Topic: Tips and or suggestions for a beginner Red & Green Creature Deck

http://deckbox.org/sets/306096

My Girlfriend got me started playing this game a few months ago, and she kicks my butt in a hurry 90% of the time, and I would like to be able to at least hold my ground a little better, at this time we only play against each other, but she has been playing this game for many years, and has played in a few friday night magic tourments in the past, but none in the last few years.

The deck above is only the second deck I have created and the first one without her help, so any tips and or suggestions would be great.

Im totally new to this site and pretty new to this game so bear with me if something important is missing here wink

So I guess the first question I would ask is: What format are you looking to play?  The most likely is casual for the time being, but I have to ask because you're sitting at 100 cards in your deck when most decks (outside of EDH play) are 60 cards (or a bit above).  As such, that'd be my first step if I were you, try to figure out the two or three card combinations that you like most and build around those.  For instance, you have Garruk, Primal Hunter, a great card, but no mana acceleration to ensure you get him out early in the game.

But before I, or anyone gets too far into things, it would be good if you could tell us more about your play style, how you like to play, etc.  Are you a defensive player?  Do you play aggressively and attack relentlessly to win the game ASAP (making you an aggro player)?  Do you prefer extending the game by killing their creatures?

Really once you give us a feel for how you like to play we can offer some added insights, as, at current the deck isn't really that focused and could go in a number of ways.

we play casual, I have only played take away with my other deck, so im not sure which one i would like to target, my thought is to try all of the different styles and see which one i like and build up from there.
I do kind of like the take away but it can be a forever lasting game, and there maybe a different style i like more i just havent tried it yet.

Mana acceration I dont think I have any cards that do that yet (at least I dont think I do)

Im in the process of putting my card invertory on here already

I'm not too sure what style this deck fits I put it together by reading all my green and red cards and mentally figuring out which ones might work well together, she uses a black and red deck or a green and white deck im not sure what style either of her decks are, all i know is i lose alot of the time and she is constantly changing her cards in her deck.
