First Flight

I picked up this deck and was pleasantly surprised by how approachable it is for newcomers. The ready-to-play 100-card deck lets you jump straight into games without needing to build or fuss over complex interactions. Here’s what really stands out: The theme (Green-White tokens) is super intuitive: create creatures, grow them, and overwhelm your opponents. Great for learning the flow of the game. It includes helpful accessories and guidance: a reference card, strategy insert, tokens, and a deck box all help smooth the learning curve. The build quality and value are excellent. You get a lot for the cost, and it feels like a well-packaged introduction to the format. It works beautifully both for casual play with friends and as a stepping stone into deeper gameplay/background, because the mechanics are solid but not overwhelming. If you’re new to Commander, new to the game in general, or looking for a fun, easy-to-learn deck to hand off to a friend, this is a superb choice. It hits the sweet-spot of easy setup + satisfying gameplay. Highly recommended!

This pre-con SLAPS. Like a lot of other reviews say, this is a surprisingly simple deck to play so it's great for first-timers. --or people with ADHD who can struggle with triggers/upkeep and remembering things--I feel you. D: Unsolicited advice for my ADHD MTGers: I place my cards from Left to Right by importance or order of operation that grants me the most and quickly read them in that order right before every turn. If I just KNOW I'll forget something, I mark it with a sparkly die or a lil tiny figure/whatever I have in my pocket/tiny piece of rock candy that comes in tiny packages that I have a few of in my travel kit-- to catch my eye. Sometimes, if it's a gamechanger, I'll put my finger on it until it's my turn. Legit sit there pointing at my card during 4+ other player's turns :P Hey, whatever works. There just isn't a ton of triggers or reading during upkeep for this pre-con, though. It's VERY helpful to have +/+ tokens or dice because like.. every. single. card. beefs up dudes you have that fly and every creature in this deck has flying!!! One card even boosts EVERY flying card *at the table*! It was an emotional rollercoaster last night against TWO zombie decks that were getting quite scary and I busted out that "All creatures with flying get +2/+0, All creatures without flying get -2/-0" We referred to their 18 x +0/+1 stack of zombies "fence posts" because they were useless afterward. Quick recovery after board wipes. Commander is 2 colorless, 2 white, 2 blue to play (yeesh) so it can get quite expensive to keep pulling out in a ruthless group but I always seem to have a ton of lands on the board, so it ain't no thang in the end. Plenty of card draw and +life right out the box. I usually have +10 more life than everyone early in game--last night I had 48 life when everyone was at 35-40 in first few rounds. Plenty of "nope" cards (with some hilarious flavor text) that saved my butt last night. 10/10 a fun, easy peasy pre-con and for the price, it's def worth adding to your collection!

This is an excellent beginner Commander deck to learn on. I'm teaching my 13 year old son to play Magic and this deck plays really well against much more expensive and complex decks. It has some helpful abilities and triggers to make it competitive but no wall of text cards that make it difficult for him to wrap his head around. He's won against my wife and I a couple times playing upgraded precons.

Arrived on time safely. No damage to the product. No cards missing. Great deck for my mother's bday gift. Thanks guys.

Great start to a green and white deck. My first deck and if you swap a a few cards, it’s even effective.

My roommate and an old friend from high school recently started playing MTG Commander at the local card shops, and invited me to join. I didn't have any Magic cards. I had a standard white life gain deck well over a decade ago that likely got lost in a move which I built back in the '00s. But I really hadn't played since then. My roommate suggested MTG Arena to get reacquainted with the game. This deck is really focused on having creatures with Flying. It has some which can create flying tokens, but I think most, if not all, creatures in the deck have flying. I'd recommend going with the secondary commander, Kangee Sky Warden as it's a lower cost. I'd also recommend getting white/blue combination lands and enchantments that can produce lands. It's also good to have a couple cards that can give your creatures Flying as there are times when an opponent will clip your wings and TURN YOUR COMMANDER INTO A PIG! Having the Flying attribute is important as most creatures give buffs to other creatures on the battlefield with Flying. In summary, this deck is a good start for beginners looking to learn Commander, and if you end up enjoying white/blue, you can customize it and make it your own.

