[2020] New Player - Confused


Original Post — Direct link

Hi, I grabbed MTG arena yesterday and did the five tutorials, now it's asking me to do some colour challenges. I beat the first five tutorials easy enough, the dragon took a few goes, and I beat the first colour challenge no problem. However the second one seems impossible... Red (me) vs Green. With the deck it's giving me it seems literally impossible to beat, and I can't find anything online to help! Any pointers? I can't seem to change any cards, or try a different challenge.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

NB - Please be gentle I am 100% new to this kind of game, and MTGa

Just beat it! Must've been 15 attempts. I honestly think I need to go back and restart the whole thing as I think I missed a fundamental mechanic or something - the land cards you play have a function which I'm not sure about, you can click the cards in your turn and it taps them and adds a number by my players avatar, I don't know what it means but it must've helped!

Hi Dave,

I'm glad you stuck with it and finally beat the level! The big ideas that the Color Challenges are trying to teach are WHEN to cast your spells, but it sounds like you are stuck on HOW to cast spells.

I would replay the tutorial, as some have suggested, or you could watch this video that explains the basics:

Good luck!
