Title: It had to be asked (Deck Types)

Hello one and all, and welcome to another edition of It had to be asked...the question this time is...

What deck type do you favor and why?

My personal fave is red/black discard...because...I have an obsession with a jester in red and black who breaks peoples' minds... ^^

(Please note, this isn't about what deck is the best...so please don't go into a rage war over which deck type is better, this is merely about what deck type you favor, not a pissing contest (Both metaphorically and literally...though in the literal terms I think I could outpiss quite a lot of people...so suck on that R.Kelly!)...)

This isn't as specific but i like combo decks over aggro and control.  infinite combos are the most fun.

AGGRO!

Assuming that combo isn't a deck type.

I'm bad.  I like seeing other people's stuff.  Mostly because you can usually create a deck in the metagame that whatever is currently out there is weak too and basically exploit your way to the top. lol

But if I'm going to just make a deck then blue/black used to be my thing (like Lin), but with Jace coming out I've been asking myself why I haven't paid more attention to white which has so much more in the control department, but black is also so powerful and optioned (discard) that I always come back to it. 

I like winning other than depleting my opponent's life.  Stasis/Time Elemental/Kismet (see white! argh) was a combo that was made for me.  I used to use Winter Orb/Icy Manipulator/Counterspells and lock so hard that my opponent would just give up and instead of playing 2 or 3 rounds in a tournament they had already quit by the end of the first round.

So I guess Concede decks are my deck of choice.

@darth
You and I played some very similar decks. lol.


Umm, favorite is a hard thing for me because i will play all colors pretty evenly. I would say draw is a major element to any deck i play with usually means i tend to play blue.

However, If i have to pick a deck type i'd say broken decks. Nothing makes me happier than taking a deck concept that isn't working and find an way to make it work. (Usually by add draw) My favorite of these is the dual land deck with all colors and only multicolor cards. It's just a hard deck to get to work consistantly.

@ Lin & darth

My standard deck is blue/black control. I placed 4th with it last night. I was playing a friendly game after the tournamentand rather than win thriough my normal methods, I played 2 Haunting Echoes and made him deck out.

But I would have to say my favorite decktype is aggro. I just love killing my opponent with creatures.

@ Darth and Rav - I love the multicolor decks!

I play all types of decks, from aggro to control, WTF to burn, all pretty evenly. If I had to say that there is any common thread in my decks, is that it has to be fun (not necessarily great at winning or combos) for me to play.
