What is the best starter deck for Magic The Gathering?

Planeswalker Intro Decks This is a 60-card deck made with beginners in mind. Each deck is centred around a Planeswalker card. Planeswalkers are some of the coolest cards in Magic. They represent most powerful characters from Magic Lore.

How many creatures should be in a 60 card Magic deck?

For anyone’s first deck, I recommend a good balance of creatures coupled with other cards. If you’re playing with 23 lands, I think about 20 creatures to 22 creatures is a solid place to be. This will put you at 43 to 45 cards out of your minimum 60 and help to ensure that you’re not just swept off the table.

How does companion work MTG?

702.138a Companion is a keyword ability that functions outside the game. Once during the game, any time you have priority and the stack is empty, but only during a main phase of your turn, you may pay {3} and put that card into your hand. This is a special action that doesn’t use the stack (see rule 116.2g).

Does companion count your commander?

Each Commander deck may include a chosen companion. It starts outside the game and doesn’t count as one of your 100 cards. Just like the rest of your deck, your commander must follow the deck-building rule if you’re going to use a companion. If a card is your companion, it is effectively a 101st card.

How does mutate work?

Mutate is a new keyword that lets you combine creatures in a new way to build better monsters. You know, for fun and smashing. Every creature card with mutate gives you two ways to cast the spell. Somewhat predictably, the first is just cast it for its mana cost.

Is cycling an activated ability Zirda?

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities are activated abilities (such as cycling) and will have colons in their reminder text. An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate.

Is cycling an activated ability?

702.28a Cycling is an activated ability that functions only while the card with cycling is in a player’s hand.

Is morph an activated ability?

Once you have a face-down creature in play, you have the option to turn it face up. You can do this any time you have priority. Just pay the morph cost, and turn it face up. This isn’t an activated ability, and doesn’t use the stack, so your opponent can’t respond to it or counter it.
