I have another newbie question. Let's say I am doing this based off standard play; If I were to buy two deck builder sets that are in the current blocks list, are the two decks interchangeable with each other if I were to combine them to build my own deck? If they can be combined, are they still "technically" usable in play? Meaning do a lot of people do it or does it significantly drop your win-rate because there are so many different cards containing different things from different sets? Thanks!
EDIT: Also, Can I play standard rules without the rule that it has to be in the current block? Thanks.
Thanks a bunch. I'm going to buy two intro packs and go on from there. Going to play with a friend and teach and learn as the games flow on.
WizardMN, do you by any chance go to Air Traffic's (@MOA of course) MTG meet-ups? How often do you guys get newbies like me in to play? I just don't want to go there and it'd be all awkward. However I figured that'd be the best way to learn, by playing with other newbies and watching the pros play. I bet Air Traffic in MOA is packed to hell since all the other locations sadly closed down.
The format specific rules (Vintage, Legacy, Modern, Standard, Pauper, Commander, etc.) all deal with deck construction limitations only. The rules of the game are all the same. If you are not playing in a tournament, it doesn't matter what format you choose to play.
That being said, cards in the Planechase Anthology are not legal in Standard. Standard consists of a card pool using the last 3-4 blocks released by Wizards and Planechase is not a block. It is a supplemental set so it is outside the card pool for Standard (and Modern for that matter). There may be some cards legal in Standard that are printed in Planechase, but some are not.
The four blocks are, Kaladesh, Eldrich Moon, Shadows Over Innistrad, Oath of the Gatewatch? Is there premade decks consisting of cards in these 4 blocks? If so, please suggest them. Thanks!
Hey. I am a newbie here. I've Googled a bit and Youtubed a bit and find that some people say the Planeschase Anthology set is not worth the price, however that doesn't change my decision of wanting it.
I used to play Magic about 5 years ago and I totally forgot how to play because it's been so long. However I have been binging on playing Magic Duels and regain some knowledge back. I now want to start up playing again and teach my friends how to play. I was wondering if I can use 1 of the 4 decks and my friend use 1 of the 4 decks as well, is it possible to play under standard rules with those decks?
I am going to want to know more about the style of playing standard. I've decided that playing in real life with friends and other people at the weekly MTG meet-up at a local hobby store will help.
Thanks for taking your times reading this, hope to hear your replies.
EDIT: I forgot to add; If there are other or ways or sets to better play MTG Standard rather than just the Planechase Anthology set? If so, please enlighten me. Thanks.
