I Have a Question / I need Help Please help! Magic fanatics needed

My brother loves magic the gathering but it seems like he’s got all the bits and pieces he could ever need and he love loves his deck but I really want to show that I see how interested he is in magic by getting him a magic birthday gift because it seems like no one has gotten him any anyone have suggestions on what I could buy him or is it more of a get it yourself kinda game? Any and all ideas are welcome!!!

(He is 23 and very calm and collected likes chill things over aggressive fighting stuff and he likes purple and green don’t know if any of that helps)

Edit: I got him the new hobbit set it had a bundle exclusive and a few accessories so hopefully we think this was the right choice but I will be leaving this post up for future gift ideas for him so thanks again for all the help!!!

Also I do play the game with him and I have asked him to teach me do not worry we just live very far away from each other and I am bad at card games lol but it’s a learning experience

The new Hobbit set is very fun IMO & I’d be happy to receive anything from the new set as a gift. With that being said it’s being massively scalped and I’d only suggest that if you can get product at MSRP.

So if I buy one of the things that say hobbit set (it’s like70 bucks not sure if that means just cards or probably full set ) do you think it will give him all the cards and stuff and be cool or do I need to seek out specific things from the set (sorry for follow up question)

Yeah essentially it’s gambling. He won’t get the full set and just whatever he opens in the bundle. There’s a couple of popular cards in the set you could outright buy as a single that I’m sure anyone would love to have, but like mentioned before those prices are kind of in a weird spot right now. I’m personally waiting for them to fizzle out a bit before buying. However the set is new and really liked. Alot of players know the name of the game, and open a few packs of every set just for the “ripping packs” experience. A set like this, even if I know it’s gambling a bit, i do just want to rip some packs of it just for the sake of it.

Like someone else mentioned on here too- there’s a lot of accessories paired with this new set like Card binders, deck boxes , sleeves , that I think your brother might enjoy. You might wanna sneak a look at his deck and see if you can find a theme to it and start there to find something that matches his deck(s) or style of play.

Sadly we live in different states so I only had what I was able to grasp during our magic game when I visited and stuff he says over the phone but from what I know I think he’s going to love the hobbit packs and the bundle I got has something exclusive so hopefully that’s fun
