Thanks for the recommendations! I ordered an Awakening and Radiant Dawn starter deck. I'll see how those work and then maybe get a booster box from there sometime in the future!

Its just personal preference. I'm not invested in the IP. But I've been into FE for a long time so I can get attached to characters much easier than Magic.

Thanks for all the replies! It seems like a niche game but with an enthusiastic fan base. Much like the FE games themselves. I think I'll start with a few starter decks and play online to get the hang of things

So my cousin and I have been into FE since Blazing Sword, and I'm thinking about getting a few Cipher starter decks. Specifically, Awakening, either Fates, or Radiant. My hesitation stems from gameplay. I'm not sure if I want to have a stack of translation sheets while I play. I'm afraid it'll be boring to play and just sit on my shelves like my Magic decks. The art is gorgeous though, so I'm tempted simply for collecting pretty pictures. So any recommendations or warnings?
