Welcome to the Magic The Gathering Club, where we organize the DF community's active or wishing to become active Magic players, things have died down a bit, especially since I've dropped support for the tournament system(which you can see below), but I'm hoping the magic community around here remains strong.
Here is a link to how I assembled random decks and boosters. Here we use
Apprentice for our games,
be sure to download all the patches with the full download.(just get the following)
Scars of Mirroden patchYou may also get apprentice here in a 7z file.

We also provide a service for random decks and random booster packs, with a tournament system for obtaining points, which are used to 'purchase' the aforementioned boosters.
When you join you may request to enter the 'tournament system' in which a random deck will be generated for you. When requesting a deck, specify one or two colors and you will receive a full 60 card deck with 15 card sideboard to start with.
From that point you can challenge other players to one on one games, after which the victor will be rewarded with 15 points, and the loser 5(be sure to announce your wins and losses). Or enter one of the tournaments which may be organized in the near future, tournaments have higher point rewards and 'grand prizes' Of course all revolving around the cards or points.
You may turn in points for the following:
-10: Standard Booster Pack(15 cards)*
-20: Mono Booster(15 cards, single color)*
-25: Twin Pack(15 cards, two colors)*
-30: Rares Pack(5 rares)
-50: Mega pack(60 cards)*
-50: Mono Rares Pack(5 cards, single color)*
-100: Random Deck(similar to starter decks in that you choose one or two colors, basic lands are replaced by normal cards, you may not select colorless, 75 cards, 5 of which are guaranteed non-basic lands)
-100: Mythic Card(1 mythic rare, color of choice)
*you may name a specific block or expansion with these, otherwise they draw from all MTG cards like the others.
When choosing colors, you may select colorless unless stated otherwise.
A normal booster can only have 1 rare, 2 if your lucky, megas and decks don't have such a limit and the process for getting cards turns up rares a lot.
For purposes of flexibility, you may draw from an unlimited supply of basic lands.
Trades are allowed, but please inform me.
