Does that mean that the old Llanowar "elves" were the toughest, since one elf did all of that? The second oldest elves clearly had one warrior for the 1/1 and one mystic for mana. Elvish Mystic clearly is the survivor of this duo that just learned to fend for himself (therefore being as powerful as the og Llanowar). Now we have a trio of scrubs who each know the basics of one aspect :D

One really really important tip is how to judge the power level of cards relative to their mana cost. A good rule of thumb to go by is for every 1 mana you spend, you should get at least 2 points of stats (1 power and 1 toughness). So when you looke at a 3 mana 2/2 grey ogre, you will immediately realize that it is overpriced by 1 mana, and therefore bad. Shifting the numbers from one side to the other is basically fine up to a point too. For example, a 2/4 is just a shifted 3/3, which is worth 3 mana, and so is a 4/2, and a 1/5 or a 5/1. It's also important to know that anything with 3 or less toughness is considered especially weak because it is easy to kill with a lightning bolt effect, and anything with 2 or less attack is considered particularly weak because it does barely any damage. The last and most important thing to know is that you should almost never settle for these "fair" costed cards and treat them as the bare minimum for making decks. Almost every deck uses cards that are far more powerful and far cheaper than they should be. Also, you should pick cards that have powerful effects instead of "vanilla" cards with just bare stats as a general rule, unless they are 2 or 3 mana cheaper than normal. A fair cost for damage is basically mana equal to the damage +1 (like banefire) unless you are doing 1, 2, or 3 damage. Since that is considered a small effect for the price of one full card, it is usually discounted down to 2 or even 1 mana depending on the set. A fair cost for healing is mana equal to the amountof healing +1 (like stream of life) unless you are healing for 3 or less which usually costs 1. Though healing is usually seen as worth less than damage, and has since been adjusted to about 2 points of healing per 1 point of mana. (roughly like Sanguiine Sacrament). Also any card that draws a card to replace itself should get higher priority (all else being equal) since drawing cards is super valuable. (the more the better, within reason). You can create your own rating system based on experience, but that is a good place to start. With this, you should be able to tell the obvious that a 1 mana 2/2 is way way better than a 4 mana 3/3. I hope that was helpful to someone.

The issue I find a lot of people, including myself, have with magic deck building when coming from other TCG's, is the goal of the decks in the individual games. I personally started playing TCG's with yugioh, and i still play now semi-competitively, and the way deck building works in yugioh is vastly different. Instead of having multiple win conditions, it is usually multiple ways to get to the same win condition, so the goal with deck building in yugioh is to maximise the consistency of one specific line of play, or one specific combo starter, which you will almost always be able to use. Magic, on the other hand, requires a more varied amount of things to be thought about in order to play your deck, as you need to think about mana curve as well. The problem with this is, in my case, I literally ignored mana curve and didnt think about it. I just focused on what I wanted the deck to do and ignored how I was going to get to that point. This video really helps outline a lot of areas that need to be focused on, and is really well done

This is a super elegant solution to newer players being overwhelmed by having to choose a lot of different cards. However, I believe a lot of players might screw their mana curve a little too easily (More expensive mana costs generally lead to cooler cards players might want to include). To solve this, as a rule of thumb, have every card you chose that costs 3 or less be a 4-of; cards that cost 4 or 5 be a 3-of; and for cards that cost 6 or more just run 2 copies at most.

@osanneart9318
5 жыл бұрын
if you get land screwed all the time, you might want to look into the amount of land you have in your deck. If you still think it's the shuffling: I usually divide my deck into four or five piles and I shuffle these piles individually, and then carefully push the piles into each other. When you have one deck again, repeat this process. if you divide into piles one by one card, you know for sure there are no cards sticking together during shuffling, which might cause your land screw.

Shuffle at least 7 times before dealing your hand. This will assure your deck will be completely randomized and you most likely wont get mana screwed. Also have 40% of the deck lands.
@troys50

This is likely a fault with your intergame shuffling. A lot of people, once they finish a game, are either eager to get into another one and don't shuffle well, or they're tired and ready to call it quits and DONT shuffle, causing the next time they shuffle to be lackluster. Take the time between games to shuffle a deck. They say the minimum required times to thoroughly shuffle a deck is 57 times. That's 57 pickups, then tossing a few cards here and there. Obviously the best way, though, is to pileshuffle. Seperate your cards into piles (I do 4 x 2) and then interweave, followed by a quick shuffle or two.

