Do you guys have any resources for learning how to build a deck? (Standard)
I haven't played Magic for a decade, but I'd like to play around with some stuff in Arena. I tried to play with a good online budget build, but it kinda feels like cheating.

Here is the current world champ telling you that looking up a deck online isn't cheating:

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't actually mean to imply that people using online decks are cheating.
I just personally think it's fun to work with limited resources and try out what you came up with from time to time.

I was more thinking about things like the manacurve for different playstyles, necessity of card draw etc.
But it would probably better to just try changing things in an established deck.

In Modern, I've been using an Eldrazi tron deck recently but I am wondering what other Eldrazi combinations I could try.

There is the mono-green version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avGAv7ogmR4

But are there are other variants that I should know about?
Eldrazi Obligator seems underrated?

There was a mono red eldrazi deck that won an MTGO event recently.

Thanks, that deck looks powerful, although I think that the synergy is not super high here.
Especially the Ragavan - Chalice combination.

Because Chalice on 0 is better in Modern right now than on 1 heh.

Yeah that makes sense. I don't like playing cards like Chalice in paper though, they are not very fun at the table.

2-2 at my prerelease. I had a decent RB good stuff deck that I could have 3-1'd if I didn't punt my last game by missing exact lethal :(

e: also a bunch of people there opened packs missing rares which was kind of hosed. the friend I went with had three of his six missing. the store gave him some free packs but he was pissed

Imagine loving up filling booster packs after 30 years of experience
