First Deck

by Sheazle on 28 June 2008

Main Deck (69 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 First Deck

Ok, here's how this works. The more copies of a card you have the better the chance of drawing it. Right now you have basically a 1 in 69 chance of drawing a card you need at that instant, thats not very good. Try taking out what you don't need and upping the number of what you do. Find a basic strategy and work with it. Right now the deck is a bit jumbled and all over the place. Find some direction.

Thanks for the advice, I just started playing, and I put this deck together from cards that I had that weren't in any other decks. When I get more black/blue/white cards to choose from I will tweak this deck to make it more specific. Right now it has basically every blue/black card I own, so I don't have many options.

You also shouldn't have three colors in your first deck you make, start with mono-colored decks, so you can grasp what each color does, it's strengths and weaknesses.

I started playing like two years ago and I still don't like to have more than two colors in a deck.

As A_Tobias said start with the basics don'y rush into more complex decks.
I started with a simple monogreen deck and worked my way up bigger decks.

I've been playing since the 7th edition and I'm still not that good in this game, so it takes time but you'll get it eventually.
If you need any help type this in the deck search: Question Area and I'll try to help you in anyway I can.

Ok, these guys have it. I've been playing since Alpha and Beta, when I was only 5 or 6 on mono green rush/beatdown. The basic rule of thumb is, for your first decks, always stick to mono its easier to understand, build, and play. Also, 3+ color decks only work on certain occasions, not very often though, stick to, at most, 2 colors.
