Magic: The Gathering

[Incredirobotwars]

What decks do you play? My current's a U/B Mill deck. Modern, not Standard, because I can't bear to replace Nemesis of Reason.

[Naryar]

played magic way back then, dunno even where my cards are...

i prefered Red (obviously enough) though Blue was fine as well.

[Incredirobotwars]

I find the Red/White multicolours from Ravnica block are amazing, but a lot of stuff from Return to Ravnica is amazing, anyway. Better than the Theros block has been.

Mono Color CONTROL

I have 1 or more control decks for every color.  Screw letting my opponent do anything.  Just sit there and do nothing while I play my solitaire.

[Incredirobotwars]

Need to put more control into my Mill. Put me on the upper hand for when I can finally get my gods and planeswalkers out and mill their entire decks. Phenax is so damn useful when used with Wall of Frosts.

how do you control with red or green... blue or black i would maybe understand but

[Incredirobotwars]

Elves tend to be good for green control. Especially with mana ramping to get out a Craterhoof, or the like.

Edit: Also green has

What about Standard, though?

[123savethewhales]

What about it?  I haven't touch MTG for like 10 years.

[Incredirobotwars]

It's completely different, that's 'What about it'.

[123savethewhales]

Yeah, it's all about those ultra rares God cards now that cost mad money.

MTG was always expensive, but the new rarity is pure money grab.

[Incredirobotwars]

Me and my mate did a trade the other day, about 10 cards each. We figured out the cost of the cards we traded at about £50, which for a few rares in Standard is pretty high.

[Naryar]

yeah, i'm in the same case as 123... last magic game I had... can't even remember it.

also that Winter Orb looks just overpowered for only 2 mana... Nevinyrral's Disk is also quite powerful i though armageddon style cards cost more like 7 ? alright you have one turn to prevent but if you don't have a counterspell or an artifact breaking ability you are so dead.
