This is an excellent outline for beginners.  As you play more, and your collection grows, you will notice where your deck's strengths and weaknesses are, and will be able to modify it as necessary.

 

One thing that should be noticed about this deck outline is that there are only 2 brigades of heroes, and 2 brigades of evil characters.  One of the most common mistakes beginners make is trying to play too many brigades.  Limiting yourself to 2 or 3 brigades for heroes is wise, even for the very best players.  Unless you plan to use very few evil enhancements, and rely on the characters alone, you should not use more than 2 brigades for evil.  In fact, as your collection grows, you should be able to use only one brigade for evil, which I almost always recommend.
