Bainbridge Island, WA – October 26, 2023 – Athena Sales LLC, a Washington-based distributor of hobby games and collectibles, is making it easier than ever for newcomers to dive into the captivating world of Magic: The Gathering. The company, located at 1110 Cherry Ave NE, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110-3950, is now heavily focused on distributing the official Magic: The Gathering Starter kits, designed to teach players the basics and spark a lifelong passion for the game. You can reach them at 606-226-6123. For those unfamiliar, Magic: The Gathering isn’t just a card game; it's a strategy battle, a collecting hobby, and a vibrant community all rolled into one. Created back in 1993, it's considered the original trading card game and continues to thrive with millions of players worldwide. But getting started can seem a bit daunting. That’s where Athena Sales and these new Starter Kits come in. “We’ve been watching the growth of Magic for years,” says a representative from Athena Sales LLC. “And we’ve noticed a consistent barrier to entry for new players. It's just a lot to learn! These Starter Kits really break down the complexity and give someone everything they need to learn and play, right out of the box.” What’s in the Starter Kit? It’s More Than Just Cards. These aren't just random booster packs. Each Magic: The Gathering Starter Kit is carefully designed as a “learn-to-play” experience. Here's the breakdown: Two Ready-to-Play Decks: You get two complete decks, each built around a specific color combination and play style. This means you can jump right into a game with a friend (or learn together!). No deckbuilding required – which is HUGE for beginners. The kits aren't just about playing; they’re about learning how a deck is constructed, what different card types do, and how to strategize. A Rulebook Designed for Newbies: Forget complicated, legalistic rulebooks. These Starter Kit rulebooks are written in plain English, with plenty of illustrations and examples. They walk you through the basics step-by-step, from understanding card types (creatures, sorceries, instants, etc.) to learning the phases of a turn. It’s like having a patient teacher guiding you through the game. Tutorials & Helpful Guides: The kits aren’t just about the rules; they show you how to play. There are suggested first games to help new players experience the flow of the game and understand basic strategies. The guides highlight key cards and explain how they work together. Learn-to-Play Videos (Available Online): Athena Sales emphasizes that players can also find helpful videos online, supplementing the in-box materials. Wizards of the Coast, the makers of Magic, provides a wealth of resources on their website and YouTube channel. Everything for Two Players: The kit contains everything two people need to learn and play – no need to buy anything else to get started. This makes it a perfect gift for friends, family, or anyone curious about Magic. Why are Starter Kits a Game Changer? Previously, getting into Magic often meant buying booster packs (random card packs) and trying to piece together a playable deck. This could be expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for beginners. Starter Kits change that. “We’re really excited about the accessibility these kits provide,” explains the Athena Sales representative. “It removes the intimidation factor and lets new players focus on learning the game and having fun.” Athena Sales: Your Partner in Gaming Athena Sales LLC isn't just a distributor; they’re passionate about games.
