Anything I should know before going in? She has 4 or 5 decks, and says she isn't good (the last person she taught to play beat her first game), but I've litearlly never played it before and just know it as "cool monster card game"

I'd look into the different formats, they all boil down to the rules for deck building. Standard is kinda lagging right now, but all that stuff is legal in Pioneer and I really like Pioneer. There's also Commander, a format developed by the community.

If you wind up buying packs, set boosters have better stuff than draft boosters.

Also don't get into Modern unless you're willing to pay upwards of $1000 for a deck.

    It's a good format. Decks can get a touch pricey, but you only need one copy each of the real game changers rather than the 2-4 you'd have in other decks.

    Oh also, 60 cards is the minimum deck size in most formats. You can put more cards in a deck, but the more cards you have, the less likely you are to draw the cards you want.
