RTR Intro Pack Decklists

~
Happy Tuesday MTG peeps, 

Today, over on the mothership, WotC Monty provided decklists for the Return to Ravnica Intro Packs.  Smart Magic the Gathering players may review the lists here to help evaluate which Guild to play during the prerelease - at the moment, we here at MTG Realm are sort of torn between three Guilds and we really need to decide quickly.  

Anywhoos - the Intro Packs are a great (and inexpensive) way to get your head into this set and will help newer players get primed for gaming in this block.  With a MRSP of $15, you get
•  1 premium card,
•  1 60-card deck,
•  2 Return to Ravnica booster packs,
•  1 learn-to-play insert,
•  1 strategy insert


Your Intro Pack price will varry, but at OMG! Games here in Barrie, the price is a very nice $17.99 and tax.  Righto - onto the decklists !  
There are 2 rares in each pack - these are denoted with "*".
