Hi, Denise! It's Shelly! You can follow me now too and look at my decks!!

That's quite a list you have here!! Your mana curve looks pretty good. Erik is giving his opinion at this moment, so I'll just look at your deck some more for the moment!!

I'm excited for you!

Hi Shelly!! I have a large list because of how I am building up my cards. I don't have a lot of any one card, and I am not sure what I should be playing with yet anyway. I wish we were closer so I could learn from you and Erik!!

Hi, its Erik. :) Welcome to the game.

First cardinal rule: Never, NEVER go over 60 cards. Its the minimum you are required to have to mathematically it gives you th ebest odds of drawing the card you need, when you need it.

As you play the deck a few times are start seeing cards that are working for you, put multiple copies of them in your deck. Substitute cards that aren't working for you. Also increases your odds of drawing the card you need when you need it.

Put Hero's Downfall, Pharika's Cure and the Staff of the Death Magus in your main deck. I would recommend taking out The Archweaver, Blood Baird, and Korozda Gorgon to make room. Plus 2 more cards to get you to 60. DOn't take out any land, that's perfect.

Hi Erik! Thanks for getting me hooked through Shelly!! ;) I made the changes you recommended, thank you for that. Can either of you think of any cards I should add? I am playing only standard format right now, not looking to add a $30 card at this point, but one that costs up to $10 could be doable. Thanks!!

Golgari Charm: Cheap and versitile.
Phareka, G/B (Green and Black) god from Journey into Nyx, Nylea (Green god), and Erebos (Black god) would both be good in that deck and are now relatively inexpensive.
Golgari guildgates (3x)
Eidolon of Blossoms
golden hind
Slitherhead

Beyond that I would just start duplicating cards that are already in there. Especially the aspect cards and

The deck didn't play well at all tonight. I need some cards to counter spells. Of the 3 games I played tonight, not one opponent played more than one creature card!!

Hmmm...you will need to perhaps play blue and black. Blue counters everything, lets you draw cards, and makes others take cards from their library and put them into their graveyard.

Yeah, I just bought some blue. Thinking maybe a blue/black deck and a Red/white deck.

White gives you life, red burns all day. What were the others playing? Blue and white is a pretty vicious combo of colors, throw in some green and it's more evil than black!

A lot of Red and a lot of Black in this group, but some were playing blue/white.
