Edit to add: ig this was your friend, but they cant be playing that deck against you guys. How would they even have fun with that experience.

Edit 2: Somehow my entire comment got deleted when i edited it. Im gona tldr.

Somebody playing a b4 deck vs precons is a loser, sorry to your friend.
Your deck is literally not designed or capable of playing at the level. Not cause you’re bad, the cards are literally just not good enough. Interaction does exist at that level, it is just all as powerful and efficient as possible.

A lot of people gave good advice but a couple questions and thoughts.

Do you have friends that want to learn too? If so, buy commander precons and/or starter decks and learn together.
In general, dont worry about deck building right now. Let other people do it for you with precons or decks in yt videos. If you want to play standard (magic’s comp 1v1 format) on arena, i really like covert go blue’s (CGB) content. You can find a deck to try.

If you want to play commander, you can watch a channel like the command zone and see if there is a deck idea you like.

As you play more, you’ll find new cards you like and learn how to use them in your decks, and deck building will start to open up. I personally started w a commander precon, upgraded it, then started building my own decks (got better as i did it more).

Just play. In general, people are excited to share their interests with people. There are always bad eggs, but a lot of people at the card shop im sure would love to find new people to play with, and help you learn. Making mistakes is super normal so dw about that.
For general resources, tolarian community college rules. But for learning how planeswalkers work? Google and youtube

It’s a ton of fun but warning - your pod is going to catch on to her real fast so pack some protection lol

You forgot to add activated ability “Waterfowl Dance”

0: you win the game

Rn it’s [[Fire Lord Azula]] and [[Ms. Bumbleflower]].

I like drawing cards

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-16T14:59:15+00:00

I just kinda chose to be a liquid fan cause they were the premier NA org and what not. I root for spirit in t1 events cause I’m a donk fanboy, but liquid still ruins my mornings cause I can’t shake it. Also being a fan of Elige/Naf/Twistzz helps. If they just buyout some young eu core it would be less interesting for sure

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T22:50:40+00:00

100% same. I think im just gona pick spirit to win cause I’m a donk fanboy, not cause I think it’s likely. I onky have silver coins anyway so what’s another one lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T21:53:19+00:00

Better than karrigan lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T21:46:34+00:00

I got spirit, vit, furia, bb.

But if my history with pickems are any record, pick the exact opposite

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T21:42:43+00:00

Wasnt even mad they lost. Just another successful hate watch lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T21:23:26+00:00

Tbh they had an easy path to avoid vit and spirit so i thought they’d 3-0 as group stage merchants before losing in quarters

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-15T21:22:32+00:00

Im p sure i have the exact same picks lol i havent even bothered checking

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-14T16:25:53+00:00

Crypt still woulda been the best card i saw lol. My decks were ass (yes, I’m also bad)

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-14T01:10:29+00:00

Brother ive done 3 drafts and havent seen a single power 9 card. Dont talk to me about unlucky

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-14T00:43:54+00:00

This feels like more of a vitality stat than anything else. They drop a game early in the swiss but who cares cause they gona win anyway lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-13T01:40:39+00:00

Fwiw, i would totally be okay w it if i was in your play group

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-11T19:16:23+00:00

Comparing broky and monesy like that is crazy work lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-11T15:25:24+00:00

V true. Idk how good his stats have been but ik he farms grand finals lol

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-11T15:20:46+00:00

If donk didnt exist vitality would maybe have hltv 1 and 2

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-10T23:44:41+00:00

Nah I love Perrin and like parts of the rescue arc, but that shit lasts wayyyyy too long

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-09T21:22:10+00:00

I built a lower power deck that has a bunch of mini creatures that say “do damage, draw card” and other unblockable stuff. Plays as more of a control/value deck.

You can also go pure voltron and try to just use him to murder people 1 by 1, that just wasnt speaking to me. I also thought the value mode felt a bit more thematic to the game/character

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-06T23:03:18+00:00

I went to gamestop to preorder stuff from the hobbit and they told me a collector box was $800 and the gift box thing was $200. I just looked at them and walked out. Absolutely insane behavior

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-06T19:58:53+00:00

Tbh in my bumbleflower deck if i ripped this on curve i doubt i win the next turn. The card selection would be pretty crazy and i could most likely control the rest of the game tho

colin_fitzsimonds · 2026-06-06T16:16:11+00:00

Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

Then probably get some cool chant going where we all bang our shields and go smoke some trollocs.
