Magic is really fun in casual formats like EDH. You can build a cheap fun deck for like $25, or just buy a premade commander deck for ~$30. Just please learn the rules so you don't teach other people the wrong way to play. I spend half my time re-teaching people how combat and the stack works.

If you want magic without the pricetag, try Epic, made by some of the same people.

Otherwise, infinite zombies. Do it.

On a realistic note, a really solid green ramp deck is fun.

I do. Get an online game and figure shit out there. Then but deck builders on Amazon. God speed bruv
>>
>>693887591

To begin, buying "core sets" and or fat packs are ok, but avoid those and boosters once you get a base to play with.

If you're playing casual, meh.

If you want to do Friday night magic? Buy singles. It helps so you don't spend money on cards you don't need.

Join a forum like MTG Salvation and lurk the fuck out of it. Will help a LOT

FNM- Friday Night Magic!

If you live in a small shit town they might not do this, but they're events held by card shops that promote playing against other players.

A TON of cringe but some good people show up.

Drafting is also pretty fun. You get boosters and play with what you get. Some faggots sneak in cards but ya know, niggers can't win unless they cheat.

Talking to shop owners or people who regularly show up will build your knowledge base on how to make an excellent deck or different modes you can play(Legacy, EDM)

Learn how to play with green and/or white.

Once you've been playing for a while and understand how everything works, ignore what everyone else says and just go with what feels like the most fun. Doesn't matter all that much if it's viable unless you're planning on competing. Pick a deck and roll with it.

Unless you're dumping a ton of cash into any format you play you are probably going to loose against most decks, regardless the format. People say you can play budget and have fun, but that doesn't mean you aren't going to lose most of the time.

hey OP, my advice to you is to understand card advantage and resource.

you can find a lot of in depth articles online by more successful players than myself but it boils down to this:

card advantage is obviously having more cards than your opponent. When you play a spell that destroys an opponent's creature you do not increase card advantage, it remains neutral. (you spent a card, to destroy a card. you both just discarded one.) when you play a spell that destroys all creatures, if your opponent has 2+ creatures, that's advantage. (since you spent 1, to make your opponent spend 2.)

there's also things like Quality to take into account. if you spend a spell to kill three creatures, but they're all 1/1s that's not as good as saving your spell for another turn or two so that you can grab a 4/4 as well. even if it costs you some life, even killing one more creature for the card you had to use can be a huge difference.

this brings me to my next point: resource.

resource is multiple things: the cards in your hand, your battlefield, your graveyard, your deck, your life total.

being a good magic player means understanding the relationships between your resources. if your deck can abuse cards in the graveyard, then playing cards that discard from your deck is not actually depriving you of a resource as much as it is giving you resource. (yes there is a finite amount of cards in your deck but 2 cards out of a 60 card deck isn't nearly as impactful as potentially having TWO more cards you can now cast thru flashback, or resurrect from the dead.)

life is another resource and i used an example above. if you can afford to give away life to gain advantage, you should do it. but you have to be smart. know when you can give up life and when you need to give up cards/board state to protect it.

sorry that was long but once you understand the fundamentals, concepts like this are crucial.

best of luck!

dont buy a box, you're going to get 97% fucking garbage and 3% cards that you can actually sell, but which will be worth 1/5th of what you spent on the box. unless you get super lucky and open multiple expensive rares/mythics but that is unlikely and even if you do, you're likely to only break even or slightly profit. not worth the risk.

For $120 or whatever a box costs retail you can build anywhere from multiple casual decks, or a lot of very powerful cards.

for example if you play modern $120 can get you all of, or most of, the land base required to have the most efficient mana. you will not get anywhere NEAR that percentage of a completed modern deck by just buying a box.

standard is cheaper but cards rotate out so that $60 you spent on three planeswalkers can't be used in standard tournaments anymore in about 1.5-2 years.

ie = standard is short term cheap but you lose money on investment

modern has a higher start-up cost but cards will maintain value and usability for longer

if the only purpose of fetch lands is to thin your deck out, NO.

testing has shown there is virtually zero effect of 'thinning your deck out'.

however, paying life is definitely a noticeable consequence.

if there are other reasons for fetchlands, then yes by all means. if you're running grim lavamancer, or tarmogoyf, or some other 'graveyard matters' thing, run fetches. if you are using effects that stack the top of your deck and you don't like what you see and want to reshuffle, fetches can be good too.

don't ever run fetches to thin though. not worth the $, not worth the life.

Chill dude. You're talking to some fat old neckbeard who thinks he's the smartest person in the room when magic cards start going.

That's when you know someone is just a cunt. They don't want to pass on knowledge to younger people so the game lives.

ive got a brago, king eternal that hasnt lost yet out of about 12 games... i went half retard on it.. its a fun general
>>
>>693887591
I can't make friends with anyone. Not even with the nerds at my school. When I tried starting to play this game, I got really confused because there was a lot to keep track of at once. Everyone in the game got annoyed with me and eventually I quit and left. I hate people, fuck you Brenda my name's not that funny so don't name it after fucking weed.

Brago is a competitive general, what combos do you use with him, and how do you cheat him into play so you get around all forms of resistance to go infinite

>>693891885
It's true. I gave up going to local shops because at best you will play 2-3 rounds with one chill dude who maybe works in engineering or some shit, the rest of the regulars will be autists and actual children (or both) and you won't even get good games against them because they will play like robots or ragequit after you outsmart them

Unless you're playing regularly with some friends, just play hearthstone for the "strategy card game" fix

hand control is field control.
when you totally dominate both, they can't do shit.
lots of rage quit.
blue is the most advanced color.

pay attention to synergy and combos.
if you going in to win tournaments, pay attention to pro tour deck lists and build your own flavor of them.

It's expensive. Very expensive. Unreasonably expensive. If you don't have a lot of extra cash just play videogames, they're wayyyyy cheaper in the long run, even if you buy new consoles and games as soon as they come out.
>>
>>693896190
He's right though? When you talk competitive, you don't use the term "countered" when dealing with spells that exile spells from the stack. Instead you state the card used such as "Time Stopped" or "Mindbreak trapped".

>>693895175
I miss those little shits. My first deck and still my favorite was green hydra devo. Watching new players get visibly disheartened as you use dorks to ramp into playing around with nykthos and voyaging satyr to have more mana than you can use nearly every turn while you drop fatties like heroes bane, mistcutters, or vastwoods.

Play commander, it's easily the most fun and casual format, it can also be just as expensive as you want it to be. How it works is you choose a single legendary creature to be your "commander" and you set it aside and can cast it even if it died by paying 2 more mana per death, and you can only play cards in the commander's colors. You play 99 cards excluding your commander and you can only play 1 of any non basic land card. If you want a better/more complete explanation, check here: http://mtgcommander.net/rules.php. Pic related is my commander

i have a no infinite rule for myself
just a lot of hexproof, unblockable, removal and instant speed return to my hand.. swiftfoot boots, etc.. no real win condition, but i dont think ive taken more than 4 damage in a game.. its fucked.. perigrine drake is my favorite, along with plaineswalkers... you blink them to reset their counters, and use a second ability
