Hello MTG veterans, it's my 1st post so I'm excited to be here!
I'd like to ask you for advice as a beginner player on my first deck (in 15 years!). My friends dusted off their old 7-8th Ed era decks and started to play again for fun. I'd like to join, but I sold all the cards way back. Would love to come up with a fun deck:
- on a dirt cheap budget ($20-30) because who knows if it's gonna last,
- blue control, instant/cantrip/permission heavy deck,
- opposing decks are cheap as well afaik, old slivers, big green beasts, some white soldiers and artifact (Mirrodin era) mechanics,
- preferably built with current Standard pieces (easier to buy I guess, and price) but Modern cards are good too, if I can get them
I've seen some great Strixhaven U/R cards recently, with treasure tokens, magecraft etc. Splashing to Red/Black is fine with me. I just prefer pure spells over creatures, but I guess I can't be picky with cheap deck.
Can you please direct me, where to get ideas for this deck, what mechanics work best with common cards? Any insight is precious as I'm a newbie really.
