I am considering buying a fat pack to start to play magic the gathering, i played before some other card games like yugioh, but i am looking forward to mtg. Considering the current fat packs, i was wondering if they are coloured base?(i mean the 2 decks inside and boosters), and what other differences come with the fat packs. Also if you can give me some information for a newcomer to this card game, would apreciate it. Thanks

it's completely random, a Fat Pack is simply 9 boosters and some land
buying boosters just to get cards is a bad idea, it's much cheaper to buy the cards you want as singles or if you want a large collection fast buy playsets of common/uncomms (runs you about $20-40 per set, so for $100-200 currently you can get a playset of every common and uncommon in Standard right now)
if you want prebuilt decks check out the duel decks (if you don't plan on playing tournaments) or the Event Decks (if you do plan on playing Standard tournaments), but with the Event Decks be careful because of the rotation, many of them have been destroyed by that

what about the intro pack? Well i guess i want to play in tournaments eventually.I misread the fat pack(thought that the 2 deck boxes, were 2 premade decks not boxes,thanks for clearing it up). I want something for starters, and which after that i can improve to maybe play some local tournaments.

the Intro Decks are badly built, but because of the 2 boosters in them not that bad value
they will not serve as a basis for a tournament deck, they are simply too bad for that, they are built to highlight mechanics, not to win
for starters as I said I recommend Duel Decks or Event Decks
Duel Decks has 2 decks in them, they are tuned to be played against each other and has older cards in them
Event Decks are built to play in tournaments, they are competitive enough to stand a chance at your local FNM (depending on your meta, of course) and come with tips to improve them further
right now Event Decks are in a bit of a bad spot because of the rotation, best to wait for the 2 from RTR that come out later this month
if you can't wait check out the "Sweet Revenge" deck from M13, that mostly survived the rotation and just needs minor adjustments to be Standard legal again

Gleeful Flames could be saved for Standard once you are ready to enter tournaments "Red Deck Wins" is always a solid budget option for tournaments however most of the "money cards" in it are no longer Standard legal, so it will probably be cheaper to build it from scratch anyway Spiraling Doom is worse, because it loses its key card: Birthing Pod  so don't get that one

www.lexshop.ro/c14-magic-the-gathering this is what my local store has in his inventory(some of them are out of stock) but if i were to order from another city, i would just pay a fee from which i could buy atleast 1 booster. So it's in my interest to buy from my local store. If you have any other suggestion, please let me know. But up until now you've been a big help, thank you very much:D.

The site that i posted has the cheapest event decks form romania.Not big difference but still, the event desks there are 99 "lei", and on other romanian sites (with more event desks) it's 120"lei"+ around 20 "lei" for transportation. And ordering for abroad in romania it's hard and pretty expensive believe me, and also on amazon.co.uk the prices are just about the same, considering the fact that 1 $ = 3.5 "lei".
