Topic: Thoughts on my new Red/Green deck?

Hi, I just got into Magic and picked up an Intro deck from the store - made a few modifications suggested by a friend and thought I'd post it here to see what you guys think. Any comments or advice are more than welcome smile

Re: Thoughts on my new Red/Green deck?

depends on how you plan to play in the future.  if you want to go to FNMs and such this deck won't get you far there, but for casual play your fine. 

As far as improvments. Try to find more creatures that can lower your curve.(http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Mana_curve). If you're doing RG you gotta pick up a set of burning tree emissary, experiment one, rakdos cakcler, ghorclan rampager.  These cards are fairly inexpensive and will go a long way to getting where you want to be with your deck.  Budget rares to look for are Rubblebelt raiders and the newly minted Savageborn Hydra.  Try to stay under 4-5 cost for your highest cards.

Take a look at the list I have together for a jund (Red, black, Green) aggro.  A lot of the creatures still apply to you.  The mana is the most expensive thing in the deck but once you have it you have it.

Thanks for your advice. Not sure what the acronyms your using mean. Haven't seen FNM or RG before.

Re: Thoughts on my new Red/Green deck?

FNM = Friday Night Magic.  Typically a moderately competitive environment where players meet for tournaments at Local Gaming Stores (LGS) once a week.

RG = Red/Green, referring to your color choices.  U = blue, B = black, R = red, G = green, W = white.  Also note that people will refer to color pairings by their guild affiliations with Ravnica or triple-color groupings by their shard names from the Alara block.  As such the pairings are on the following pages:

Guild Pairings:

Alara Shards:

Alternately, I would suggest tinkering around on the wiki for a bit to familiarize yourself with things.

Re: Thoughts on my new Red/Green deck?

rg = red green, most people especially in text will abbreviate colors to letters (White = w, Blue = U, Green = G, Red = R, Black = B).
fnm = friday night magic, it's a tournament environment where magic players come together.  Prizes and such.

most comic shops have them every friday.  As a new player I'd also suggest looking into drafts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The … ng_formats)  they can help you build your card pool and you get to learn card interactions and deck building strategies. 

also, most knowledgeable players will refer to color combinations by their acronyms "bug" "rug"  or "shard" (from a previous set, shards of alara, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shards_of_Alara).
