fat packs have the worst chances to pull back your money I agree on the event deck that kriskurse suggested and buy at least two cause Thragtusk wins games you can make a good B/G midrange deck from it too. You probably won't be able to build a pro tourney deck but you can make a deck that might place top 16 in your meta you just have to know what to sideboard for so my overall suggestion is to buy the event deck, play a few fnm's to learn what your opponents play and adjust your deck and sideboard accordingly. so look online see what sets have what your trying to get and you could get booster packs and hope to pull value or you could buy singles and get what you need for your deck right away. over the last two years I have started to buy more singles over boosters but I always buy a box of the new set if it has enough overall value. hope this helped.

I would say buy 2 Golgari event decks, will give you decent cards and the cards in the event decks are worth more than the event decks right now. I'd save the rest of your money to buy singles that you think you'll need for your deck. If you want to play Golgari zombies, some of the cards like Gravecrawler and card:Geralf's Messenger and Lotleth Troll are ones you are going to want. Rancor is also good (if they sell singles there). Fat Packs aren't worth it.

they dont sell singles there :S well i have 3 rancor of urza legacy and if i search all my boxes i will find one more for sure...i was preaty active on magic that time, i have a lot of old cards like dual lands(revised) and things like that...but if they have 4 event deck's i migth get crazy and buy them...xDor should i spend money on some other stuff and buy the 2 event i am relly lost here

Do they sell packs for cheap? Because fat packs really aren't worth it unless you really like the box and dice for some reason. Also, if you buy new cards, buy Return to Ravnica. Hopefully then you can do some trading. I'll try and build a standard Golgari zombie deck if you want and post it here. Should take me about 5 minutes.

would you do that? thanksss :D i would really appreciate that! they sell 3 booster packs but they are expensive like 10 euros http://tappedout.net/subscriptions/unsubscribe/67/11201/?return_url=/mtg-forum/deck-help/help-on-a-standard-deck/

Here it is, might require some work, but this is a pretty good base deck. I added in the Thragtusks because I realized that they are in the event deck and you might want to use them. The other version is just go for a Golgari deck, not using zombies and use cards like Strangleroot Geist and Wolfir Silverheart . Depends on which one you like more. Here is the zombie version: deck:golgari-zombies-base. You don't need the Caverns for it to function, and you can use Golgari Guildgate if you need more duals. Otherwise just use Forests and maybe Evolving Wilds .

Yeah go ahead, I'm up for questions. The top 8 decks are also a good idea to check out, as those have actually seen tournament play. The one I posted was just to give you a general idea of what one might look like. I play Jund Zombies, here is that deck if you are interested: deck:jund-zombie-ridiculousness.
December 8, 2012 3:56 p.m.
ok i will see that decks and will come back for some questions...i will go to the store tomorrow, so i should get only 2 event deck of RTR or 4?if they are sold out of that deck what should i buy?(its good to have a B plan) thanks :D

December 8, 2012 9:29 p.m.
ok lets see what you vote:
option 1-me buying 4 event deck's
option 2- me buying 2 event deck and 1 fat pack
thanks

I would personally buy the Event decks. But i only say that because it comes with a Thragtusk , Woodland Cemetery , Strangleroot Geist and others, where a fat pack is random and would be harder to make a actual deck around.
