Yeah, the intro pack has two pre constructed decks that I've heard are fun to play with. My first purchase of magic in 10 years was the Frodo Commander deck. But I got that because the comic store near our house has regular commander deck play on Thursdays. If your want just a bunch of cards the Draft boosters are good, but the Set Boosters have a better chance for rares and other cards worth a good bit. I've been buying set boosters.
If you can find the Lotr Bundle once it's back on stock, I'd get that. It's $60 but comes with 4 promo foils, a lot of Land cards, and 8 set boosters.
If you want an easy way to play, the Jumpstart boosters are super easy! Just buy 2 and it's an automatic 40 card deck. She gets 2 packs and you now have 2 decks and can play right away!
