My sister who is 14 (a year younger than me)
Wants to have a magic deck so she can play with me at FNM, but i dont know what deck to get her! I use a mix a green and black and i was thinking of getting her a custom green deck. But is that a good starter deck? Or should i get a different color?
My budget is 20$ if that matters

I've heard mono red is very cheap so she could get a very competitive deck for low cost. Otherwise the event deck might work well. But I'm not an expert on this stuff

yes but i want a deck good for starters

I guess green is fairly simple then. But I wouldn't exactly call rdw complicated, you just need to learn the play style. Otherwise boros is fairly easy without shocks

You could try a deck builders toolkit, but this is just something to get started. After she has a hang of the game an has tried out a few colors, she could decide what she likes, and you could build a budget deck in that color

yes that sounds like a good idea but Friday coming up fast and i just want a deck she can use easily

If you have a secondary one you could just lend it to her until she has her own.

{B}{W} exalted is relatively cheap, and easy to play, just play the things with exalted ad fast as you can and always swing with the biggest thing.

Mono green and mono red are by far the easiest to use.  I would probably say red is cheaper but green is easier to start with when understanding mechanics of the game.  Red works with instants so using them at the correct times and such is more the idea, whereas green is just RAAR, BIG CREATURE, RAAR!

thats a stereotype. There's a lot more subtlety to green than just that

Anoobass

Yes but we are talking about getting someone started, not telling them to -3 {garruk, caller of beasts} a {craterhoof behometh} and blood rush it with {Skarrg Goliath}.

Edit: wrong card.

You promote this deck way too much lol.

But seriously Red Deck Wins is great. It's a bunch of cheap creatures (lots of commons) it's mono coloured so only basic lands and burn spells are like 25ยข each if that
