A place to discuss strategies, decks, card combos, and so forth.
I personally am a Black Deck user, and the zombie/cleric deck I've put together owns JonIrenicus for free (though he'd never admit it ;D ).
It involves a few tricky combos that could be made easier if I had more of the cards, but I make due with what I've got...

But Life Leeching of black cards makes up for it. I Soul Burn like nobody's business. Profane Prayers helps too, and when all else fails, I've got 20 zombie cards and 2 Shepherds of Rot. I can kill both players and wind up at about -40 each.

I was playing ever since it started. I hate the new cards.
I remember when Ball Lightning was the craziest card ever.

But yeah, Ball Lightning pisses me off It really sucked sometimes. I think J-I used it against me every now and then. I, on the other hand, prefer to use black cards simply because of the life leeching. Red direct damage does more, but it does nothing to help you if you're low on life. Black Soul Burns, Syphon Souls, and stuff like that drains life from your opponents and gives it to you. Downside of Soul Burn is you hafta have enough black mana to pay on X. Usually I can drain about 5-7 life with them though.

Blue used to be my fav. Spelljack makes you fear casting anything. Spelljacking and counterspells pissed me off CONSTANTLY. Spelljack/Counterspell decks really annoy people to the point of murder. Either JI or his friend had one that entirely owned you.

Omg you have no idea. I've spent entire games when the opponent casts nothing.
Then again, i've been on the recieveing end of that too.
By far the most fun card of mine: Balance.

Plague Wind sucks. 7BB to destroy all your opponents creatures? fuck that, Diabolic Edict, pwns it. put 4 of em in your deck your set. Apocalypse was in Tempest. for 2RRR Destroy all artifacts, creatures, and lands. Discard your hand. Obliterate is better. for 6RR you can do the same thing except you keep your hand, and it also can't be countered. Samurai are the pwnz0rs now. Red/White Samurai is the way to go. Champions of Kamigawa is the best set since Tempest. As for the Demons, i think theres like 20 across the entire of Magic the Gathering Series. i have 3... Reaver Demon Mirrodin 4BBBB, 6/6 Flying. When youn play this creature from your hand, Destroy all non-black non-artifact creatures. they can't be regenerated. Minion of Leshrac Ice Age 4BBB, 5/5 Protection from Black Tap: Destroy target creature or land. During your upkeep, sacrifice a creature. If you dont Minion deals 5 damage to you, if you take damage this way, tap it. Grinning Demon Onslaught 2BB 6/6. During your upkeep, lose 2 life. Morph 2BB. edit: speaking of samurai, you cant image how badly i want these cards for my samurai deck:
