I would buy him a hooker. Maybe if he loses his virginity he won't have any desire to play this game.

Find a game / card shop that runs games near where you live also as it can get boring just playing with 2 people.
The online version is ok but you need to pay as much for the online cards as real life ones and unless there are no card shops it's not as much fun but can be ok to play at home once you get used to the game layout.
Just make sure you hide the fact you are a player if your current GF dumps you as nothing will drive them away faster then this game.
Given that he's 9 and already waaay too interested in girls, I'm pretty okay with him keeping his virginity for a while.
If it gets boring then I'll happily let them collect dust until the next mini-me is old enough. I don't think I can go full gamer. Never go full gamer..
that's not bad. i would definitely stick to the core game and avoid the money-down-the-toilet expansions, tho.
On the contrary, expansions have more interesting cards, because they have less vanilla cards (cards with no abilities) and mechanics specific to that set, which makes the game more diverse. + buying coreset boosters is money down the toilet, because there is nothing valuable in them. M2014 is even worse because for the first time in a long run it's a coreset without any dual lands.
have you consider another card game that is not MtG ?
If so , then i'd recommend the cooperative Living Card Game Lord of the Rings , by Fantasy Flight Games
If have a great deal of fun playing it with my nephews (aged 8 through 12).

From what I understand most of those cards are now banned. My "prime" was probably '94 or '95. Didn't play much after that.i have a ton of card from when i was in HS (graduated in 98). No idea what to do with them. Some are heavily played so not in the best condition.
people playing a casual game shouldn't start with a specialized subset of the game. if they want to play other people, why should they put all their money into cards that are scheduled for oblivion in a year? if potential resale value is a concern, then you're barking up the wrong tree - he's looking for game to play with his kid. some of these cards will not survive.

card games are a waste of money imho.
Why don't you play chess or table football or something?
If he's interested in MTG, you might pick him up a box of dominion. Its a deck building card game that has a lot of the feel of a CCG, but without the over the top recurring expense. (There are a ton of deck building games depending on what theme you like)
Amazon has some sort of complete version for about $100.
