Never played Magic, where do I start?

I wanna get into MTG, my friends play it, and after discovering Dinosaurs were in it, I’m convinced (easily) to play!

What’s the best way to start building a Dino Deck? I know the Ixalan deck is a good start, but beyond that?

Any help is appreciated!

I’m looking to get into magic and I’m really into the dinosaur cards, but have no idea how to start, I know there’s JW crossover boxes, would those be a good idea?

Anyone else run Sarkhan's Unsealing in Pantlaza?

I feel like I have never seen anyone running this besides me and it absolutely slaps unless it's removed immediately

Primer kinda smudged everything so it doesn’t look amazing right now, but getting ready to start painting the biggest project I’ve done in years.

Help with an etali and pantlaza deck for custom format in my locals

Hey everyone 👋

At my locals we’re testing two different formats, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to adapt my decks for each one. I’d really appreciate some feedback.

Formats:

  1. Bracket 3–ish

* Infinite combos allowed only after turn 6

* Max 3 game changers per deck

  1. Bracket 4/5

* No infinite combos at all

I usually play Pantlaza, Sun-Favored with a blink-focused build in both environments, and it’s been performing well. However, I’m considering also bringing Etali, Primal Conqueror and tuning both lists specifically for these formats.

What I’m looking for

* What modifications would you suggest for:

* Pantlaza blink in Format 1 vs Format 2

* Etali in Format 1 vs Format 2

* How would you:

* Adjust game changers (which 3 are worth it in the first format?)

* Balance speed vs resilience, especially with delayed infinites

* Replace infinite combo lines in the b4/5 format while keeping Etali threatening

* Any must-cut or must-include cards depending on the ruleset

My main concern is keeping Pantlaza strong without overshooting the power limits, and making Etali viable without relying on infinites in the higher bracket.

If you’ve played in similar “custom bracket” metas or have experience tuning these commanders across power levels, I’d love to hear your thoughts 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Zacama budget deck list?

I’m fairly new playing magic and have been having a great time playing commander. Was wondering if anyone has a fairly budget list commander deck list. Looking to spend roughly $50 or $60 not sure if that’s feasible. If not let me know what cards are must buys that work with zacama. Don’t really have a strategy but would like to keep it majority Dino deck.
