MTG Salvation

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and actually very new to the game myself. So far I only play standard, and I have traded/bought/pulled a lot of great cards. I know I have enough cards to build some powerful decks, however I'm not really sure how to test whether or not they are well constructed. I have a few friends I play with, but it's rather infrequent so I usually rebuild my decks before I play them. I've started playing against myself to test them out, but that only proves that one of my decks is more powerful than the other, the problem with this though is that if both my decks are weak, there's no way to know it. So long story short: How do I test my deck on my own.

There is a number of online play deck against other people software.. that may or may not be legal.

Cockatrice is the most popular.
I like to use CCG lackey, I know on Lackey people don't just make the most expensive decks and play them even though they can. It actually tends to be a bunch of random brews. I don't think I have even seen Mono black devotion (although G/R monsters turns up often enough). Apparently given no $$ restraints people rather make risky might not be good decks.

The other more legal option is FNM... sadly for me.. my LGS FNM are limited only.. so I don't get a chance to play my standard deck. They tend to be fun even if you fail horribly.

Just post the decklists here in the appropriate section and we'll tell you.

This is still valuable as a showcase whether your stuff ticks.
