I used to think Magic was too complicated to get into, but I got into it since Scourge. My first card was Akroma, I didn't have a deck back then I just liked the card. What I love about MTG (compared to Yugioh or other card games) is that there are ton of playable decks that can be made, and not cookie cutter netdecks that dominate all (it used to be this way in Mirrodin, granted...). Making original decks out of a vast card pool is my idea of fun, and the thought that it can be competitive (with the right sideboard) is what keeps me playing. Right now there aren't too many abusive decks in type 2 which allows for a healthy variety of decks.
I tried to play extended for a bit but there are so many abusive decks (Astral Slide, Psychatog, Orim's chant) that semi casual and original decks have no place to shine.
Right now my T2 decks are Red/Green spirit (uses the soil shaper and glitterfang combo to make 3/3 lands attack each turn), Black/Blue control (like a offensive dimir deck, with Morroii, Hypnotic Specter, Nezumi Shortfang, Kira the glass spinner, lasts gasps for removal and will o the wisp for defense),T2 elf deck (my favourite, albeit less original. A crazy mix of elves with black splashed with elf of deep shadow for putrefys, last gasps and death denied. I'm thinking the unblockable, untargetable elf combined with moldervine cloak and might of oaks or elvish champion means gg for your opponent very soon. Elvish champion is just hot with everyone playing forests thanks to dual lands). My best deck is a white green spirit deck with taillowisps, promise of burei, faith's fetters (a searchable answer to jitte is what makes this strong), charge across the araba. This deck is the most versatile against matchups, a little bit of weenie, a lot of control and creature removal (horoki dust drinker, faith's fetters, pacifism,hour of reckoning), a lot of enchantment removal (for those pesky enduring ideal decks) and powerful win conditions (charge across the araba, burei coupled with long forgotten goheis, Horoki).
If anyone is from Montreal (fat chance), it'd be great.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
