The current 2-Player Set toys deck: Amber/Emerald, Core-legal, and the cheapest live on-ramp into the toys archetype. Two upgrade roads — pivot to the proven Ruby/Amber aggro build, or stay in-ink for the Set 13 toys package.meta take
The proven tournament build — pivots the Emerald half into Ruby. Rotated pieces make it an Infinity deck.
Stays in the starter's inks and stays Core-legal: Set 13's new toys package, headlined by the uninkable 4-cost Woody and the 7-cost Woody & Buzz finisher.

A solid teacher of curve-out fundamentals, but little of it carries into a competitive list. Infinity-only after rotation.meta take

The community-consensus best starter ever printed: the Merlin/Madam Mim bounce-tempo core that still upgrades cleanly into real Infinity shells. If you want one rotated starter, it is this one.
