You should take all your blue cards and put them in one deck. then add 200 islands. You'll be fine. :D jk, do what Epoch said, then we can all suggest stuff.

The colored names are for upgraded users. You can upgrade your account for $5 at the Extras page (link above the TappedOut logo) and it comes with some feature tokens for putting your deck on the main page's feature spot.

Given what a limited selection of cards you have, it will probably be difficult to get a cohesive, strong deck together. You might want to look at buying an intro deck or some cheap singles to give yourself more options.
A blue/white control deck might work. Include your counterspells, Dungeon Geists, and some Oblivion Rings if you can get them. Bant control might also be an option so you have Thrun, the Last Troll and Naturalize as support.

Here is what I would do if I was you. I would do some booster drafts, using a mix of booster packs from different standard sets.
Then I would draft the better to best rares, uncommons.Then I would I would buy 1 or 2 fat packs, 1 deck builders toolbox. 1 or 2 intro starter decks.
Then I would read deck building articles. Then I would look through tapped out's online database of cards. I would then use those cards, in tapped outs database of standard legal cards, to build a deck, whether I owned those cards or not.
Once I had finished building the deck, I would check to see if I owned any of the cards in the deck. Then I would try to trade cards for the cards, I needed for the deck, but didn't own yet.
Then I would buy card singles of cards, that I needed for the deck, but didn't own yet, that I wasn't able to trade for.

Be aware that control is somewhat difficult to play, especially if you are new to the game. Given your current card pool, it seems to be the best deck you can build, though.

I would tend to agree with these guys. The cards you've put up are kind of hard to work with right now. Control does seem to be your best option, but is very challenging to play as a new player and can be frustrating. You do have Grave Titan which lends itself easily to be the center of a deck. Though you don't seem to have a lot of support for it. If you pick up an intro deck though you could probably get a few support cards for it, helping you to build a pretty decent deck. Even a deck that has both Dungeon Geists and Grave Titan could be an interesting build. The intro pack relentless dead, may help you in getting you started.

Ok thanks guys but what do i do just throw all my counter spells like Cancel and stuff like that and get a few Dungeon Geists and Oblivion Rings to build a Control or....?? lol im not very new to the game im just new to deck building!

Control usually focuses on doing two things. First, it controls the board state in the early game by using counterspells and removal spells like Mana Leak, Dissipate, Day of Judgment, and Oblivion Ring. Then, once the board is clear it begins to play its own creatures so it can attack with little opposition. Typical creatures for a control deck include Grave Titan and Wurmcoil Engine for the power and utility they have and Dungeon Geists and Phantasmal Image for the flexibility they give you in responding to threats (Image kills legendary hexproof creatures like Thrun, the Last Troll and Geist of Saint Traft).
Dig spells like Ponder are also critical because they allow you to change your topdeck so it's more suited to the situation you're facing in the game.

Go to your profile and add a list of all the cards you have (the list option is below your user stats box). That way it'll be easier to analyze what you have and give you suggestions from there.
