Anyone play I just started back up, and well, I want to see what other people like to use, I go for Black/Blue Counter/Destroy, or Green/White creature token army.

i used to play Black/White or Red/Green but i havent played in a few years
Fungus was my last main deck consisting of white and green million token making babies. The 2014 duels game just went out on all systems and it is pretty good. Haven't played in a couple years, but always like to see what the new sets are bringing to the table.
With Extort, you have to play a quick deck, 1 to 3 converted mana cost, with a lot of instants, if you play planeschase, thats 3 life at one white or black mana, better then a lot of other abilities -cough-Bloodrush-cough- (and in some cases populate) but to each thier own opinion.Quote:

lol, same here...im still on the swamp deck sorting out all the enchanted creatures, artifacts and such, i havent even been able to get to the land and the others lol...thats just how many cards i have and a lot of them are in pristine condition too...im hoping i can find a " kurd ape " somewhere in here cuz my uncle did some artwork for them...he did about 14 different cards...dark ritual, kurd ape, durnham jhin, some kind of beast, et etc...so if you see any " ken meyer jr " sigs on some cards, thats my uncle lolQuote:

Cipher + the myriad of unblockables for blue/black is simply breathtaking.Quote:

edit: used the wrong keyword for golgari, whoops
lol, well once i get all the cards sorted and all, ill put them up on ebay or something and see if i can make some decent money, some of the cards are in bad shape so naturally those will be staying with me lol, but the others are in really good shape, minty...so im hoping i can make some nice money, even though i dont know how much they would normally go for, but ill look it and and see if there's a site that has a pricing or whateverQuote:
