You guys are just jealous that you don't have an eggs deck.
lol far from it.

It just sucks the fun out of the game. It takes too long to play and it defeats the point of it being a game IMO. I'd have more fun smacking my head on the table then watching someone take their turn playing eggs.

I played stasis back in the ice age or mirage block. People hated it. Every turn they play a land and pass... While I try to win with a mishras factory. Now I really like white blue and esper.

As for my own decks that I play, I play many and it depends on the format.

Classically I always play my mono black control. Have loved MBC since it held a stronghold on the game years ago. It's a shadow of itself nowadays, but I will never give it up :)

I play Infect in both modern and legacy. I have more fun with the legacy version because people dont expect it as much and it gives me access to a greater variety of cards to help the deck instead of just being aggroish. I'll run control cards in both u/b to give me the ability to win in a format where it winning early is the game.

I also run a mono red goblin deck in legacy thats more fun casually. Always fun to {fireblast) your opponent and {reverberate} or {fork} it. 8 damage for 2? I'll take it.

Also have an Enchantress deck for legacy. Once it goes off and locks your opponent, they cant do a thing.

Working on a u/w tax rack deck in legacy that controls my opponent until I can either have my Jace go off or use my {Goblin Charbelcher} to belch them to death!

Was running a u/b mill legacy deck for fun, but currently it's more control using {Phyrexian Obliterator} or Jace to win. Thinking about trying to make it a u/b delver deck. Dont see much like that.

My EDH is currently reanimator and looking to build a control u/w {Grand Arbiter Augustin IV} deck of sorts.

Currently, dont have a standard deck. Was play u/r delver for awhile, but got tired of it and haven't figured out what I want to do now.

Working on a b/r red deck wins for modern.

All in all, I love control type decks for the most part, but have fun running things like burn or infect here and there.

Standard: Esper self mill reanimator, with {psychic spiral}/{duskmantle guildmage} as an alt win con. With the SB, it transforms into control self mill with {runechanter's pike} strapped to unblockable creatures. It certainly isn't tier one material but all those decks are boring in my opinion. I don't compete enough to really care about placing at an FNM.

Legacy/Casual: Dredge, UB reanimator, and grixis {fireball} deck via infinite mana combo.

Pauper: My format of choice. UR delverfiend, UG infect, RW control, and UB reanimator.

I bet no one can guess what my favorite archetype is.

For now I just play with a few friends but by next year I'm hoping to start competing at atleast FNM games

Justinrevenant

What are your guys themes???im currently running goblin with giant green creatures and a few rangers would like to get rid of the rangers and add something more goblin friendly

Justinrevenant

If he's a cool cucumber kind of guy that's just playing for fun the annoyance strategy wouldn't work

I used to play religiously Red Deck Wins decks, but in the last 2 weeks I've had an epiphany; and built naya blitz for modern.

I'm currently on my way towards getting a Naya Midrange deck together, since I just sold all my standard cards for  {Verdant Catacombs}.
Wins deck?is that a strategy or you mean just decks that can win

Mono red aggro with a low curve is called RDW (red deck wins).

Justinrevenant

Wow!just looked up red wins deck and I'm highly considering changing my red green to that!!

JustAWalrus

I play red deck wins, when the sets rotate my theme will be mono red midrange with dragons and anti control
