Wizards of the Coast previewed the new Welcome Decks, for Magic: The Gathering, which will be headed to WPN retailers soon.

WotC announced the return of these giveaway learn-to-play decks over the course of the summer (see "A Welcome Return").  Each deck comes with 30 cards of a single color, and there are five decks available (one for each color). Players can take two of these decks and combine them to make a playable two-color 60-card deck. The cards in the decks are reprints from past releases and have a Planeswalker stamp on them to set them apart from other printings of these cards.
