I know most people will be buying this for the lands, and I think WotC knows this too because they separated the full-art lands out into its own pile. That being said; They. Are. Gorgeous. The foiling is also the best I've ever seen on any magic card. I've included a comparison picture of the foil/non-foil lands. It's subtle, most of the foiling going towards the gold border, and best of all it doesn't feel like the cards will warp over time. They look better in person than online in my opinion.
The tokens are double-sided, no ads here. They look great as well, on par with the modern horizon token collection. It's funny having a 4/4 flying dragon on one side and a teddy bear on the other side. I'll be using these in normal MTG play as well.
It also includes 2x 6-sided dice that have their numbers crooked. A nice touch.
There's an instructions booklet that has the decklists of each of the 5 piles for replayability as well as the general idea of how to get started. Take 2 piles > Mix them up > play. Easy. Keep in mind each pile has 12 basic lands that are not full art, this is so when you mix 2x 30-card piles you will have the correct amount of land to play.
The games themselves are what you expect, fun and goofy. It's easy to pickup (especially if you sleeve all the cards), and the piles also come with the correct amount of lands. So all you need to do to "create" a deck is shuffle 2 piles together. The augment system was ingenious as well. There's a lot less meta-gaming and over the top cards and a bit more "playable" but still silly cards compared to previous un-sets. Black is the main culprit of unplayable cards such as "Booster Tutor" which needs you to open a booster pack to be useful, and "Enter the Dungeon" which has you play a subgame of magic at 5 life. A lot of the cards utilize the 6-sided dice as well, so be sure not to forget to put them back into the box once you're done playing.
If all WotC were this high quality I'd 100% be looking out for every new release. 5/5 would recommend to any MTG fan.

Really enjoying these cards. They are fun and easy to play with. Definitely adds a spin to the usual Magic The Gathering experience. Will be playing this for years to come. Only issue I have is the insert that is in the box. It fits everything snugly, but if you want to sleeve the cards (even with perfect sized clear ones) they no longer fit in the box. I wish they would have accounted for sleeving as the box art is just beautiful.

At £40+ it's an expensive way of buying two and a half theme decks plus some land
If you want two and a half mix and match pre-constructed UnSanctioned decks then this is one way of getting them.JonAt £40+ it's an expensive way of buying two and a half theme decks plus some land

There is a card list sheet (so you can reconstruct the pre-built half decks after each game) but no game rules, so you best already know how to play Magic the Gathering.
The box is mostly just wasted space. I'm unsure why companies do this, it leaves you with an immediate sense of disappointment when you open the box and look inside. If they had made the plastic tray so that it could hold extra cards, at least it would have been useful for card storage. As it is, the spaces only hold 30 cards and they don't hold cards with sleeves, so the plastic insert is junk if you sleeve your cards.
Wait for it to cost less than £20, then it will be worth the money.
