What is the best colour Tenth Edition Theme Deck to begin playing Magic: The Gathering with? Hey everyone, I want to get started in Magic: the Gathering but I'm not sure what deck to buy. I have no experience in the game at all, but I have watched all the YouTube videos, plus I used to play the WoW TCG which is very similar. I am pretty sure I don't want to play a Blue or Black deck, so they are out. My friend that got me into it has both a Red deck and a Blue deck, and I want something different to them. I have read that it is easier to start off with a mono (one colour) deck. So I could get either the White (Cho-Manno's Resolve) or the Green deck (Molimo's Might). My play style in other TCG's is to obliterate my opponent with strong monsters whilst keeping myself as healthy as possible. Which would be the best deck for a complete beginner, that also matches my play style?
