Hey Veeky Forums, so I just started playing MTG a week ago. Me and my girlfriend both bought a starter deck and 16 packs of cards, she built white/green and i built red/blue.
We played together for the past week, but she will no longer play me because I'm winning every game, IDK if she will quit but I don't want too, I really like the game. I'm not very good in the grand scale of things though of course, and I don't want to go to a game shop or something and just get wrecked. I built my deck out of what the dude at the store said was "standard" so I can play with them until next year? First of all here is my deck;
I don't know where to start. I guess as a tip you can search sites like Tappedout for Standard deck ideas. The deck right now needs a lot less 1-ofs because you can never expect to get what you need if there's only 1 of something in your deck.

Thanks for the tip, I can't really do that right now since I don't have very many cards. Is red/blue a good combo? That's just what my starter deck was and I built on top of it, now I'm also collecting the black cards to build a deck with those in the future

Yeah red and blue is pretty big. Its focus is to typically cast a lot of instants and sorceries. Of the top of my head there are quite a few decks called "Thermo-Thing" that make use of Thermo Alchemist and Thing in the Ice.

seconding Tappedout.net, and I'd say just try and make something that looks fun without worrying how competitive it is
you can make some pretty fun kitchen table (casual) decks for 25$

You are gonna want to be careful about playing at shops because that's going to be where you find people who netdeck and pay attention to things like card efficiency, local meta, and such so expect to lose a lot and have to learn a lot.

Thanks for the help so far guys, I'll look into the thermo/thing deck. Thing in the ice is really cool. I really like the game and want to play with people but I feel they are so far ahead of the curve it's going to be hard. I don't even know where to start, I try reading the threads on here and don't understand 90% of what's being said, I don't know the names of ANY of the old cards. My deck is made out of the two new types of packs with the werewolves and vampires (moon something? The packs are purple and blue) and the battle for zendikar and its brother set.
I put a lot of money into this hobby, I got the dragon sleeves for like 12 bucks and th card box and everything, I am serious about this, just really really nooby.

I got this card in a booster. It's double sided so I'll post that too, it's my bet card but is it out of place?
