I can confirm that these kind of booklets were available up to at least 8th Edition as physical copies: I bought some kind of introduction pack which contained two 40 card theme decks and a quick start guide (see, it's the rulebook that's available as a PDF). So: Where and how do the Basic Rules booklets actually get distributed, if at all? Where would I expect to find or see one in real life? All of that, and I've never seen even one of the Quick Start Guide booklets. I live in Australia, I started shortly after M14 was released, and at various points I've opened booster boxes, fat packs, intro decks, and duel decks and been to pre-release events and the M:tG booth at a couple of Penny Arcade Australia Expos. Instead, the only physical rules printing I've ever seen are these little fold-outs that come in the intro packs and fat packs, which are good enough to get you started but skip many vital details: I've heard from several sources that M:tG intro decks used to come with basic rulebooks, but that's no longer the case. It explains so much about the game, and if every MtG player had one of these, I bet we wouldn't have half the confused beginner questions we get. The M15 version is available from the Wizards site.ĭespite being such a great resource, I've never actually seen this in the form of a physically printed booklet even once. Magic: the Gathering has a basic rules PDF, aka the Quick Start Guide, that was instrumental in my understanding the basics of the game ( like the stack and spellcasting).
