-well let alone be competitive. It's hard to play with strangers when I had to keep asking questions on every card and every move! I decided to try this little book. While reading I reviewed my dragon commander deck cards as I went. Then light bulb clicked. This easy read book explained all the little details I needed to complete my mental grasp of the game. I have since played several matches and what use to take hours with only loses to speak of, I am now winning in a short 7-9 turns (Mana Blessings of course). I having learned the importance of mana generating cards ratios and ramping, I made some necessary changes in my deck. Great for beginners like me (I knew the game but didn't KNOW the game). Still more knowledge to gain via other players/decks, of course, but this little book solidified the MTG game. This book is really handy when gaming and a sematic question come up that needs a quick resolution. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good supplement for new and returning players. *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015* As a newer player of the game I found this to be a good companion to the 2014 duels of the planeswalkers game. The video game will step you through the basics and it helps to see it actually happen. The book is a good reference for when you move to the real, tangible cards.That being said the Magic Origins duels video game gives a better in depth explanation and execution of the turn structure, abilities, and nuances of the game. Play either video game to get a feel for the game, grab this ebook when you're ready to grab the real cards --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/14019051-magic-initiate-to-adept-a-guide-for-new-and-returning](https://www.desertcart.be/products/14019051-magic-initiate-to-adept-a-guide-for-new-and-returning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
