Anything I should know before going in? She has 4 or 5 decks, and says she isn't good (the last person she taught to play beat her first game), but I've litearlly never played it before and just know it as "cool monster card game"

i gotchu:

red is the best color
always buy singles (unless it's over a dollar, then write the rules text on an index card and draw a stick figure and stick it in a sleeve)
never buy packs (unless you enjoy gambling and have a magpie-like attraction to useless shiny objects) (or you wanna play limited. don't be scared of draft)
counterspells are just part of the game
land variance is just part of the game
combo decks are technically part of the game
if you think you should mull, mull
pauper is the best format
when you find a local game store that's actually cool, give them some love
fuck wotc
