Oh, I meant when I first started playing, my cousin taught me how to play.

I never really caught onto anything besides mono-color decks. I got to discouraged about never having the right special lands.

[Mizeria]

its rare i use special lands honestly.
I like the basic ones.
and the artifacts that give more land...
or the creatures that come out and you can search your deck for more basic lands...
it just always fit into my plans better to stick with basics.

[Airina]

Yeah that makes sense. I just need to figure it out a little more.

[Mizeria]

figure out what?
we'll help as much as possible

[Airina]

Figure out how to build a deck that you guys wont hate playing with. and also figure out how to play with anyone.....

[Mizeria]

you can play over skype? vid chats... with ren

and a good deck is a deck no one wants to play
^^;

[Airina]

I guess. and its difficult with my mother to be on my computer....

[Mizeria]

right, i keep forgetting about that...

making decks is a try and try again concept.
it gets easier
soon enough you'll notice the cards that have to point and the cards that would go good in decks

[Airina]

Yeah I understand that part of it. I think.

My favorite deck is actually one I just sort of threw together as I kept acquiring black cards I thought were cool. Ended up with a sort of jack of all trades deck with some really nasty big creatures with a few ways of cheating them out, some solid removal, some mana acceleration.

It's the funnest to play with for me, because all my other decks, I made a list and just bought the cards off of ebay. They just sort of... sit around. Even though they're good, they're not that fun to play.

[Airina]

Ahhh that makes sense I guess. I found the closest store to me that sells magic. I went in to look around and it was this little hole in the wall that smelled like buttered popcorn.

[hyjin]

ZOMG i just noticed this here.
*subs to thread*

[Airina]

Thanks hyjin! *hugs* so what kind of deck do you like?

[hyjin]

i have only one... white humans... or what my friends call it white weenies...

[Airina]

Lol that's cool though!

I have both a white Knights and white Soldiers deck. While the Soldiers tend to get higher numbers overall, the Knights get indestructible thanks to the Exemplar, and Mirran Crusader is just awesome.

My cousin has a white Samurai deck, but it doesn't hold up to either of mine. Samurai don't seem to synergize quite as well it seems like.

My favorite part of decks like that, though, is how they pretty much always have something to play and I never get stuck holding onto situational or high-cost cards.
