Hi, looking to start MTG here.

Saw alot of people playing this game in the past but didnt have the chance to try it out.

Tried to visit Comics Corner SJ earlier today to gear up a little and maybe learn a thing or two but it was closed. Also went to manawerx but i guess i was late arriving there at about 9pm.

Been reading through the rulebooks and stuff, just wondering if anyone's got some tips for someone trying to start from scratch.

Thx in advance.

Anyone got some guide for a beginner like me in terms of deck building (i'm not really sure of the types available but i think some aggro type deck)? I've been looking at some decklists (standard) and notice that people are using cards from different sets. Kinda hard for me to collect them as i've only purchased a morningtide box. Any tips on what sets i should be aiming next (shadowmoor or some older sets)?

aim for lowryn/ shadowmoor block...
since u dun wanna be caught in the rotation after spending a lot...
wut cards u need from the older sets u can buy them as singles...
besides block decks are competitive in standard as well...

as for deck building...
building aggro decks would be quite easy...

if mono coloured: -
22/23 lands
38/37 other cards depending on ur build

if 2 colours u would need: -
23/24 lands
3736 other cards

this is the convention i used for my deck building for aggro decks (always keep aggro decks at 40 cards)...
if u are new u can try making Red Decks Win (RDW), a mono red deck which is cheap to build and yet deadly deck...
