After quitting magic after high school I recently started playing again after being out of school for a year.back in school I played a white deck focusing on strategy and it really wasn't working,now I'm playing fire/forest and I love it!it is so much better and more my style I love the fat paced action I get from red while I use green for defense and big creature so what's your deck/strategy and why?

My default in any format is esper control. I have played more of it than anything else and though I try hard to branch and make new and exciding things every few months have find myself back in a control build. Atleast theyre always my own list.

I play esper because I am patient. I love waiting long enough to see what my opponent is trying to do. I do this for two reasons. One, i love seeing new decks and getting new ideas. Two, this helps me decide how I can best play game two by exploiting whatever weaknesses I found over the long and gruelling game one.

Esper is best at this because black and white have amazing pinpoint and mass answers respectively while blue draws me enough cards to see those answers while countering what I otherwise cant easily answer.

That's sounds like an awesome strategy as far as I know my strategy in magic is called aggro

I don't know the name for it but I love mono colors and longer lasting battles so I build my decks to survive then dominate!! And I've had much more fun playing this way then I did going aggro!

It comes to like rpg and things like that I feel the best going in kicking ass and coming out safe alot of people seem to use blue and I've taken quizzes and they say I should go blue,I'm wondering if I should go blue red

I love shenanigans anything that's unexpected or skrew with my opponent.

Killing off creatures and draining life appeal to me. I run a red/ black vampire deck with a lot of removal spells that gain me life while draining theirs. Been slowly improving it since I've found the game.
