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?

  No, the game, as I understand it, is built around the same kind of pre-made decks that they often sell along with the random boosters. You can unlock more cards/decks as you play the single-player, but won't be buying additional packs or anything (although it wouldn't surprise me to see DLC with more cards if it does well)
