MTG Salvation

Quote from TBuzzsaw »

Well every set has a story and sometimes connect them like they have in the last few years. Cards would obviously showcase characters in the story or represent something that happened in the story itself.

Usually some in particular besides legends.

My favorite beginner's product has got to be hands down a Deckbuilder's Toolkit. It gives you a stack of random cards and some general pointers and lets you go ham and really explore your creative side. It gives you enough materials to easily make 2 color decks.

Ixalan Deckbuilder's Toolkit

These products are at a great price point typically for what you get, and are the quickest jumpstart to any casual collection.

Another option would be the preconstructed "Planeswalker Decks", which are marketed towards players just jumping in and show you how a deck ought to be built.

Amonkhet Planeswalker Deck- Gideon

It introduces you to the popular planeswalker card type and probably comes with rules inserts that help you learn to play the game effectively.

Finally, if you're looking for something more flashy at a bit higher of a price point, there are Holiday Gift Boxes.

Kaladesh Holiday Gift Box

Gift Boxes come with an exclusive promo card, but the main selling point is that the box is quite large and comes with all kinds of dividers and labels, perfect for the ever-expanding Magic collection.

My personal suggestion out of these would be the Deckbuilder's Toolkit, but any of the three are great purchases and you can feel confident making them.

i think calculating i want a deck that all cards work together. i want to win obviously. what made me like magic is the style and art form of the game. plus the fact that i want to be the greatest planeswalker haha

You sound like you may be a "Jonny Combo Player" style person with a dash of "Spike" thrown in.

I'd suggest staying away from Commander/EDH for the time being until you get some more experience under your belt. Learn to duel, learn to build, learn to win and then if multiplayer interests you, look into Commander.

There is the perfect introductory product out there for you. It is the Challenger Deck. It will let you get your foot in the door into Standard if you wish. You can take it to a FNM event and have some fun and maybe even win a couple of games. Knowing you like to put together the puzzle the Second Sun Control deck may be for you. If you don't like the creature-less aspect of the deck try one of the other 3 available. Hazoret Aggro would be the simplest to learn quickly. Stay away from the Planeswalker decks, they are junk and should only be bought if you want to play casual kitchen table style games. The Hazoret deck actually has a strong walker in it and is worth a decent amount of money at this time. Check them out.

is there anything i pulled should be put in the tuck cuz its a good quality card?
oh yeah i gots my money back with the scarab god

Well the scarab god is by far the best card you opened. If you didn't sell it(?), you should definitely use it in a deck. It gets played in standard and it's a great commander for the commander format. It's actually kind of hard to make a BAD scarab god commander deck.

None of the other cards look particularly great. Many of them are fine for draft/sealed, but probably not for constructed competitive play. Although it's hard to tell if you don't link them. Use the cards tags, please!

nah im not seling the scarab god. i think is the best card i got besides the jace card. i just bought 4 more hour of devastation packs. 15 minutes ago. il put the list up in a lil lmk what good came out out of those four packs

The scarab god is waaaaaaaay better than planeswalker deck jace. Planeswalker deck jace isn't particularly good. He's kind of cute in kumena commander/brawl, but he doesn't see any competitive play. Scarab god sees tons of competitive play in standard.

Unless you mean you have jace, the mind sculptor. That version of jace is better than the scarab god (although the scarab god is better in commander).

the jace card i got is jace-ingenious mind mage, it came with the planes walker deck. i know its not as good as the scarab card but i get excited with anything that has to do with jace. im a big fan.

Ha, alright, fair enough. You can play jace as a commander in brawl, if you want to go down that route. although brawl isn't usually played competitively.

so heres what i pulled on the other 4 hour of dev packs. ima try to use the card tags hopefully it works if it dosent sorry still trying to learn this forum stuff.

idk what im doing wrong with the tags can someone explain it step by step

Um.

Step 1, make an open tag: [card], [cards], or [deck]. Step 2, type in the card name(s). Step 3, make a closed tag: [/card], [/cards], or [/deck].

And yes they have to be done exactly as shown.

but i get excited with anything that has to do with jace. im a big fan.

You are in luck, there is a product aimed squarely at you to come out in a week.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/Signature-Spellbook-Jace

All of those cards except Negate will not be Standard legal be advised.

so what did i do wrong when i typed the hour of dev list above? i thought i did it right

that looks awesomeeee

You still have to put a line break between each one if there are multiple names in between tags.

k cool. fixed

Although I always try to bring people to the blue side, I think green really fits. The best way to know for sure it to play a bunch of games and to try to focus in on what you like the most.

So I have sorted your card into what formats they are playable in. Bonus Ruininap Ruins is banned in standard and firebrand archer is great in pauper (Which isn't an official format, where you can only play only with commons)

The scarab god is a big high point of your collection atm, also Ashes to Ashes is amazing in commander. So I am kind of leaning towards making The Scarab God commander deck (or brawl). However commander is quite the intricate format even if it is often much slower than other formats. The good news is that it doesn't take much for The Scarab god to get out of hand in commander. There is three or four different ways to build him. Zombies, and dealing lots of damage with the upkeep trigger, abusing enter the battlefield effects twice using things like Mulldrifter, putting huge things into the graveyard then putting them into play for just 4 mana (reanimator)

thanks for the info/help il be looking into this
