Why do you have som much land?

[Mblitz]

I don't have many cards that are red/black! I am going to be buying some single cards in a bit any suggestions? I have 30-40 dollars to spend!

Normally you would never run 31 land in a deck unless it was some sort of combo/landfall deck or something.  I understand you are new to MtG so I will give you a good rule of thumb for deck building.  I call it a 20-20-20 rule.  Start with 20 land, 20 creatures, and 20 other spells.  Then go from there with tweaking it.  You need to consider mana cost as well, so if you run a weenie deck that swarms with a lot of 1 and 2 nana cost creatures then you may only need 20 land or 19 at the bare minimum.  Now if you are building a deck with higher cost creatures like 5-8 mana cost then you will want 23-24 land or so....26 at the highest IMO.  The higher casting cost deck will also need some control spells like {mana leak}, {vapor snag}, {doom blade}, {day of judgement} to name a few.  This higher casting cost deck will also need some low casting cost creatures to help with early defense....creatures like {doomed traveler}, {black cat}, or death touch creatures will help sway your opponents from attacking you.

There are so many ways to build a deck but just try to find a theme or cards to build a deck around and figure out if you want to build a control oriented, Aggro AKA aggressive deck, or a combo deck.  I would recommend building an Aggro deck that uses low cost fast creatures and see how that goes.

Search event decks online and buy one of those.  They are around $25 and give you an awesome base to build from.

Ok what should I switch out I have 11 open spaces atm!

Is this better?

If you like B/R then go with vampires.  There are plenty you can get really cheap.  The more expensive ones like {Stromkirk noble} and {Olivia valderon} will always help but you should spend money on 4 {Dragonskull summit} first thing.  All the best creatures are nothing without the mana to cast them.....I consider good dual lands worth their weight in MtG gold.

Don't buy it if you plan on playing Standard! Only 15 of the cards in it are Standard legal!

Can you post a cheap deck I could buy to play standard?

You could buy the cards from the deck I made off tcgplayer.com or sales.starcitygames.com