This was the first deck I bought for myself after being introduced to Magic. It is really simple and actually quite powerful, as flying will just let you attack each turn and there’s great counter spells and removal to get rid of important things your opponents play. I recommend switching out to the backup commander Kangee, as you will notice he always is helping buff your board, whereas Isperia is more expensive to cast and your opponents can just chose not to attack you. Isperia would be good if you upgrade the deck to be all about card draw. But it works better out of the box if you just assemble a flying army. The only downside of this deck is it is rather simple and after a couple months of playing it I am looking to make a deck or get a precon with more complexity, but as my titles states this is the perfect intro deck and you will be surprised as you hang in and even win against your friend’s more expensive decks.

Good Precon deck with a high cieling for upgrades

A caixa veio um pouco avariada, mas não chegou a estragar a caixa. O envio foi super rápido. Estou muito satisfeito.

Relatively new to mtg and I wanted to get a starter commander deck in preparation to play in person as I’ve been playing arena quite a bit and this is brilliant. Not played it just yet but I’m happy with the price and all the cards are great for someone just introduced to the world and mechanics of magic. Definitely recommend to new players looking for a good introduction that’s understandable and at a budget price point.

Ho ricevuto il mazzo nella confezione originale, come si potrebbe trovare in qualsiasi negozio, incartato poi in una busta di carta — poca plastica, punti a favore. A differenza di molti altri packs, non includeva una carta formato maxi del comandante, ma personalmente non ho trovato che fosse una grande perdita. Il mazzo contiene 100 carte, come da descrizione, di cui 38 o 39 terre. Non ci sono fetch lands, bounce lands, o altre terre speciali se non quelle multicolore che entrano in gioco tappate: intuitivo dunque che non si tratti di un mazzo che si compra per ottenere terre rare. Il comandante ha un artwork che trovo perda molto con il tipo di foiling metallico con cui è stato stampato e questo è un po' un peccato perché è la "prima faccia" del deck. Oltre al costo elevato, questo sarebbe una delle motivazioni che porterebbero al cambio di comandante a mio avviso. Comunque piccolezze dipendenti dal gusto di ogni giocatore. Il prezzo è onesto, considerando la media del mercato. Mi sarei aspettata qualche foil qua e là per il piacere degli occhi, per quanto personalmente non sono un'amante di quel tipo di stampa e quindi anche qua sono contenta con ciò che ho ricevuto. Il mazzo contiene molte carte carine e, a differenza di altri che ho preso in passato, sono tutte sinergiche per un sistema di gioco basato su creature volanti. Ci sono un paio di counter e rimozioni a poco costo che aiutano il giocatore a controllare la partita con facilità. Un altro aspetto piacevole è che First Flight prescinde dalla tattica token, che ormai sembra mainstream per i mazzi MTG, permettendo dunque una certa varietà di gioco. Non penso che sia un mazzo che vedrebbe mai le luci di un torneo a mio modesto parere, ma l'ho trovato divertente da giocare anche senza modifiche da parte mia (cosa che era invece impensabile per altri commander che ho acquistato in passato). Questa, almeno per me, è la qualità più incisiva nell'attribuzione di una recensione molto positiva al mazzo. Cosa cambierei? Tutto sommato il mazzo non richiede grande sforzo di modifica, come già detto. Forse, poiché il bianco blu è spesso un abbinamento lento e di forte controllo, scambierei qualche rimozione con un paio di counter per difendere dagli effetti di ingresso in campo. Inoltre, inserirei qualche carta di ramp (es. simulacro solenne). Cosa mi piace? Le opzioni per pescare possono essere migliorate se pensiamo alla vastità delle carte di Magic, ma il mazzo ha comunque quell'obiettivo sempre in mente. La stragrande maggioranza delle carte permette di pescare minimo una carta, anche come trigger d'ingresso o attacco, se si tratta di creature. Le creature da giocare sono piuttosto leggere (almeno quelle bianche) e permettono un gioco tattico già dai primi turni. Le creature blu sento che siano fortemente dipendenti da dinamiche soggettive: classici mastodonti a costo 7 che vengono messi in campo a partita avanzata, quando si ha mana da sprecare. Hanno comunque effetti buoni che non mi dispiace giocare. Mi ritengo più che soddisfatta dell'acquisto e consiglierei il mazzo agli aficionados di MTG. :)

Recomendado, buen mazo para iniciar en commander, y para modificaciones está excelente, lo usé como base para un deck cambiando el comandante por un Rhys The Redeemed y quedó muy divertido, de cualquier forma tal y como viene de caja es muy divertido OJO: No es un mazo fuerte ni competitivo, pero es de los más divertidos que tengo, super recomendado :)

A lot of fun
