Rookie starting to build first deck.
Standard Deck Help forum

I've been causally playing Magic for a few years, and now I'm running a comic and game shop and looking to improve my game. I've always played Black/Green, but I'm looking more towards Black/White or Black/Blue. I don't know if I'm 100% ready for a combo deck and I may be too impatient for a control deck. Any suggestions for an aggressive Black/Blue or White deck in Standard?
I'd definitely lean more twoards Black/Blue because I like having the countering ability that Blue offers. Personally I'm making a Black/Blue deck that's built around Tezzeret's Touch, Fabrication Module and Decoction Module. I'll post it here once I get done. It won't be the best around as I don't have a lot of cards right now, but hopefully the community can give me some ideas and help me decide which cards to buy to spruce up my deck!

Well if you've always ran BG before, now is a great time to continue playing BG in standard! I'm running an Abzan list that has been over-performing for me against other BG lists. Check it out if you'd like:

It's mostly BW, with just a splash of green for some of the better beaters in standard atm.

Disco_Werewolf I know of several very strong black-green in standard. The question is, would you rather build around Delirium or Counters? I have a strong decklist for both.

I can also attempt a blue-black deck, but it will be control-based. If you want, I can make a Red-black standard deck, or you could netdeck Mardu vehicles.

Thank you to everyone who's replied! I really appreciate the help. I've looked up the decks you've all posted and I think I actually have most of it in my collection. The rest I can buy at my store. I'm gonna build them and start testing them this Friday.
Thanks again!

AiryNeon, I'm always going to need help, I'm just taking it one step at a time.
Maverik3 I just pulled some strong black and blue stuff from Eldritch Moon so I'm thinking about a Blue/Black Zombies deck right now. Something aggressive now until I'm ready for combo/control stuff.

this is my black white deck, has a little control with it but it builds pretty quick and can swarm by turn 5/6
