Depends on how fast you play and your deck. Aggro decks can win super quick, so you might end a game in like 10 minutes or less. Control decks? Get comfy, you're in for the long haul.
Honestly, if you're both playing for the first time and need to keep checking the rules, it can take forever. First game took me and my friend over an hour. Gets faster as you learn.
30 minutes, give or take. But if someone's stalling or you're both newbies, could be an hour. Pack snacks.
