What's your favorite type of deck to play?
 

In magic there are infinite decks, but they all fall under a few categories. What's your favorite?

Back when i used to play i had, i guess it was essentially a control deck, that was a Green/White combo. I focused on stopping my opponents turns and giving myself a ton of LP's.

Blinding Angel remains my favorite card to this day :)

My green deck consists of elves and other really strong guys. a few Priest of Titania's take care of my mana early in the game, and I usually have around 10 creatures out by the 4th turn. I power them up with instants like giant growth, give 'em trample, and wrap up the game

I play a sliver deck, so Im a fast/weenie guy.

Only been beaten by control decks... slivers are dangerous mofos

back in the day when i used to play, i had a red/white creatureless deck (sans those dumbass COP's) that was incredible, and for those stubborn people that thought i was 'cheap' for not using creatures, a black/green 'deck o death'

you must have a queen, numist. ;)

black, black black as my heart is the key! ;) I LOVE the hippies & the Abyssal specters and the bookworms and the bottomless pits. *grin* esp when I have a library of lang, and hopefully some card-drawing ;) Geths Grimore will be a great addition to my deck. :)

Heh, im basing my vote off Yugioh
Since it's really similar to magic, my strategies carry over very well..
Combo of effect/ magic cards plus your basic beatdown monsters with enhancements..

Red..Black...destroy!

Red/Green - Elves, Wild Growths, plus a few 4/4s and a couple of heavies, with some fireballs and maybe a stream of life. Mana production is where it's at.

My brother used to enjoy forking his timewalk, then beating the shit out of me.

Bastard.

aggro, when I played, my favorite decks were red burn and green stompy. Lots of bolts, ball lightnings, shocks, and moggs. And lots of forests, pouncing tigers, wild dogs, overruns, giant growths, rancors and might of oaks. hmm, 17/15 pouncing tigers with trample.... yumm.

Oh, and landkill in the red as well, pillages and wastelands.

My favorite deck type would have to be red burn. I miss the days when I could do the following all in one turn:

Incinerate
Incinerate
Fire Blast
Fire Blast

Sigh, good times.

illusions + donate

I loved making lock down decks back in the day. Fun times.

burn deck


good luck with getting out your cop


o and the kicker


ali form cario

so long as he is in play you can not fall below one hit point

My two favorite decks were a 5-colour speed deck and a Kudzu deck, which started as Green-Blue, but ended up becoming 5 color for stuff like Demonic Tutor, Balance, Land Tax and Land's Edge. Nobody thought it would work, but the only decks I couldn't beat were decks with all the moxes and high-end cards like that (no land = no landkill)
The basic strategy was to enchant my opponent's land with Kudzu, when either they tappped the land or I tapped it for them with an Icy Manipulator, they chose a new target for Kudzu, usually one of my lands, I'd use something like Enchantment Alteration to move it back to thier side.
Although I kept a minimum of land in play, I could usually get a Force of Nature or Lord of the Pit out, only to Juxtapose him over to my opponent, as long as they couldn't pay the 4 Green or 1 creature upkeep. It was a pretty sick deck considering it was built around the biggest disappointment that you could get when you opened a pack of Revised edition cards.

Yup, donate and grandure with a big ol' heaping of counterspells.

I saw that someone posted something in relation to yugioh, and in playing both, i am not sure you can compare them. I have not figured out which one takes more strategy becuase in magic, you have the mana issue, where in yugioh, you do not, but it does seem that in yugioh, you have to work fast becuase keeping monsters on the field is alot harder, and are not able to take the attack to save your monsters. Meh, but a blue and white deck usually worked for me
