key cards a beginner should know (self.mtg)

I'm very new to mtg and have only been playing arena a little, but I've ordered some physical decks. I was wondering if there were some famous cards that a beginner should know? For any reason really, gameplay, lore, etc.

Thanks in advance!

PS. is there anything like the Reddit bot that fetches the cards here?

So I asked for something like this a week ago on Reddit and just got downvoted and told it didn't exist (but I knew it must!) So thank you very much, if I could upvote you more than once I would!

No problem! There's a lot of card effects so it can be hard to keep track of, or even categorize sometimes. Don't worry about memorizing cards if it gets in the way of having fun - if playing physical paper MTG, most people are reasonable enough to explain what their cards do if you ask!

The best way learn things is to build the deck you want and have fun playing with other people, and to see cool stuff people are doing.
