Also find the best players you can and talk to them. Asking for opinions and advice. Most players are friendly and happy to help.<br />
<br />
Also beware of Modo. It can get very expensive. I personally reccomend buying a deck for block constructed and testing and tweeking that. If you get good you can easily build up to a standard deck or just use the winning to fund your drafts.<br />

PV is awesome because he gives really good in game examples of everyting he wants to explain. All his old starcity article are avaliable but the channel fireball archive is a bit fucked at the moment, so some of the older ones there might be tricky to find.<br />

StarCityGames (with Premium, it is easy worth £20/year) and ChannelFireball are the two most important ones from a strategy perspective<br />

Official Wizards site is for more of a casual audience, I used to read it daily but now just check for previews/announcements, or when someone directs me to the occasional useful article there there from Twitter. (The MODO pages are good though, eg:…

Official Wizards site is for more of a casual audience, I used to read it daily but now just check for previews/announcements, or when someone directs me to the occasional useful article there there from Twitter. (The MODO pages are good though, eg: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Archive.aspx?tag=decks%20of%20the%20Week&description=decks%20of%20the%20Week" target="_blank">decks of the week</a>)<br />
<br />
<br />
Speaking of Twitter, it is awesome, I use this list I have created on it for finding articles to read: <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/list/dangerawesome/magic-articles" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/#!/list/dangerawesome/magic-articles</a> - but if you start following a lot of pros or chatty players on it (e.g. me), you see a LOT of decks, sealed pools, draft discussions, etc.<br />
<br />
(Look out next Tuesday on SCG...)<br />

<br />
Not suggesting I am good or anything (I'm really not, and I don't play nearly enough to get real value out of all I read), but I would be significantly worse if I didn't read as much as I do.
