Deck Builders toolkit will give you a lot of material to make new decks. I'd recommend it for the amount you want to put in. If you get a Fat Pack, you might not have enough of a base to Make many good decks.
Intro pack are also a good start too, since you get a ready made deck and a booster to modify it a little. I still think that the Toolkit is the best place to start.

True, but if you are starting with 0 cards, Toolkits give you a good intro and fundamental cards.

Plus toolkits give you a basic rules guide as well as booster packs.

It's kind of like investing in a single lottery ticket over purchasing a bond. Possibly try a middle ground and get a intropack. And then some other cards.

Mblitz, I recommend buying a Deckbuilders Toolkit as you already said you were going to, and from there on buy a few Booster Packs here and there. Also, FNM is fun, but I recommend finding a friend or two to play with. The Toolkit will come with plenty of land and cards to try out and create many decks. Don't worry at all about building the best deck in the world right now, just build some decks, and learn the rules. Get used to your cards, learn what color or colors happen to be your favorite. Once you get better you can then begin to make better decks! And this is super cliché, but practice makes perfect! Personally, I learned how to play Magic through a "Trial by Fire" sort of ordeal. My friend handed me a deck and followed up with multiple beatdowns until I got a handle on the game. Reading rules is all fine and dandy, but experience and practice is key. Welcome to Magic: the Gathering!

I like the red and black cards the best that's just me what are the pros and cons of red and black?

Loop, you're not being productive. He's not trying to pull {Jace, the Mindsculptor} bro, he's just looking to get into a game that we all love. A Deckbuilder's Toolkit is the best purchase he can make. It comes with a ton of lands and cards. He can experiment with many different decktypes and find his groove, with an Intro Pack, that is a Lottery Ticket, he doesn't quite understand what he's buying, and he knows nothing of the color pie, it's a shot in the dark.

Good night shall join the ranks tomorrow :D
