What is your deck and why do you use it?

Eskimo Quinn! It's a mono white legacy control deck that uses snow lands! It locks out the opponent and makes you unkilllable, then slowly draws or fetched into the deadly combo of {Grindstone} + {Painter's Servant}!

Snow would be so cool to find!

I don't get snow lands. Can somebody help?

{Sphinx's Revelation} because I believe it to be the best card to stop creatures turning sideways, stabilize and perhaps win a game against aggro.

Snow is a supertype just like basic and legendary.

Some cards have special interactions with snow permanents (there were snow creatures artifacts and enchantments as well) in addition mana produced by any snow permanent can also be used to pay special snow costs e.g. {rimescale dragon}. Essentially it means having the right colors to cast spells, but being able to spend flexibly from snow mana to bring out their fullest effect.

Standard: White/Blue Weenie
Modern: Blue Tron, Bant Walker Fog (in the works)
EDH: {Thraximundar}, {Obzedat, Ghost Council} (in the works)

Standard: I built white weenie thinking it'd be a cheap standard deck to throw together for free Wednesday standard events. It ended up being not so cheap, but a lot of fun to play!  I love counting out huge numbers with enchantments on a buffed {Champion of the Parish}, then doubling it with {Silverblade Paladin}/{Ajani, Caller of the Pride} :D

Modern: Tron- I've always loved {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}, and I started with mono green drazi ramp. Then I decided to pick up playsets of the tron lands. Man did that start something!. Now I'm sitting on a blue tron deck that gives loads of love to {Wurmcoil Engine} and {Mindslaver}.
Fog- I love playing fog. Seein my opponent getting more and more pissed as the game progresses is hilarious, and cruel. I'm running a PW fog simply because the traditional wait-and-let-your-opponent-draw-to-death strategy is a little too grueling. I like shipping {Elspeth, Knight Errant} or {Gideon Jura} out to eventually end the game. This deck isn't finished yet, but this is probably the third or fourth iteration ofnit I've made. Lots of fun.

I was talking Standard. Historically, {Quicksilver Dragon}. I always felt that was the strongest creature EVER at the kitchen table. It's {U} ability made it unkillable at the time. I put him in all of my kitchen table decks. We've formed a significant bond over the years, and I remember cracking one and felt what power it could bring any deck I made.

It was a far cry from cracking a {Boros Reckoner} and thinking "Well if I only had 3 more..."

My thing is reanimator. Ever since i started. My first deck was an infect reanimator, then a 4c glory's rise reanimator, then a junk reanimator.

Now i'm building the 4c pyre reanimator ;-)

I play this type mainly for the fact that i hate control with a burning passion. Counter the main card of my deck, and i can just bring it back again and again.

Past that i do some midrange things that include rg now (naya, jund, and just gruul midrange)
The reason for that is the same as my reanimator, i hate control.
Dropping a ruric thar and watching them try to do a lingering souls or a think twice just makes me happy.


All in all, i just hate control, so every deck i will ever make will be to ruin it. Spike player type ftw

Nice. And to quote Ruric Thar,
"Not Gruul, then die!" The wise words that ultimately just destroy control lol

For example, my deck uses them with {Scrying Sheets} to generate card advantage.

USA burn control is great-- Relentless damage while building a small army {Talrand, Sky Sommonet} {Nivmagus Elemental} etc) and denying them the pleasure of, I dunno, {Avacyn, Angel of Hope}? It is just awesome.
