The game proceeds in turns all drawing from the same deck. Effectively, it's like playing with a different Magic deck each game. While some people think the game is solitaire, the interaction of the game is playing from the same pool of cards and competing for efficient action. All the cards do come in the box.

I have soaked quite a few of my hard earned dollars into Magic, and more recently into the WoW CCG (I know it is on the more expensive side, but playing a Raid deck in WoW CCG is like combining great elements from Magic and AD&D, lots of fun). A few questions to clear things up: Do all of the cards come with the game? Assuming that they do (since that is what would make this more affordable than Magic) that seems to take away part of the allure of Magic. I always thought part of Magic's charm was to build a deck around a card or idea, and to try to make your strategy more efficient than the opposition's. Do you get to do that in this? Or is it more that you build your strategy and it can be a different strategy each time? In my youth (and still today I must admit) I love CCGs, tabletop gaming, and board games.
