Where can I use my own deck?
When I play PvP in color challenges it always gives me standart deck and I cant choose my own? How and where do I use my own deck? What is the poin increating it?

Go to the Home screen and mouse over the blue quest at the bottom. You have to complete Sparky's Challenge (3 wins vs AI) to progress to the Starter Deck Duel event queue that will unlock the 10 dual-color starter decks. This is a dual-color precon queue against other players that only uses the dual-color starter decks. It's good for new players because you can even complete your dailies here.

Alternatively, if you're experienced in MTG and want to skip all this, just hit ESC (Options) -> Account (bottom left link) -> Unlock Play Modes

Getting the 10 dual-color starter decks has changed recently and you now get free golden packs after buying 10 of the latest main set (e.g. buying 'March of the Machine' with gold. 'Aftermath' also contributes to golden packs but is a supplemental set so not as good), but the rest of the following guide should still have useful info:

Mtgazone is a good site for guides and decklists for various formats, so is worth bookmarking.

You can't. Netdeck or lose.

The color challenges are tutorials. They are not for PVPing.

If you've unlocked all the play modes then just use an existing dual-color starter deck, or modify one, or make your own deck (go to Decks and click on the huge + symbol), and then select 'Standard Play' after clicking the Play button.

choose the correct format. every format has rules and allowed sets. Historic format is the one that lets you use any card/deck. all the other formats have limitations.

you are asked what format your deck will be when you create it. just double check the format your deck is in.
