I’m looking to play casually (in person) with some friends and we were wondering what the cheapest format to start buying for would be? And what might be some good pick ups (we have the starter decks but want some more variety) thanks!

I agree with others that pauper is a great format to get into as it can be very price assessable.
However I would like to make an alternative suggestion - JumpStart (or a mini JumpStart Cube if your group is very interested). The biggest benefit to this format is the sheer variety that you can have in games over the course of an evening of playing. It is very easy to pick up and play from a players perspective and can be treated like a board game. It will require someone doing a small bit of research on what packs you need to buy, or what singles you need if building a custom list.
Oh that sounds interesting, I hadn’t heard of jumpstart before, I’ll take a look at it thanks
Jumpstart also has the really fun aspect of mix and match and so is an easy sell for new players.
I agree, JumpStart is awesome for “Hey I have an hour with a friend let’s jam a few games.” If you keep your packs organized, you can reuse them too!
