This review is from: 1000 Magic the Gathering Cards Plus Bonus 25 Rares (Toy)

Okay, first and foremost...I love Magic The Gathering and was super psyched to find this deal here, especially for such a reasonable price.
After waiting a few days past the stated delivery time, it finally arrived in a box with some RANDOM guy's name on it. (It was not the name of any company, and certainly not the company advertising this.)
I opened the box and began sorting through the cards to find that I had made a tremendous mistake and had essentially flushed $[...] down the toilet for the following reasons:

1. The description states that this product has "great variety" and "light" duplication of cards. It also says that there are more than 1,000 cards to make up for what duplicates you might end up with. HOWEVER, I ended up with (and I count) 120 copies of the EXACT SAME CARD.

2. This excessive duplication continued throughout the entire set of cards, and I now have about 40 of the this card, and another 30-some of another.

3. Therefore, NO amount of "additional cards" to "make up for the duplications" will make up for the fact that I have about TWO DECKS' WORTH of the SAME CARD and ended up with only about 200-some cards, considering all or most of them had about 20-some duplicates.

4. It says it has cards from a variety of different sets. This is true, but KEEP IN MIND that if you are wanting to play these at any STANDARD tournament, NONE of them are new enough to be used in current game-play. Unless you just play with your friends, these are essentially useless.

5. The "25 rare" statement is also a LIE. I opened the box and the first thing I found was an actual plastic-wrapped set of cards, which I took to be the so-called "rares." While a few of them were in fact "Rare" cards, a majority of them weren't and were no different than the other cards of the set.

SO, in summary, I don't want you to fall victim to the same scam that I have now fallen for. In preparing to order this, I made a point to read over the reviews and see what others had thought so far. All of the reviews on here seemed quite positive, which convinced me to order the product and waste almost $[...] on essentially nothing.
Please take this review into consideration before ordering this product.
I will not sugar-coat anything, but do my best to provide you with the information so you are aware of the truth behind this and this particular distributor.
If you love the game, or are interested in starting a deck for yourself, this is NOT going to be a helpful product, and I don't want to see you waste your money like I already have.

Good luck in your search for cards elsewhere!

Game On.

2.0 out of 5 stars A great idea, but overpriced, January 24, 2009

If you are a casual player looking to bulk up your collection, random assortments are a great deal. Yes, you are likely to end up with a bunch of duplicates, junk cards, and apparently foreign language cards, but that's perfectly OK since you are getting tons of cards, many of which will be perfectly usable.

I do recommend that you shop around. I just visited a couple card shop websites and saw similar offers for at least 50% less than this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Magic Cards, July 10, 2009

PROS:
- Good value for price
- Mint Condition quality
- Recommended for Beginner to Intermediate players


CONS:
- Few to no lands, if need lands look for different product
- Cards wrapped in paper rather than a typical magic cards box so you have to come up with your own way to store the cards (however, they were packed very well and no damage)
- Not recommended for Experts; better off buying specific cards.

OVERALL:
As someone else said, a great buy for anyone wanting to beef up their collection really quickly or someone coming back after a long break to catch up on a lot of the common and uncommon cards missed out over the past few years.
