Magic the Gathering Card Game

I need some help with tips for building a deck in magic the gathering?

I have just made a blue green deck and was wondering if anybody had some good ideas for strategies or tips you may know to help me. Thanks

1. Permission/Big Creatures. Without knowing what you put in the deck, here is my advice. Play the deck against 5 other different decks. This should give you a feel for what is working in the deck and what needs to be changed. If you draw what you consider a key card in your deck and then find you really don't have the ability or opportunity to properly play the card, it's probably not a card you want to keep as it does nothing to help you when you need it to. You will find that other cards work well together and if you are not running 4 of those cards, you may want to increase your count to 4. You will also find if you have enough of the correct mana in your deck as you don't want to be running mostly blue spells and only drawing green mana or green mana sources or vice versa. Look to see how quickly you can get to your kill condition in the deck. How fast do you believe you can win with this deck. Is it meant for a long game or a short quick victory? If it's meant for a long game, do you have early defense? If it's meant for a quick victory, do you have the ability to stop small board clearing methods like Pyroclasm or what happens to your army if Volcanic Fallout is played? There are a few strategies and tips, good luck and I hope you can tweak your deck accordingly.
2. first off this is always one of my favorite questions secondly i wouldn't put blue with green as those colors don't really work well together in fact i haven't seen many blue green hybrid cards. the reason they don't work well is b/c blue is control and green is all about brute force. also blue is way slower then green. theres only two reason why you would make a blue and green deck one b/c that's the only color you have or two you don't have enough of the other colors to make a good enough deck. most common deck types are of coarse the mono deck of each color and the black/blue, green/white,black/red and green/red. i personally have a green/red/white deck but i have 3 reds and 2 whites the rest are green out of a 70 card deck.
3. My old favortie 2 colors are blue green. I haven't been playing for awhile so I don't know the current enviroment. But there are a couple ways to go with blue green, counter spells, blue evasive creatures to get through, green for mana producers and big huge creatures.
