My first deck

by bubbles0413 on 16 November 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for My first deck

I will say that one of my worst habits for a good year or so was going over 60 cards in a deck. I highly suggest that you find ways to keep them at 60 for the best consistency. But hey! Ultimately just do what is fun for you!

Glad to hear it! Now if I may...is there a way to get a stronger theme in the deck? i.e. mill or perhaps control, etc. If so, I believe we could find a very cheap and budget way to get you playsets or four of the cards that will really help the theme and make the deck a lot stronger. The trick to a deck in my humble opinion is to find a way to make it work "most" of the time. The only times it may not work is bad luck in the form of getting "mana screwed" (not pulling enough mana) or "mana flooded" (too much mana and no action). Otherwise my tried and tested decks never fail to accomplish their goal. This usually means a playset of all the cards that get you there or close to that. If you want to play "Azorius" (blue/white), then I would definitely suggest playing a control heavy deck (cancels, slow down methods, then a win condition that comes later). If you like "Mill" (attack their library) then I would highly suggest you go with "Dimir" colors which is black and blue. I only want to help, please let me know if you want more suggestions/ideas. Magic is such a wonderful game. I feel like all my decks are my creations and when they succeed it's such a beautiful feeling. My first deck was a white lifegain deck and it worked pretty well in my group. Please feel free to reach out and I'd love to talk more on your starting decks.

Zombie23 is giving good advice.

1. Try to run a 60 card deck with 4 copies of most cards.
2. Come up with a theme or win condition; decide how you want your deck to win against your opponent.
3. Just have fun. People can get so serious! It is a card game and a way to relax and hang out with friends.

Everything else comes after that.

And one of my first decks was also White. White and Green seems like the best colors to start out with. They seem to be eaiser to play. A white gain life deck or a green creature deck is nice to learn the game of Magic with. With that said, Blue and Black seem like the harder colors to play with.

Bubbles0413, check out, if you like, all of the Budget decks people have built on this site. That would also be a great place to start. There are a lot of really decent and really cheap (money) decks to look at.

Maybe this link can help you a little bit with some questions about deckbuilding:

I tried to help starters with this description, to give them ideas, and to avoid some typical problems.
