Deck Vs Deck

[Neids]

Just a random thing I'm about to do. Was wondering if any of you guys or girls out the on IMTG play themselves using your own decks?

[adventus]

Of course we do 😝

[Mikefrompluto]

All day, everyday hahah.

[Quisequise]

Have to to figure out deck mechanics

[Bozo_Law]

Yes.

[Kaleo42]

Yup, usually on cockatrice though. Ill often "dry play" my deck though to get a feel for what is a keepable hand.

Dry play: no opponent, 4-8 turns or play over and over to see how it should usually run.

I used to but I realized it was counter productive because I would always like one deck better than the other and then purposely play the non favorite deck badly so it would lose -.-

I love  seein the strengths between decks, seeing combos in decks come to life.

{Charmbreaker Devils} really showed their awesomeness when I tested them in my land destro deck.  {Stone Rain} coming back every hand!

Sometimes a deck loses badly and I wonder what happened, but then you have to look at your other deck that won and compliment yourself on how well it was constructed 😂🎉

When I build a new deck, I'll put it up against myself and my other decks as a sort of alpha test to see if it's viable enough to go up against people or if it was just a terrible idea.

I do this too!! 

However, I'll go on Cockatrice and play about 4-5 turns for a few games and see how the new deck draws.  If it consistently gets bad hands, I just take it bak to the drawing board.  I'll do that up until I think I've got the deck about where I want it and go online and test against others :)

Using sample draws in imtg's deck builder is helpful too...in a similar way...What would I do with this openning hand?  Etc.
