I just recently got into magic for the first time ever, my friends both decided to build blue decks with one of colour meshed in there, i couldn't stay away from red and black but found that i had nothing that really helped me so i added some white in there. Do you have suggestion that don't involve me buying the worlds best cards. Do i need more or less creatures or instants etc.Thanks in advance :) Rakdos-Boros
Thanks so much.
We play standard. The blue black deck focuses mostly on destroying my creatures while putting out a bunch of creature tokens and such.
The blue red one pretty much focuses on hitting me directly and then stopping my creatures from doing anything.
I love black red, but felt like i needed some white too because they kept controlling what i could/couldnt do.

Ok so you want anti-removal. Some key cards for a black deck would be.
Blood Artist this is the creature anti-hate black card. Any time a creature dies it siphons life in your favor.
Witchbane Orb will stop any DD
What specific cards stop your creatures? These decks may help you find what your looking for.

for tokens I suggest Illness in the Ranks especially if you have two out that shuts down almost all of the tokens blue/black will produce. As for your targeted problems I suggest hexproof sadly there are no decent cards for this except for one artifact Mask of Avacyn , and if you specifically are being targeted it might be a bit on the pricy side but I would suggest Witchbane Orb . There is another way around your problem however this is most likely be the most expensive route use Slaughter Games to get rid of their stuff that or Pithing Needle which is less expensive than the games

When I meant by there are no decent hexproof cards I meant for your specified colors

Well first off what format do you and your friends play? What do their decks run? Counter spells? Mill? Burn? Etc. I see your going black and red. I have a TON of good cheap decks for a budget. But can't suggest specific ones because I don't know what you are looking to do
