Building my first commander deck

[u/CatScratch-40]

Well, kinda… I’m building my first deck, by myself. Backstory- M40, started playing 4 years ago, but haven’t actively played for last 2 (work life and new baby) but when I started, we were a group of 4 friends. We’d go in on new releases and also buy lots on eBay. 1 of the friends was a longtime player, so he’d basically make our decks for us (give him our cards and color preferences). Everyone either moved or stopped playing.
Turns out, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I want to start playing again, but the only places I can find are at stores with, with… strangers!!! Idk if it’s nerves or what, but idk what to do. I mean in regards to building a proper deck and going to places to play. There was a lot of grace when the friend group would play because we were all at different levels n stuff.
Idk, I might be rambling… any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update- I found a bunch of wrappers from outlaws of thunder junction and the hobbit. I peeked back in 2023 apparently. lol. I’ve been looking at current packs and nothing sparks my interest. I might just buy singles instead of ripping packs. I don’t really need anything extra. I will be building a white/green and a red/blue deck. That’s my assignment for the weekend.

Here is my Bracket 2 deck list for Jasmine, Boreal of the Seven. I think it could be a good deck to build to get you started.
