Modern Advice
Focus on one deck. Learn it in side and out and then learn what the other decks are trying to do so you know how they work and how to beat them.
Biggest Mistake Players Make
Sequencing fetch lands and shock lands incorrectly against a burn deck. Too many players don't understand that every point of damage matters and they are careless when shocking themselves. Burn will punish you for that.
How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event
Practice on Magic Online, be part of several groups and borrow cards you don't have.

Start playing with friends and if you like Magic you can move up to a new group if your friends only want to play for fun.
