So you tell us to practice, but how could i? I cant play with people every day, i cant even post my decks to the desired forums, and dk how to build a competitive deck.. Your articles are beautiful though and i plan on reading all that i can, but im in a serious bind where idk how to progress

The first step to progression is to begin studying basic theories. Many of my articles discuss these theories. You need to have a basic competitive knowledge to understand what I am saying (such as how many cards you should have in your deck and what you should be looking for in certain gamestates). I would recommend you start with my "Death Gaara's Bringing your A game! Card Advantage?" article. This is a fundamental basic that is a necessity for improving. To fix your problems with not being able to play, download either mtgworkstation or cockatrice. They are essentially the free versions of Magic online. This article was on a more advanced level and was not meant for beginners, but intermediate competitive players. I think your biggest problem is you are getting overwhelmed. Take it slow piece by piece. Start with Card Advantage. After you have a firm grasp, move on to things like resource management, different decks and their applications, and card discussion. Watch some of the pros play standard games on youtube. Always start with standard when starting out because it is the easiest format to understand. After you have a firm grasp on this concept, move on to draft videos and study the applications here. When you have tightened both your limited and standard play, ease your way into the eternal formats. These are the most skill intensive formats that will really challenge your knowledge. Ease in and follow an organized plan. Competitive Magic is a lot like homework, you are going to spend hours studying it if you want to get good. Read some articles that the pros have written and analyze their choices and explanations.
