Incredible gameplay that turns magic on its ear!
My wife and I love MtG and we adored last year's Clash Pack. As such, when this new set came out, I had to get it--even if it's color scheme was the one I dislike the most Green-Black vs. Green-Black-Blue tricolor. When we first looked through the cards, my wife was really skeptical, as there are a ton of self-milling cards. Why on earth would you want to self-mill??However, when we got to actually playing the clashes, we discovered some of the most ingenious combo mechanics we've ever seen in MtG! This went from a deck set that I thought I would enjoy the least to the one that I think my wife and I enjoy the most. (And, if you or you magic competitor are bad losers, these decks are incredible because there can be massive swings of who's ahead, without anyone feeling curb stomped. It always feels to the loser like: "if I'd had one more turn, I'd've won!")If you've ever wanted to understand how cool the Delve mechanic (and other Graveyard matters mechanics) can be or see how the Constellation mechanic can actually be super powerful in the right deck, then you owe it to yourself to pick this up!

Great price
This was purchased by my son who is 9 and loves MTG. He says the quality of shipping package was good, the price was on point. He did say the themes of the two different decks were similar and that mixing and matching to create one deck was the way to go. Overall, he's pleased with his purchase.

Tons of fun, but not the most balanced matchup against each other.
These are tons of fun to play against each other, the delve mechanics are a blast. After a few games it feels like the Power deck has a pretty significant advantage over Profit. Profit is fun to play but never seems to get there and pull out a win, it's always a couple cards short of where it wants to be at any time during the match. Power has insane removal and can pretty handily deal with whatever Profit puts on the field, which keeps Profit shutdown most of the time. Still a blast, but not a terribly balanced matchup. Looking forward to combining and testing the combo deck as it seems like it adds more versatility to Power's already solid gameplay.I'd easily give this 5 stars for sheer value and fun but the relative power mismatch takes it down a notch. Still well worth buying.

Not the best for beginners...
So happy I ordered this! I'm just a noob at this game so I will write for people who are just starting out or only have played for a few months (like me). I personally find the Power deck to be nothing of interest to me, I still play it but I don't like it as much. It involes Delve which I am not a big fan of and I just don't get far with this deck. The Profit deck however is awesome!! Enchantment creatures and lots of enchantments. I have a lot of fun with the Profit deck! Its not the best deck for new players if you want to win now, its a great deck for player who want to learn and get better at the game. Profit involves a lot of skill and thinking. Overall its a great product!

Perfect for New Players
I'm so thankful that Wizards of the Coast released Clash Packs! They are PERFECT if you have children, siblings, friends, or other family that wants to get into MTG. I AWAYS keep Clash Pack decks in my back pack so that every time my siblings or a friend wants to learn how to play I have well balanced decks handy that are designed to compete well against each other. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't have much to offer experienced players. I would buy this over a starter deck any day!

Still fun, but Fate vs. Fury is Better
This Clash Pack was not as fun to play with as the last one (Fate vs. Fury). I would say the overall power level is a bit lower, and that the decks are less balanced (Profit seems noticeably better than Profit). Additionally, the only really great cards that are included are Courser of Kruphix, Hero's Downfall, and Whip of Erebos, all of which are now affordable enough that it's not worth buying this pack just for them. All in all, the decks are still fun to play with, just not as fun as Fate vs. Fury, which included things like the Voyaging Satyr/Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx combo.In terms of the quality of the product itself, the deck box is fairly low quality - very thin material that won't stand up to much of anything. Its tabs also seem to catch on mine so that the deck box is hard to open. Additionally, there is a bit too much space in the deck box, so the foils in the pack started to curl right away. They are now very obviously curved in my set, so you can tell when someone draws one of them.Overall, I would not recommend this product, and I wouldn't buy it again. I love the concept of Clash Packs, but the execution of this one was mediocre and uninteresting.

but is fun if you just wanna play a quick one on ...
Decent product, but is fun if you just wanna play a quick one on one game while being on an even playing field. I bought it cause it was on sale, and to add cards to my collection and trade binder, but they are fun to play against one another, and could be combined to make an even better deck.

Really Solid!
Really glad I purchased this! A bunch of teammates used to play when we were little so I grabbed this Clash Pack to play around with. Friends ended up purchasing other decks and I just combined the two decks. Tons of fun, great value. Think about it this way, it is probably fun for 20 or so plays so you're paying around a dollar per game.
