Thanks for the valuable input, I really appreciate it!

I re-did my deck to fit the sealed standard, ie. only 40 cards. I went with Mardu, and today we played at our house some ~10 games. Aaaand... this deck pretty much crushed my friends attempts at anything. I think he won like one out of the ten matches we played, and that was a game where I was starved for mana, I only got 3 mana in my opening hand, and no more for the rest of the game.

I would like to attend FNM sometime in the future, when I get the hang of the game a little better. There's some mechanics not in the PC version on these cards that takes some amount of games to get to your head around, how you should utilize them and when, like renown and morph abilities.

I am aware of rotation, and KTK wasn't really my first choice, my purpose was to buy fat packs of Dragons of Tarkir but the store didn't have them so I went with KTK instead.

But yeah, I think I'll stay on limited for now, maybe attending sealed tournaments. I have no idea about what the local FNM sccene is like, I know where they play and when, but haven't dared attend yet. Now that I have some games under my belt I feel a little more confident that I won't screw up royally during play.

I know what sealed means, hence the quotation marks since this isn't exactly "real" sealed rules anyway, given the extra boosters and our goal of making standard legal decks with them.

Limited was what I had in mind when I purchased the packs. I thought it'd be fun to try out some deck building with a limited pool of cards, and see what we can throw together, and I thought we'd be on a reasonably even playfield if we get identical sets of boosters even though, of course, the contents will vary somewhat. We're not going to any tournaments with these decks, rest assured smile Just for fun, kitchen table play until we learn the ropes.

I scraped together something, have no idea whatsoever if it's good or not, but it's my first deck so I'd love some critique, and please do tell me if there's anything I definitely should replace. I know already that three Bloodfire Mentors is far from ideal, especially since I only have the one source for blue mana with Mystic Monastery, but I really, really lacked three drops and have pretty much nothing else of value to replace them with, I think.

First post here, hi everyone!

So, I bought a couple of fat packs for myself and a friend of mine (Khans of Tarkir, both of them). I ended up with fat pack because neither of us had any cards beforehand, my friend used to play back in the days but had sold all his cards, and I have only played DotP and Duels on the PC, so we needed the lands. And I kind of like the idea of "sealed".

So, I added all the cards I got from the fat pack to my collection (not sure if you guys are able to see them, though?) and of course, now would be the time to actually build a deck from it. Now, I have close to 0 experience building any decks by myself. But based on the cards I have I think I'd like to go with either Mardu or Sultai.

Thoughts?
