Starting Tips for Beginners

Green decks are easy to play.
White decks are easy to play.
In general creatures > buffs > removals > spells in general will be easier to use for beginners. Combos, reviving, milling, synergys, counters and so on will be harder to play at first.
Do not fear to play “just one color”
Try not to get into 3 or more colors to fast
Switch around with starter decks and try them before you go build your own
Before building decks “from the internet” be sure you have the cards for crafting (prolly around 4-6 mythic, 20 rare). There is no use in building half-a-good-deck, better keep collecting till you can craft-finish one meta-deck you want to use

You can have up to 3 at one time -> doing dailies can be done every 3 days.
Daylies give you either 500 or 750 gold -> reroll the once for 500g.
There is little win in doing the daily 15-wins quest each day -> do not burn yourself out on this one

BO1 is your arcade style “normal game”, BO3 is best of 3 with a side deck versus the same opponent. -> This is the traditional game play but maybe not so good for beginners.
Standart is your friend as a beginner, because you got less cards then other ppl.
Alchemy is your next best pick since it is the “traditional online experience” (other cards than paper magic).
Historic and explorer are great game modes, but you need cards for them. Just going with standart decks into these might not be much fun.
You can always stomp bots.
You can play all game modes as “ranked” (aside from bot).
You have a “constructed” rank for your normal ranked games and a “limited” rank for your draft games (not all draft modes count as ranked)
You can always just play friends in 1on1s.
Brawl comes in standart and historic format. Go find out if you like that.
Sadly no commander or 2-headed-giant so far (but commander might come?!?)
