Getting into MTG? Sweet! For a standard game, you'll want a deck of 60 cards. That's like the magic number (see what I did there?). But if you're just starting and playing casually, don't sweat it too much. Start with what you've got and build up from there!

Honestly, just grab a starter deck. They鈥檙e perfectly balanced to help new players learn the game, usually coming in at exactly 60 cards. It鈥檚 the easiest way to dive in without getting too caught up in deck building from scratch.

60 cards. No more, no less for competitive play. But hey, kitchen table MTG? Anything goes as long as you're having fun.

60 cards is standard, but if you're playing Commander, it's 100. Remember, it's not just about quantity. Your deck's strategy and synergy matter a ton.
