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

If you're just playing casually I recommend you get proxies printed. That's the absolute cheapest way to play any format you want.

You can print your own at home, or if you want something similar in quality to actual cards I suggest you check out MPC. There's also a really handy website that makes the whole process of ordering from MPC very easy.

Seconding proxies. It's a steep learning curve at the beginning but far cheaper in the long run as long as you aren't playing in tournaments.
