I have played several young children/younger siblings at FNM before, and they all seem to have red decks or red based decks. Sometimes they have gotten close to beating me, or simply beaten me alltogether. There's a reason they have these decks. Red is the best color for beginers hands down! This is based on two theories: Firstly, starting players don't like things to be complicated. Red isn't. Secondly, nobody likes to lose, and losing every game due to being new is no fun! Red decks tend to...win. ;)

your hinting at red deck wins arnt you?

Can get the event decks for under $20 online and some game stores. Might want to look into one of the last three. Theros (might not be out yet) m14 kinda fun or dragon maze( is a fun deck but a little hard to navigate to a beguiner). They come with all you need a deck box spin down and side board. I suggest you look into these.

seitch it out for two {legion loyalist}, bringing it up to 4. Same with the red devotion guy that can deal massive damage, add more of him

Intro Decks are a good choice.I would recommend the Izzet Intro Deck.

the izzet intro is too weak to be competitive. Most intro decks are

again. All the intro decks are weak. Though, if I would recommend one to start with. I'd say Azurious would be the way to go. But be sure to pick up some good {W}{U} cards from the ravnica and theros block. But try not to mess with the spirit of the deck

Event decks are actually okay, waay better than the intro decks.
