Hi, I would wait for the duel deck if I were you. It should be out in November I think. If you are not in a hurry, you will find a lot of cards there. They should have it in your store.
Not really in a hurry, but I would like to start playing at least FNMs with a decent deck as soon as I can, for the experience. Going to look forward for that duel deck.
Hello everyone, starting my first ever competitive deck and I need some (a lot) of help. Decided to go merfolk since I don't have a lot of money to spend on mtg, so I thought a good deck that wouldn't be so expensive on an eternal format would be a good choice.
That said I live in a kinda isolated city in Brazil, and there's only one cardstore here so I get a very limited stock of cards to go to.
As you can see from the list there are some stuff I would have bought a playset but my store doesn't have it.
As for Aether Vial, Mutavault and cavern of souls the store has none of them and they're out of reach finacially for now (i have about 300 bucks in brazillian money to spend on mtg every month and a Vial copy costs about 250 bucks, if I can find it, Cavern is around 200) for nexy month I'm trying to get 2x cursecatcher and 4x mutavault the 6 cards will cost me about 275. And the next one hunt for 4x Master of Waves and 4x Master of the Pearl trident
This friday I'm thinking of going to the store with this and start playing to get the hang of it:
Maybe go 18 Islands and get amother +1 negate and +1 unsummon? I think that untill I can get those vials, MoW and the other lord I should focus on control. Or maybe I should look for budget cards?
