Hey everyone,

I've been looking into making my magic card collection bigger ( I just started ). I have been looking at deals online, specifically amazon. I know some people put bad reviews in because they are to stupid to read what the text about what they are buying.

Does anyone have any experience with theses deals?

If not does anyone have any places they recommend to buy from?

Also booster packs seem to be giving me crap. As in I haven't gotten any green cards worth while.

Any tips on how to build my collection or should I just buy single cards or is there a better way?

Thanks for listening,

The Loud MacLeod

amazon sells magic cards?

buying booster packs for cards is a waste of money, buy singles from dedicated shops like channelfireball, starcitygames, trollandtoad etc. (I can't actually comment on these shops because I don't use them)
some shops also have packages like playsets of all common/uncommon of a set for $20-40, that should make building a useful collection easier and more economic than cracking boosters

Singles on the web is the best way to go. You build decks very cheap that way.

i buy cards at my local comic shop where the fnms are held...
 
if you ask one of the store owners to help you with a deck, especialy if your a noobie, they hook you up with some real good cards....
 
usualy for free 
 
if not free discounted by a whole hell of a lot
 
my comic shop helped build me a deck and i got anything from uncomins to rares and some realy good comons and i only had to pay like 2$ for like 
 
30+ cards
 
 
 
good luck to you and happy hunting

Another shop you can love resonable ok at is manaleak.com. they have reasonable prices and if you want to buy a large amount you can negotiate discounts, they also give a free rare with every order and if you spend £70.00 you can get a free booster pack, im not sure what £70.00 is in dollars if your from the us. they have a flat rate postage as well
