You
can find Magic Cards in super stores (Ex. Walmart, Target) but the best
place you can buy your cards, meet other players, and play in events is
at your local comic book store or hobby shop. I buy most of my cards at
The Comic Cellar.

This year marks the last core set with Magic the Gathering: Origins, a set covering the origins of 5 of the most prolific Planeswalkers, the planes that transformed them when they got their spark, and the other characters/events of their past. I'm excited for this to be the set where I'm rejoining the fold and can't wait to see what sort of deck I can build by the time Return to Zendikar hits. I have feeling it is going to involve either artifacts or elves...
...but anyway, let's talk about what you get and do in a Pre-Release Sealed Event.
After picking the color of your favorite Planeswalker (I chose Green), you get a box with 6 Origins booster packs, a 7 card seeded pack with a dated foil rare (all of the color you chose), a spin-down life counter, and a small pamphlet with your planeswalker's origin story & tips on how to make a deck. With these materials, you build a 40 card deck and proceed to fight it out in best of three matches against the other players. And, depending on your placement in the competition, we received Origins packs as prizes.
So let's see my deck that, while I didn't place highly with, I came close...

ORIGINS PRE-RELEASE SEALED:
GREEN-BLACK ELVES OF LORWYN
I was, at first, unimpressed by my green pool and actually built a white-red aggro deck that took advantage of my burn spells and creatures in those colors. But, after losing a round, my opponent asked to look at my pool and helped me make a working deck out of Green and Black based on a decent (but not fantastic) pool of elves. I went on to win my next two matches and, if not for coming up against an even better green-black deck, I might've placed!
Still I enjoyed playing this deck so much that I really want to play Green-Black elves in standard (if that can be a thing!).
Let's look at the deck:
