    Hey there, this was my first magic deck, has served me well in completing daily quests and doing Bo1 constructed event to earn more gold and cards.

    I think I've finally grinded enough cards/wild cards to make another deck.

    Any recommendations on a logical next deck to progress to from mono blue tempo? I don't necessarily mean, using some of the same cards, although, that would be nice. I just mean, something that is also viable, maybe a bit more advanced/powerful, that is also fun/skillful like this deck.

    I guess what I like about this deck is, you can get by sometimes with a relatively low amount of lands, so, getting mana screwed feels like it happens just a bit less with this deck. I've started with 1 land hands before and won, due to the make up of the rest of my hand.

    I also like the counter play here, so, holding back a turn to set up minion so I'll have the extra mana to protect my minion and just holding back a bit of mana each time for my opponent's turn to protect my minions. That back and forth has been fun.

    Having said that, I like that this deck, when things go well, can go pretty fast and isn't a super long, drawn out chore either.

    Thanks for any suggestions, I'll probably keep playing this deck as well, but would like to explore/learn a little more since I'm still brand new to Magic.

    Just wanted to say, I've never played Magic before, neither offline or online, but I've always wanted to and MTG Arena finally pushed me over the edge.

    I've been playing Hearthstone since open beta (so like 4 years now) mainly because I was a WoW fanatic and MTG Arena is the first alternative that has me hooked. I've tried several others (Gwent, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, Shadowverse, Eternal ... etc.) and they just didn't grab me for whatever reason.

    Anyways, I was looking for budget decks for a new player/free to play player and found this thread. I'm so excited because not only have I been able to build this deck relatively easily/cheaply, but, it's also fun, powerful and not a no-brainer to play effectively.

    Thanks so much to all that have contributed to this thread, I've learned a lot in the last month that I've started playing it on MTG Arena and I'm having a blast!

    This past week, I've gone 7-2 twice in the constructed event with this deck and I'm completing quests while earning event rewards and slowly building my collection.

    I still love playing Hearthstone when I have free time and I only have my phone, but now, when I have free time and access to a computer, it's MTG Arena!
