Editing Portal Starter Sets

{{stub}}
A series of sets intended to introduce new players to [[Magic]]. Cards which were deemed to complex for beginners (instants, enchantments and artifacts) were omitted.

==Portal==
A basic-level set dating back to Magic's Basic/Advanced/Expert level sets meant to teach people the basics and give people an entrypoint for the game.

==Portal Second Age==
The same as the above, but with story! Set on the island of Caliman on the [[plane]] of [[Dominaria]], [[Pathfinder|it is mostly the same as its better-selling cousin, except there are firearms]].

==Portal Three Kingdoms==
A set created to appeal to Asians. It featured the historical figures/characters of the incredibly popular novel [[China|Romance of the Three Kingdoms]], and was mainly released in China, Korea and Japan as well as [[Death World|Australia]], New Zealand and had a minor printing in other regions. Because the China of the 2nd-3rd century did not have access to flying technology (as far as we know of) and that a good 80% of the creatures in the set are [[human]]s, the Flying ability has been replaced with Horsemanship. Functionally the same, Horsemanship carries the bonus of not being covered by things like Reach. It also means that you '''[[meme|DO NOT PURSUE LU BU]]''' unless you have Horsemanship yourself.

This set barely saw an English print run, and is quite scarce as a result. Among Portal sets, cards from the Three Kingdoms set are by far the most powerful: There are functional reprints of powerful cards and legendary creatures that are (effectively) unblockable with unique effects. These two combined mean the cards can command quite high prices.
