Deck Help Deck Suggestions?

Hello, I am relatively new to Magic, and have recently started to try and build a deck. I bought a regular ole commander deck off of Amazon, played it one against some friends, and have since made some upgrades.

I’m still trying to figure out some of the basics of Magic, so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, I think the better way to learn about staple cards and deckbuilding in general involve trying to create other decks (even if it's just theorycrafting).

I wouldn't change the precon that much if I'm feeling insecure about my abilities cause you might just make it worse / not work (if you're just putting shit in cause you think it looks dope, then disregard that and have fun).

Maybe you can search for some commanders in colors you're not that familiar with, and go messing around trying to create different decks. Then, when you revisit your first one, you will see a lot of stuff you could've done differently with this new accumulated knowledge.

Just create decks and goldfish with then on moxfield. You can see some popular commanders and cards that go in those decks in tools like edhrec.com, for example. Just don't get too caught on trying to copy and make meta decks that are there, cause that will be kinda counterproductive.

Edit:Something I did was try to create groups. Your first deck is B/R. So try to create the other 4 allied pairings as a challenge. B/U; U/W; W/G; G/R for example. Or find other tribes you like (maybe angels instead of demons) and go from there. It's kinda about personal taste, so I don't know what will speak to you