One of my favorite discoveries when it came to figuring out how many lands you want in your 60 card deck was taking the average CMC of all your non land cards, usually it will be around 4, then taking that result and adding 20 to it. This way if your most expensive cards are like 3-4 mana and your average CMC is like 2, you cut down to 22 lands and replace them with some more gas. Or if you have a low mana curve of just ramp until CMC 5 and say 18+ cards cost 6+ mana, bringing your avarage CMC up to 5 or 6, you might want to cut a few non land cards and replace them so you have 25 or 26 lands respectively. To use this formula for other deck sizes (say 40 card limited or 100 (99) card commander), devote 1/3, or 33% of your deck to just lands and follow the same steps as before. And for the times where you are getting an average CMC that is not a whole number (basically instead of a 4.0 you're getting a 4.2 or 3.7, etc) you should try to round to the nearest whole number to the best of your ability, usually rounding up a 4.5 to a five, but rounding down from a 4.49. Of course, this doesn't cover any special strategies where you may not want to follow this advice so closely, like in a "Lands Matter" deck, you may run up to 40% or maybe even 45% lands in your deck. But that is why my advice (and this video) is only a starting point for deck building meant for those looking for help and/or advice.

They may not always be right, and you may not always agree with them, but if you can find someone cool who's willing to talk you through it all, and who knows more about deck building than you do and respects the theme you're going for, having someone to bounce ideas off and learn from is a huge bonus.

I noticed that as well and he doesn't put anything in to mitigate that, other than having a lot of land (when I started in Revised, it was 1 land for every 2 spells. Make adjustments afterwards) and Llanowar Elves. Also, his first card is a special enchantment card that needs additional rules to be used. What I mean is....if you need to read something outside of the basic framework rules for a game of MTG to use a card, it can be confusing for a new player because they may not have said rules readily available. If I were new to MTG and didn't know how to use The Eldest Reborn (or cards like it), I wouldn't know what the 1/2/3 numbers meant or how to use the associated effects. Are they random? Do I just choose an effect once per turn? Are the numbers turn based, as in on turn 1 I use the 1st effect, the 2nd effect on turn 2, and the 3rd on turn 3? Do I roll dice? What are the lore counters for? I know I'm being a bit nitpicky, but I've seen these types of problems and have had them myself. Llanowar Elves, on the other hand, tells you everything you need to know about how to use that card.

My Mono-Red Goblins deck follows the Rule of 10, using only 20 lands, since all of the goblins are cheap and aggressive (and can be sacrificed to Skirk Prospector if I really need more mana). Even when I switch to the strategy that runs Siege-Gang Commander and Goblin Trashmaster, I keep the land count down by also adding Goblin Warchief and by using Skirk Prospector's ability when needed. I could fine-tune the deck, like you suggest, by making small changes here and there, but I only play occasionally and casually, so sticking to the Rule of 10 for this deck works fine for me.

“Pro” tip: if you want to play Eldest Reborn in a W/B deck, I’d recommend Tragic Poet from Dominaria. You can tap it and sacrifice it to retrieve an enchantment from your graveyard. It’s a 1/1 for W, and it has some decent synergy with Eldest Reborn. Also, if you are a little short on money and can’t get a decent enough fetch spell, I’d also recommend Final Parting, it’s 3BB at sorcery speed, and you grab two spells. One goes into your hand and the other into your graveyard. If you grab a good creature or other spell and put it into your hand and put an enchantment into the graveyard, you can use Tragic Poet to put it into your hand as well, so it basically lets you get an enchantment and one other spell for the cost of sacrificing a 1/1 creature and paying 3BB. Decent enchantment based synergy for those on a budget.

But you said to include Izoni, but if you include 4 of a legendary it’s likely you’ll break the legend rule and have to sac one

When I built my decks when I was starting out I used the rule of 10s. Probably because I played budget Mono-red burn in modern and R/G pummeler in standard.

rule of 10 deck building. A starting player draws 10 cards by turn four. [a 60 card 24 Land deck is 4/10 lands] To cast spells in the first 4 turns turn 1 requires 9 1 drops (optional) turn 2, 8 2 drops -vital turn 3, 7 3 drops -solid turn 4, 6 4 drops -1 in 10 #mtg #mtgarena

As good as this guide is, having 4 copies of a lot of cards isn't something a new player may have access to, especially for rares and mythics.

Hm... thats why he talks about upgrading from budget option into upgrades for some of the cards, like Murder > Atrophy, Contempt and Poison Tip Archer to Izoni.

Pretty awesome deckbuilding tip! Sounds cool as well. "The Rule of Nine"! Badass. But about the Bolas Story: YES, PLEASE. I thought Venser had given his Spark to free Karn of the Phyrexian influence. Did he recovered it from Bolas? Did he """grew""" another one? I'd love some explanations!

It took me two weeks to refine my deck finally (hopefully - like I'm on a win streak in mid platinum league) as a new player. Though I've played HS several years ago. started with two colors, ended up with three. the only thing I "disagree", green has a much much better drawer. That blue green chick that draws when you play lands. Much more consistent. which bring us to another part. Yes, you talk to a new players, yet consistency is the very basic. Don't play powerful cards, play consistent cards. Like with that blue green chick. She's much more consistent for drawing card than that elf dude. And she's sort of counters "lands" when you need creatures. Meaning as long as she's in you hand you don't suffer from mana flood that much. Which is really really consistent.

