The Salvationer is probably right. Buying intro decks (not the best value and often not the best basic ideas for the pool) is expensive and inefficient. EDH may be more up their alley. There's much less standard flexibility considering that the simpler builds usually have to do with cranking out a fast win and you're probably not going to get there via intro packs but rather digging through commons and uncommons more to assemble large numbers of effective low cmc cards. EDH tends to be slower on average which is a more forgiving playground usually.
But if you want to do standard, I suggest looking at UW heroic. I think the play in practice is much more straightforward than boss sligh. It looks something like this. Simplified anyway. I'm not bothering to deal with the kinds that play pilgrim and whatnot. They're fine too but its an unnecessary complication for one just learning.
Lands vary upon budget. If you never see a crackling doom, you can skip the stubborn denials for other things. If you see too much thoughtseize/despise, you might want to add a 16th heroic creature.
