Hey I was wondering if this is a good start to making a deck? I am newish to Magic the Gathering. It goes like this.
x1 Ringwarden Owl x1 Rolling Waters x1 Salvage Drone x1 Negate x2 Grip of the Roil x2 Sweep Away x1 Rush of Ice x1 Clutch of Currents x1 Unity of Purpose x2 Nivix Barrier x2 Gaurdians of Meletis x2 Calculated Dismissal x2 Sigiled Starfish x1 Cyclone Sire (foil) x2 Dreadwaters x1 Uninvited Geist x1 Mist Intruder x2 Umara Entangler x2 Benthic Infiltrator x1 Kozilek's Channeler x1 Incubator Drone x1 Bone to Ash x1 Engulf the Shore x1 Adverse Conditions x1 Displacement Wave x1 Thought Harvester x2 Send to Sleep x1 Mahamoti Djinn x1 Willbreaker x1 Comparative Analysis x1 Blighted Cataract x2 Skyline Cascade x17 Basic Land: Island
As you can see it is somewhat a Exile/Control deck. Does it need some tweaks? Please let me know. Thanks! :)

It's completely fine if your one-ofs are either win-cons or utility that has a narrower window of effectiveness. The staple cards that you want to ride, you should have 4-ofs though, for sure.

They are correct, having the deck built on the deck builder lets us see all the card and give much better advice. I always tell people (because I had this problem too) that you have to narrow the idea and focus on 1-2 things. Ex. Eldrazi Ramp, Dragon Control, Bant Company, Humans Aggro, Tokens, Nahiri Naya, etc. Find a deck, run it against good competition, modify it if needed, repeat. Some decks need 3 colors to work, some need 2 but 1 can work that's for sure. Hope this helps. Simplicity is key, nobody is winning running Sultai Superfriends Eldrazi Ramp Control so find what you want and make it work. Another thing, again not sure of all these cards, but I didn't see any cards I knew to be a win con so I was worried about that as well. Hope it works out.

First, you can make a deck using the deck builder on this site. Also, it is never a good idea to use what I call "one of this, one of that" deckbuilding. I would suggest cutting to the main theme, and getting 3 or 4 copies of each. Also, playing two themes, in this case exile and control, results in your deck having a "split personality", where you can do both, but with low success, and this often leads to a deck that can do neither. But yea, once you make the deck, you can deckcycle it a couple of times and ask for tweaks or post it in the advertise standard decks thread.
