ROLL OFF

To decide who goes first, one player just bucks up and boldly rolls a d20, then each other player may roll a d20 into any other d20 to change the numbers. After everyone has rolled, highest d20 goes first.
An enthusiastic wizard once called this Battle Dice. I like that.

ARCHETYPES / DECKS / STRATEGY

Go for a 2 color deck with a healthy splash of a 3rd color. See what happens. Play for value, and watch out for incidental life loss.
In general, briefly, and with some exceptions :

• White plays well with everyone and is a tool box of answers.
• Blue is the only color that can draw cards.
• Black is heavy into reanimator, but also has some 'clean' creature removal.
• Red has the only direct damage.
• Green has the only ramp, save a few rocks.
