Or they go for a sneaky peak at Star City Games deck lists look for anything done by Tom Ross or the gorgeous Kibler and buy the singles making changes to their shell, you don't have to be that good to make a profit, I manage it and I'm very mediocre in the grand scheme of things! I use mono red as my example because its simple and tends to be commons so most people could pick it up, just in case offence was caused, the ABC was just because it worked in my brain, really a reflection on my self! I like simplicity... hence red xD

A) I am so jealous you have all the duels xD as a baby of 98 I don't have access to that, but even with my collection from New Phyrexia onwards I can build a standard mono-red aggro deck easily so really not much excuse xD

B) I seriously think singles are the best thing to buy because then you can win what you pay back and there are your packs!

C) Yes, I used Decked Builder because i like the interface and its easy on my phone and I brewed the Grixis delver deck just before it got huge, so I felt very happy!

Awesome, as soon as I pick it up I'll accept, and you can witness the Mardu madness that has been my standard xD

Ah come on, you're not forcing me off, its a huge number of things and I'm having to cut down on my magic, I'm going into my last year of school which means big exams for university, and I'm aiming at the 3rd best uni in the world so there is a lot of pressure! Don't try and get into tournaments on your own, do it with your friends, that's how my friends and I did it, everyone has the potential to be a GP player, some just take longer than others, but it takes a decent amount of time, deck prices can look scary, but the quickly go down if you trade smart and can card share with friends, that Jund deck I spoke about was 30% borrowed and I broke even with it, my skype id is up in my convo with KJ, so grab it there when you feel ready to tournament. The main reason was really my education pressures, but no one wants to hear about them, but if I can inspire people then thats great (makes me feel a little bit like my beloved Kibler) I can see the worry over high level tournment play, watching something like the protour and the way those guys play is daunting, but watch the banter in between matches, yes you get salty players but 90% of people I play are people I want to play again. I remember at my infamous WMCQ (0-5 drop) all my opponents were so supportive, hung about after munching me and didn't patronise me with deck advice, but told me about local things and experiences they had, as Sarkhan had just been announced everyone chatted about him.

If I were you, build mono-red and master it, its so much fun and pretty easy to get hold of and of course GOBLINSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

You're so lucky, I live in UK so don't get any of that, and I can't even go to GP London -.- Yes I remember when I had a lot of supporters we challenged Northy to build a competitive modern deck, I gave him a hand with it, but there were certainly some dodgy choices in a very linear Abzan deck, the deck also remained unlisted. I was looking at a Coco Twin featuring Heliod's pilgrim... ye that was weird! xD

Cheers dude, you too, well we can say we tried! I would say support your LGS as well as Channel Fireball because they need it more, unless they really suck, I'm really lucky with my LGS

Cheers for the comment, nice that you took the time to write all of that! I really couldn't agree more, feels like an extension of my point which makes me happy! The crazy thing is if someone gave me 15 minutes and a list of every red card 4 mana and below in standard, i could build them a 'budget' deck that would actually win them games, I really believe in the whole 'justify every card choice' I really believe that singles are a cheaper way to do it, I make back tonnes of money that I would spend on boosters by winning tournaments, that's why I play tournament magic and not kitchen table as much, trust me I prefer playing with my mates when we can have a laugh, but I still get to play magic at a high standard, but get to win stuff for it! Things like modern masters, I won't buy because im unlikely to make my money back, but I've made around £400 ($617) my mardu deck and the most expensive card was stormbreath, which I worked up to buy.

I don't know why not, Travis Woo does awesome reasonably budget decks, and his could actually break even in a tournament, its no fun when people role over you, even if you just play for banter or for stories

Hi Ben, what tournament formats do they play and the best way to really pick up a deck and win with it is to know it inside out, I can mock you up something that will crush them, from what you play it would probably be mono-red!

Could literally look at any mardu dragons build, but thundermaw is pretty awesome, it usually gets played in Jeskai Control/Midrange in modern but seriously, its so easy, I use Decked builder when brewing, you just pop in what you're looking for and press the card when you want to put it in the deck, gatherer is fine for this too- any tribal deck can be mocked up in 10 minutes with a simple search, if you want to net deck a deck that's going to 100% win you games in a tournament or at the kitchen table, SCG or MTGGoldfish are your best bet
