Keiran its a good idea for the blue/ white deck but personally i'd change it to blue/ white/ green. the idea is first with blue and white you can get out lots of little flyers to deal some decent damage then deal the final blow with 5/5 or 6/6 giant green creatures!
hope this helps if not just try it a bit see if it works

if u want to make a gd deck an learn magic properly don't use yugioh tactics of get the biggest and baddest the goblin and elf decks in magic are prime example of teh biggest and best DON'T work as well in magic unless u have played for while an know what ur doing. magic works of the base of using EVERY rareity but the common usualy make the core.
I found it great fun I am mplaying a singal land deck the Bluue starter and all the monsters are flying types I think I will starting and making a 2 land deck a plains/island any good boster for pplains
starting with one colour is great way to start gives u a nice feel for the game. best boosters for any colour is always the edition sets (currently on 10th but 11th comes out soon). as these sets have all the old school sets and there legal cards. other then that its a case of get the different sets collected as unlike yugioh magic are very evil in that they put cards in sets that later down the line are VERY useful. plus trade values for some band cards some times get very hard EG black lotus.
but yeah keep with one colour an when ur read go to two and develop ur skills with magic ur OWN way as were all either shacking off the rust or learning from scratch. an magic is very gd for providing lots of different varietes of decks to make so experiment n get collecting.
ps buy BOXES in magic there pretty much the WHOLE set in the box + doubles
