Magic players have fun in different ways concerning this game. Some people want to be king of the hill reigning over all others. Some like building crazy decks and finding ridiculous interactions. Some like playing just to be social.
I once made a token deck with Fists of Ironwood and Vigean Hydropon just so I could say "Fisting the poon". I haven played competitive magic in years, I am not that guy anymore. But I still read all the articles I can. And I have spent an unhealthy amount of time watching live coverage of tournaments. I have a great time playing stack with you guys. Gathering together for box bustin' and sortin'. I love magic more than ever.
Just do whatever provides the most enjoyment and don't mind anyone else. I remember this kid who used to play at Marks back in the Timespiral era with a mono black vampires deck. It was full of crazy stuff and was pretty janky compared to Pickles and D-Storm, which were the hot decks at the time. But he was there playing that deck for months at a time. You always knew the morph was a Soul Collector but he still loved it when he finally got off a Sudden Spoiling and took your dudes.
Just do whatever is the most fun for you. Make your vampire deck. Find your poon and FIST IT!
I like the new red walker. He's only one proliferate away from tagging a control player for 6-7 on turn 3. That blue draw card/proliferate could work nice with him. Plus he's a two mana walker... Can't expect the world from him.
let's say this new angel gets hexproof. How many cards can kill it in standard? I'll start. Black sun zenith, call to the grave, phyrexian metamorph, phantasmal image.
This is the best post I've read in months. Bravo Oh no, this should be a featured article on scg.
