Title: Deck building
Post by: MisterJH on February 23, 2013, 12:57:44 PM
How do you go about building decks? Personally i find every possible card i might ever want(just did this with standard battalion, 81 different cards -.-) and then cut accordingly in rounds.. This takes forever and seems to be quite inefficient, what methods do you use?

I start by finding a few key cards and different strategies. Then I add support cards around that. Then I playset and refine, and find other ways to use what I have

I buy pack or random cards and think what will work well to gather then think about it for months and maybe build one deck.

Look at a single card that you know is good and try to make it better with the support of other cards

I prefer to start with a theme or synergy/combo of cards, and build around it to make the synergy most effective.

It's so hard for me to deck build. I used to play competitive yugioh and I could make incredible decks, yet with magic I just struggle. I think I've lost my creativity.

I try to make my decks fun to play with. Find something you like about magic and put it in the deck. Let me say im a terrible deck builder because i like having fun. But it is really funny when i go to sealed tournaments and go 0-5 :) but sometimes i go 4-1 3-2 5-0 but that is me :P
