In terms of deck building, Magic is more of a team sport, but coming up with the optimal deck is pretty close to optimal.

where does the team play come into effect? for a pro are they able to acquire any card magic has made or are some cards extremely rare and nearly impossible to come across yet very powerful.

There are like 6,000 cards. You need to put 60 of those together to come up with a deck. There is no best card that will go in every deck. Decks need syngergy, and they need to be able to win against the other popular decks.

There's often a rock scissors paper type thing. Deck A beats deck B. Deck B beats deck C. Deck C beats deck A.
You need to find a deck D that can beat 2 of those 3 decks to have an edge. This is not an easy task. It's also a lot more complicated than I'm making it out to be.
