Poll: Magic the Gathering: five colors

[Eclectic Dreck]

Blue, I like saying "No."

I miss Cryptic Command.

This.

When I played (around ten years ago), I favored the Blue Deck simply because I had the ability to throw my opponent's plan in disarray.

I'd probably still play the game were it not for the fact that I don't know anyone who plays the game. Well, that and I'd have to go and buy hundreds of cards again as I'm sure those that I have in a box somewhere are no longer valid for one reason or another.

-EDIT-
I just checked and found that MTG cards are incredibly cheap. I guess my perception at the expense inherent was the result of having a limited budget at the time as I last played before I was employed.

White-Red and White-Black. Both were very effective, and neither are currently legal in tournament play.

For some reason I always laughed a bit to myself when I started dropping my Angels, especially a Seraph or two.

Honestly, since Ravnica I don't have a favorite color anymore. That block was the most awesome one ever released by Wizards, and its 10 guilds ( =10 possible dual-color combinations) made me enjoy every single color for its unique benefits.
My favorite of the 10 guilds were probably the Orzhov (black & white) - destruction, protection and capitalizing on your opponent's weaknesses by spamming them with kick-ass tokens.

Before that, though, I was mostly a blue player. Cancel, rebound and control used to drive my opponents nuts.
Other than that, I have a red deck from the Lorwyn block. Can't handle players with protective circles, but if it plays according to plan it kills in 4 turns.

I mainly use blue because I love all the 'fuck you' cards. I also threw some reds in there for shits and giggles.

I like my little Black Infect deck that my BFF made for me, too bad I don't have anyone to play with here in Colorado (too big of a coward to go to a game store). Backed into a corner in a multiplayer game? Attack all out, enjoy your -1/-1 counters on your creatures...

I love Poison Counters...

Recently began playing this more regularly I'm all about red. Guess being straight foreward is my thang.

Blue.

Even if I lose, you are pissed as shit at me canceling you.

It's like I'm Fox, and I'm canceling Futurama and Firefly.

That is how pissed you will be.

Winning doesn't matter so much to me.

I laughed so hard at the truth in this statement

LOL, so... so... true & sad...

OT: I stopped playing a while ago, but my last tourney deck was a black control, back when Nantuko Shade & Cabal Coffers made a mono-black build stupidly overpowered.

I've got a pretty mean elf deck still - unlimited mana which leads to unlimited attack points.

I've also got a damn fine creature kill deck - end times for anyone not playing a Burn deck.

A zombie deck that no one I know can beat without 'Meddling Mage' and Armageddon.

One of my favorites to play is my Slivers - overkill fun time.

 

[Leemaster777]

Back when I played, my best decks either used White or Green. So, one of them.

Oddly, though, whenever I'd make a Green/White deck, they'd always suck.

 

[shadowseal22]

I don't play much anymore, but when I did, I always played a pure white deck. No color will ability whore like white.

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

I mostly play blue and/or black decks. A blue mill deck mostly because I enjoy watching people rage as I force them to pretty much discard their entire deck. My record is having someone drawn out in ten turns.

You're kidding right? In the last few years, the price of cards has grown insanelly. Well, cards for competitive decks anyway. If you meant for casual decks, i guess it's true.
