Is MTG Final Fantasy Commander good for a first timer? (mtgzone.com)

So I played magic some 20 years ago and wasn't into the whole money pit thing as a kid.

I'm an adult now so I'm open to it. Ended up playing commander with some friends and had a blast coming in last place.

So now I'm casually looking around a bit for more information and landed on the FF precons. Reviews all say they're too expensive but they seem to have dropped in price.

$70 each is $280 at launch. Now it's around $180 which is $45 per deck as a bundle.

My questions:

Is this a good idea for a first timer?

How long will this last me before I'm off buying reprints to mod it? Any recommendations? (Trance apparently needs work)

What accessories do I need besides a D20 and some D6s?

Adding on to 3) - multiple D6s. They're surprisingly versatile for tracking all kinds of things.
