Favorite creature type? - MTGCombos.com

I've always loved Dragons, but I don't play them as much because they aren't that user friendly. I think Nicol Bolas kinda changed that because he's a planeswalker so basically you can play Nicol and whatever deck you play, as long as it's black/red/blue, works.

I usually don't play many creature heavy decks so it would be tough to say by looking at my builds.

A good old leper or maybe a cockatrice or a lammassu or riggers, contration decks are the best.

For me, it's always been Merfolk! The reason I like them so much is because they've been around since the beginning and they are very versatile.

No deck is complete without an Ornithopter!

Date Posted: Sat Jul/23/11 at 2:06pm

I never use omnithropter, never saw much use for it, I tend to find that it isn't worth the card

As for myrs, I hate them, I made a myr deck in literly twenty-minutes, without refining it I went on a five game winning streak.

Decks should never be that simple to make, my deck should have sucked. My minotaur deck which I poured hours of sweat and blood into isn't half as good, but I love my minotaurs because of how much time I put into it.

The things you post are barely considered combos. Mana ramp into a Hydra or Hellkite does not a combo make.

My original deck was Kithkins. It was horrible. My second deck was Esper and it was l33t.

It utilized some awesome combat manipulation with Thopter Foundry. Of course, Wizards decided to be all cool and take out the stack in combat damage.

original deck I had was goblins, after learning to play the game I revamped it and made a pretty decent deck, but due to the new cards which I didn't had, it never did hit competition standards. My first good deck was an organ grinder deck, which is so much fun to play, then I made a merfolk deck which was beastly against everyone I played against, though once again doesn't compare to modern merfolk.

The type of creature that have the system of combat that i most like are the elves, but not the the boring "tokens, tokens, tokens, wellwisher, wellwisher, llanowar, llanowar....". I like a more aggro elven deck, using 4 copies of Natural Order with big fatties, draw card engine and tutoring.

But the type that i most like, despiting effects, power, etc, are the WURMS. Man, the art of them is the most brutal and craziest in my opinion:

Demons. My deck is about 60 percent mana/land and the rest is literally nothing but Demons, a Witch's Familiar (my trusted servant, he's always in my deck) and 1 Gargoyle. Nothing else. It does pretty well against a Hydra deck and Sea Creatures deck, both full of Blue control and extremely powerful creatures.

A point most fair Twogunkid...I had forgotten to change it over...once I moved on to other armies in 40k I found a wargame insanely unbalanced in 40k...space marines were to damn strong...so I made my own that I'll be publishing someday soon... Also still waiting on another phyrexian set for mtg...

Turns out Dragons & Asians don't trip my trigger...sadly enough...

Started playing yugioh again...just to ease my lack of phyrexian goodness...

(Evilswarm monsters = phyrexians...in space!!!! :D)
