Starter Set
A repackaging with two of the five decks and two life counters was sold as a Starter Set in December 2017. This 2-Player Starter Set for Magic: The Gathering was presented as a learn-to-play product aimed at new players. It was available in local game stores and mass-market stores, for an MSRP of $9.99.

The poor quality of the packaging and the fact that it contained decks that previously were given out for free created doubts if this was an official Wizards of the Coast product. However, it would later be further developed in the Spellslinger Starter Kit and the Arena Starter Kit.
