Title: What should I make?
Post by: Mlerner12 on November 03, 2013, 09:39:22 PM
So I just realized I don't have any standard deck! I don't really know what to make though!
So I wanted to ask you guys what I should make. The only things I don't want to do are:
-Aggro (too straightforward)
-Combo (in standard all combo decks are way too weak IMO)

So yeah. Help?

IMO I like BWR midrange, BW midrange, esper control and GR monsters. Those are fun (for me atleast)

I like to find a card that I really like, and then find a deck for it. Or just make a weird tribal deck. Or a mazes end deck.  ;) What's your favorite card in standard? Maybe you could figure that out, then either build a deck around it or with it.

Thanks for suggestions, I just don't like Aggro. I'll probably make a Maze's Ebd deck.

It'd revolve around {Prophet of Kruphox} and that's like $1.50. And then maybe throw in some ramp like mystics or caryatids and then {Primeval Boutny} and {Sylvan Primordial} all of which except for Carytaid are pretty cheap

No problem! (Also maybe add some counter magic in there)
Title: Re: What should I make?
Post by: Mlerner12 on November 12, 2013, 06:19:23 PM
So I'm thinking {G}{U} midrange/flash or {W}{U}{R} skies. Which is better on a budget?
Title: Re: What should I make?
Post by: Mattao19 on November 12, 2013, 06:22:45 PM
I'd say GU bc Murica eventually you're going to want Verdicts and Sphinx

Build a Red/Black Aggro. It's cheap and it kicks Esper's tush.

I don't like mindless Aggro like that :-\ I'm very picky, and don't you know it.

It's not mindless o_O At least mine isn't.

But I guess that's just the chaotic side of me talking :)

Nevertheless, if you're building to compete, then U/G isn't the way to go. American maybe, depending on the meta where you play.

Heavy control/tokens.

I'm honestly not sure :(

I would totes go with American. At least then, even if you can't afford {Sphinx's Revelation}, you can still use fun stuff like {Detention Sphere} (so much yes!) and {Ethereal Armor}.

Then what about Bant auras? Run the scout, favored hoplite etc and beat them to death haha. Aqueous form gets ya through and counts toward ethereal armor. Not too mindless.

Run all the gates and then any card that prevents damage. I.E.  {Druid's Deliverance} {fog} etc. and just win by grabbing all the gates.
