    60 cards is the minimum size in constructed magic, and is probably the size you want to stick with. In limited (drafts and sealed) the minimum size is 40.

    So if there's no maximum, why should I stick with 60? I'm building a deck and there's already many creatures that I like and want to put in there, do I want to build a bigger deck so I can put in all the cool creatures I want to use?

    If you have too many cards in your deck, you have less control over what you will draw. Let's say you build a deck with 1,000 cards. Your probability to pull any certain card is 1 in 1,000. close to random. But if you have 60 cards, you know better what cards you might draw and you can plan your game better.

    I also when I started playing Magic I wanted to put all my cards in the deck because all of them were "cool" but I learned that that's not the way to go if you want more strategy.

    I would recommend you keep your decks at 60. Limiting your decks to 60 will also help you think more about strategy and what cards to use.
