What is your deck and why do you use it?

I really like a dimir set up or a mono white deck set up I find that being able to regenerate health and have a fleet of tokens at your finger tips works for me in the case of the mono white deck and dimir is well dimir

Izzet all the way. Red for attack and creatures, while at the same time my blue keeps my enemies where I want them and foils their plans. opposites attract? works for me :)

You can check out my mono black deck I was running up until really recently in articles (The MBC Heartless)

I generally stay away from the tier 1 decks, and like to push the format by throwing decks together that will just come out of nowhere and dominate.
Our LGS where we play (FNM) has a range of people new and old, playing various decks. From the top tier decks to intro decks, and just about everything in between.

Being the only way for me to play paper magic, I find that my intrest wains a bit outside of standard, although I would like to crack out some cool EDH decks every once in a while.
Recently, I've signed up to MTGO for some creativity and a bit more of an opportunity for me to hone my drafting skills.

I generally stick to Midrange decks, as I feel agro can sometimes run out of steam, and with a good midrange, you have a better chance on keeping the preasure on a control deck to deal with each thing you play. My last venture into agro was my standard infect deck, which won me my fair share of loot, gamedays, etc.

I have been known to dabble in a mill/control deck. For a while there, I was using good old {Undead Alchemist} and a bunch of his zombie pals to create havock.

Currently I'm running a Junk Tokens that switches into Lifegain. Lifegain is awesome against both control and agro, and gives me more distance than most other midrange decks.
The tokens can quite easily overwhelm most decks, so depending what I'm up against, it has a good chance.

Most of all, I play to have fun. When it stops being fun, I will stop playing. :)

Yeah I play for run I barely ever even go to FNM haha!the only thing I feel I would be missing from going red green to red wins is my life gain so I'm going to make my side board green to compensate

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
I play blue deck loses. I love {U}{G} and {W}  but I don't build competitive decks. I'm more interested in flavor and theme.

that's precisely why I love it, others see it as a weak strategy of playing two opposite colors, but it works very well and is one of the most fun decks to use, I have red spells that board wipe, spawn goblins, big creatures, ect. and my blues will give me flyers, let me pull more cards, counter spells, make enemy creatures inactive, prevent damage, ect

I'm not saying its a bad strategy,it sounds awesome!im just saying for my skill level it's a little rough

I'm a Johhny, every deck I build has some sort of combo that really just sets up the rest of the game for me.

I play a  {Wild Beastmaster} Bloodrush deck. Bc:
1. Very unexpected
2. Very aggressive
3. Who doesn't like to swing with an 11/11 Arbor elf on T3?