Ah Toss in a 15 card side board add in Vraska from Ix and some more removal like plummet plucking a angel with that feels really good or smacking an arc light or rekindling with a Contempt is real good feeling the deck you built does have a good premise and base it’s simple for a newer player yet also it is also casual enough to carry into FNM or Showdown just to toss cardboard.

The community is terrible when it comes to new players, which I believe is one of the reasons there are so few newbies playing the game ATM. Here's a conversation between two guys I've heard last week at the store I play, which made my blood boil: Newbie: Hey, can I play with you guys? I'm new. Veteran: Sure. What's your deck? Is it modern? Newbie: What's modern? Veteran: *Proceeds to explain in detail formats and competitive MTG* Newbie: I see. I don't know, here's my deck. *Shows deck* Veteran: *Proceeds to tell him how much his deck sucks and how to build a competitive deck* Veteran: Just choose one of these *Shows top 10 modern decks* Newbie: I can't afford that. Veteran: Then play pauper. Newbie: What's pauper? Veteran: You can only play common. Newbie: Why can't I play uncommon/rare cards? Veteran: Because it's not allowed in pauper. If you want to play uncommon/rare cards, play modern and spend money. Newbie: Oh, ok.. thanks. *Leaves* I went to tell the newbie that everything that guy said was bullshit, that he shouldn't bother with formats and build the deck however he wanted. I even gave him some spare cards I had at the moment and played with him using some of my casual decks. I've played since Odyssey and never felt like playing competitive... I just play for fun. I wish more people had that mentality and didn't try to shove competitive and tryhard gameplay into other people, especially newbies who should be having fun and learning the game before choosing to compete or spend money. And please, don't introduce newbies to formats, especially EDH. Let them play the normal and classic game first.

This is my "strong opinion": I'm newish to Magic, and getting four copies of whatever card (even lands) is very expensive to me, since I get my cards from boosters. And each booster, here in Argentina at least, isn't cheap (one US dolar here costs, at the time of this post, 45 monetary units). I can buy one, maybe 2 boosters each month, and I'm very lucky if I get the same card twice.

I like to reserve one of those slots for a single copy of 4 different super powerful cards, artifacts, or legendaries. Also, don't think you have to keep four copies of everything in your deck. A lot of cards you only need 1, 2, or 3 of.. but you should definitely start with 4 before you tweak it. it's also a good idea to be wary that some cards interact badly with other cards. Instead of a combo, they are the opposite.. aka a NON-BO. You should avoid using them in the same deck. Things like Immortal Sun in a Planeswalker deck, or cry of the carnarium in an afterlife deck or regenerating skeleton deck.

I just take the picture to represent that 1 lanowar elf is being portrayed by the card, but there are many available in existence. You'd think that'd be obvious to anyone that isn't a moron. Either that or it takes a squad of elves to equal the equivalent of a 1/1. Not every creature is worthy of it's own statline. I mean a 2/2 "Grizzly Bears" has multiple bears not just one. Like an average squad of soldiers is a 1/1 in the game, not just one guy, unless he's some kind of hero. The scale is bigger than people think.

I started out in Magic by getting a random assortment of hand me down cards from friends. So, while this is good advice, it's only so applicable to someone in a situation like I was in starting off. So while I can't say what the best thing to do is, this is what worked (or would have worked) for me. For someone with a random pile of cards, whether from friends or some booster packs, group cards. Look for themes that might make cards work well together - are they the same color? Do they share a creature type theme? Is there a mechanical theme, like graveyard recursion, that you can center things around? Once you do that, spread the cards out and try to balance things. For mono color decks, at least about a third of the deck should be lands, and the more colors you have, the more lands you should add in, sometimes even up to half the deck. 24 of 60 is obviously good for most decks, especially if you're unsure what would be best. Try to make sure you have a fair balance of creatures and non-creature spells, and high and low-cost spells. Once it looks decent (it will look rough with a limited pool of cards to pick from, so just decent is what we're aiming for), test it out against some friends or their decks. After seeing what works, what areas need help, and most importantly mechanics that resonate with you, modify the deck with the cards you have, and seek out some more cards. After I found out I liked green and black cards, I sought out trades that would help build a good green-black deck, for example. Another great option nowadays is buying a preconstructed deck that suits your preferences. You can see what a well balanced deck looks like, test your custom deck against it, steal cards for your custom decks, or even just use the precon as your new base deck and modify that. It also helps to get a friend with a huge Magic collection, and maybe save that birthday money for that elusive playset of Wellwisher cards that you saw that one time...
