If I ever get another deck, a "Make it so your opponent can't untap" deck would be fun. Those can really suck for your opponent.


That's my deck. Ah, alternate mana sources, I do love thee.

The Radkos guild presents an interesting strategy. Instead of the usual, more conservative technique, it encourages you to play out your hand, and using hellbent, rewards you for doing so.

It's different, and I kind of like it. It's reckless, but so far, it's worked out for me pretty well. It actually seems to make it so that I can do a LOT more things than normal in one turn.

I also saw some Time Spiral stuff. As in, an entire set list. The slivers look okay, but they're missing a ton of old slivers, that really need to be remade for a decent sliver deck. There's a cool new effect, Split Second, which prevents any other effects or spells from happening when that card is on the stack. Thusly, the card can not be countered. It's pretty sweet.

A card that really stood out to me was Stuffy Doll. 0/1 Artifact Creature. When it comes in to play, choose a player. Stuffy Doll is indestructible. Whenever damage is dealt to it, that much damage is dealt to the chosen player. And you can tap to make stuffy dolldeal one damage to itself. All this for only 5 colorless mana. It's pretty cool.

Time Spiral looks like a sweet set. I just hope they remake some of the vital slivers (Muscle Sliver, Winged Sliver, Quick Sliver, etc.) for the Sliver premade deck. It wouldn't be the same without them...

Well, I've kept my old Orzhov Deck, and I've tried my hand at a creatures-oriented Boros deck, which works alright so far. I'm also working on a Simic deck, but I'm gonna need more cards from Dissension before I try that at Friday Night Magic.

I was also at my local game shop's Time Spiral release tournament. Never tried Sealed Deck before, it was pretty interesting. The new cards look cool, and I think I see a few I might wanna get.

I'm so making that Sliver deck now. Without a doubt. Slivers just rawk the house. No doubt. Heck yes.

I jsut picked up a Coldsnap deck last night at WalMart--it's a blue/black one called Snowscape. So now I have that in addition to the other decks I've purchased ("Code of the Orzhov" black/white from Guildpact and "Spirit Flames" red/green from Saviors of Kamigawa), as well as the few hundred cards one of my frat brothers gave to me before I graduated (mostly reds and greens from older editions, as well as a good number of the rest of the color spectrum...but no blue mana for the blue cards he gave me! And now I finally have blue mana!). Hehe--now I just need people to play. :-P

Got MSN? We could do an over-the-web-chat game. I've even got a webcame to prove I'm not cheating. XD

I've got a webcam, too (is how I made my avatar...muahaha). I'm downloading the free trial version of Magic Online right now, too.

Well, I found a Blue White Dissension Deck just lying on the ground when walking to class. I picked it up - if I didn't, someone else would - and I'm looking around during recess to see if anyone mentions that they lost some decks (There was another one there, too, my friend took that one). If no one claims it, looks like it's mine. it's a defender forecast flying deck (Flyers being the attackers, unrelated to the defenders) and it's OK. INot as good as my Aurochs Direct Damage Deck. I'll need to customize it a bit more.

I've been playing my friend a bit, he has a white soldier deck, and it's making me realize that white is defenitely better than it looks. A white and Blue deck would be fun - it's too bad that the white and blue deck I found goes in almost a completely different direction than what I'm looking for. The only thing it has that I want in my ideal white and blue deck is things that can tap and untap other things.

I had a white-blue deck once. It wasn't bad, and it had some annoying combos, but it had no underlying win strategy. So, unfortunately, it never really won. I'm working on a new rainbow Sliver deck now--mm, mm, Slivers!

White-blue deck, eh? My deck, which I've never played with due to a lack of other MTG players near me, is a Black-Red. I like their spells.

Yeah, I've got a Soldier/Equipment deck. I love it. I got some good cards, espesially.


Just to name a few, it is a good deck.

Woah, those are some good cards. My friend doesn't have any of those, but he does have four field marshals, which rally destroy my deck (My deck's biggest weakness is first strike, since it's a trample based deck). He's been getting two or three per game now that I convinced him to take the blue cards out of his deck. It's not a great deck against other people though, he needs to put more thought into it. No idea how he got four of those things, though.
