This book is terrific if you have been playing Magic at the starter level and now wish to expand your play, or if you have been away from the game for a while and wish to get an update on the the 6th edition card set. There have been some simplifications and clarifications to the rules, and Mr. Buehler explains those very well. The book also contains chapters on strategy, deck construction, and the tournament scene, as well as a complete card list for 6th edition including everything on the cards except the art.
