My deck was Red/Green. I had the most multicolored cards for it and both colors are pretty straightforward. The shop plays Standard. I would like to play Modern so I could use the 2013 cards that I've grown to love from the video game I played, but alas that is not the case. And in Modern there are a lot more opportunities to face off against a broken-powerful deck, so it's not too bad. New is good.

That actually sounds like a decent way to start in all honesty...also, note that you'll always meet a powerful deck or a broken one, but yes Standard does tone it down to a fairly good level. Still though I love modern for the fairly wide variety that it holds...
