Starter 2000 was a limited run small theme deck only expansion set released for Magic: The Gathering on April 24, 2000. The set would be the last "Starter Level" standalone set to see production.
[edit] Set composition
The set was very unusual in that it contained identical reprints of 6th edition cards, while other cards in the set were essentially reprints of Starter 1999 cards, without an expansion symbol.
Like other Starter level products, the set contained bare vanilla creatures, simple sorceries, and basic lands.
[edit] Starter 2000 products
Starter 2000 was only released in a series of theme decks, and has become very hard to find due to its limited print run and sales. Each theme deck shipped with a CD-ROM that gave new players step by step instruction to learn the game of Magic, using the cards that they unpacked as a guide. The Theme decks also contained limited edition promo foil cards from Nemesis.
The next release of the Starter product line was included under the 7th Edition banner, known as 7th Edition Starter, and would contain similar theme decks.
