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 Description

Just started playing magic, bought a deck builders toolkit, an intro deck, and a couple of booster battle packs. Came up with this deck after going through everything I have. Would love comments seeing how I'm new to the game. I know I should have 4 of some cards but I had to work with what I had. All cards from current expansion.

How to Play

Since I just started Magic, this isn't an easy thing for me to describe lol. Basically I was going for controlling the opponents creatures, using creatures that can attack directly with flying, and making the opponent discard from their library or hand.

Deck discussion for U/B new to magic

Just a few suggestions:
- Essence Drain: The high cost just doesn't seem worth it to me. If you want the life loss effect, I'd suggest adding another Bump in the Night.
- Rotting Fensnake: I'm not a huge fan mostly because he does not have an ability. For me, if I spend that much on a creature, I'd like him to have an ability. If possible, I'd switch him out for a low cost black creature like Tormented Soul (unblockable is really nice)
- More Vampire Nighthawk if possible... that card is just too good

Dual lands might be useful, as well.

Thanks for the comment! I was definitely thinking about replacing Essence Drain. Also, if I had the cards I would have four of Vampire Nighthawk lol, but this deck represents the cards I own atm.
