Do you have to buy card packs to get cards in the MTG game, or does it come with a full set of at least the core cards?

My friend was so into MTG that he easily spent over 50 bucks a month. Then they revamped the whole game and, according to him and most of the fanbase, ruined it so bad that fans were rabid. The new interface is pathetic, and many functions from the previous version are gone. Now he rarely ever plays it anymore.
Is this what Xbox Live owners are getting?
