I am new to MTG and these forums alike. I am looking to create a deck that could utilize both colors, and include Sarkhan, The Dragonspeaker.
Could anyone mention some cards that would fit into this deck?
Also, I have a question. Why don't people utilize lands like Clifftop Retreat? It can enter untapped, and doesn't cost any life.
I want to be able to use Sarkhan and Ajani Goldmane in the same deck (if that version of Ajani is still legal in standard?)EDIT: He isn't, but the new Ajani still looks fun!
I'm brand new to MTG, but these two cards seem to be the most appealing to me. Let me know what you think!
Is there a Red / White Deck that could utilize both these planeswalkers?
It wont let me post links yet, so this is my version of a quote
Jay13x:
You can absolutely run whatever colors you want. Blue/Red (UR - the 'U' being short for blue) is commonly known as 'Izzet' after the Ravnica Guild of the same name. It's my personal favorite color combo.
I also recommend, if you've got a limited budget, to buy individual cards rather than packs. You can find individual cards at your local comic store, or go online, there are a lot of places where you can buy cards. This ends up being more cost effective by paying only for the cards you want. That is, unless you still want the thrill of opening new packs.
If you really like Red/Blue, I recommend the Izzet versus Golgari Duel Deck from little while ago. It's available on Amazon for $25 and has some great R/U cards included. I'd also recommend the 'Wrath of the Mortals' Event Deck from Journey into Nix. Both of those will give you a good head start and have good cards for a Red/Blue deck that would go well together. But both of those are only if you're looking build a Casual Deck. If you're looking at standard, get some ideas from the Standard Forum here.
Thanks so much for the info. I'll definitely look into that. I would like to either run a deck with Sarkhan and Ajani, or Sarkhan and Jace.
I am soon going to start playing Magic: The Gathering, and had some questions about the game before I went in head first.
I have looked into many different videos, sites, and have played a little bit of Duels of the Planeswalkers for the iPad. I am excited to join this awesome MTG community. I've watched a ton of videos (Mostly Pack openings, Lol xD), and this is what I am left wondering:
- Would it be possible for me to run a deck including Red and Blue cards? Out of all of them I've seen. Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, and Jace, the Living Guildpact are my absolute favorites. Even though I have heard from multiple places Sarkhan is weak, I'm new to the game, so what appeals to me appeals to me. I want to see if I could create a nice deck that could utilize both of these cards, and a bunch of others too, as I have seen many, many cool red and blue cards. So I ask you, can this be a sturdy deck setup?
- I'm going to be getting a Fat Pack on Christmas to kick off my Magic play, and was just seeing if anyone had gotten anything awesome out of it. Love hearing about good pulls!
- I'm also here just to meet new friends, and sort of make connections to build on as I play the game!
Thanks for reading this long post. Please reply to this if you can answer my questions, or just to be friendly
Thank you!
I don't know why I didn't check on that, my bad.
All of those cards look really good!
P.S - just ordered a Seeker of the way

I'm looking for a mana - cheap enchantment that gives flying and boosts. Since this was made in 2009, it's not legal to play any more.
I'm new to MTG and this site, so please don't hate if I don't know where to find one / don't know what I'm talking about
I apologize, I am extremely new to MTG and am deciding which road to go down for my first deck.

Upon even MORE research, I think I also like the Red / White Combo. Ajani looks really fun
I decided that I'm either going to go UR or Red/White. I'll probably decide after Christmas.
