[Magic the Gathering Cards #2] Building my first deck. [Add-ons and advice]?

Question

Greetings, I'm new to magic the gathering and I' am building my first deck to play with my friends and other players.

Here is my deck:

2 - Kulrath Knight

1 - Sootwalkers

1 - Bane of the Living

1 - Hidden Horror

1 - Ashenmoor Gouger

2 - Chittering Rats

4 - Death's-head Buzzard

3 - Dusk Imp

4 - Sickle Ripper

1 - Grimclaw Bats

1 - Unworthy Dead

1 - Drudge Skeltons

4 - Sootstoke Kindler

4 - Emberstrike Duo

1 - Fade from Memory

1 - Bonesplitter

1 - Clinging Darkness

2 - Chainer's Edict

2 - Contaminated Bond

2 - Dash Hopes

2 - Fists of the Demigod

1 - Zoetic Cavern

18 - Swamp

I hope that (you/someone) can help me in building my deck.

I think some of my cards are not appropriate to use, but I can't point it out. One problem of this deck that it has no play.

Recommendations of cards, advice and add-ons will be helpful. Thanks again.

Answer 1

Not sure what your overall goal with the deck is, but the first/major thing I see is the number of lands. 19 lands just won't support the heavy end of your curve: Kulrath Knight, Chainer's Edict's flashback, Sootwalkers, etc... will all be stranded in your hand because you didn't draw enough land.

I know it's a hard thing to do starting out, but you should really try to make room for 22-24 land for this deck.

Try deciding what your overall goal is for the deck and concentrate on that.
