Well, I just decided to tear apart all of my decks and start from scratch. I built an 80-card Black/White/Red Soldier/Samurai deck to replace the deck I had had. Now, I'd like to build either a 60-card pure Green deck or a 60-card Green/White deck, but I don't know where to start. Any ideas?

(Note: My first deck was the pure Green 40-card pre-built from the 7th edition. Then I meshed it with the pure White 40-card pre-built from the same edition. As I went, I added cards that I acquired until I had a very good deck. Then I took it to camp and a guy who was about to go pro looked at it and helped me redesign it to be slimmer (it was getting pretty stacked; I think I had close to 100 cards in it at one point) and that was pretty good. Finally, with the advent of Guildpact, I explored the areas of Black, Blue, and Red and found that, while Green/White was a good strategy for my play style, White/Black or Blue/Green worked as well, and that Green/White/Black was very powerful in my hands. Unfortunately, three-color decks have to be stacked (80 cards at least in my deck building strategy) and pure decks are too thin for my tastes (I once got milled to death. *shakes fist at sky* CURSE YOU MILLSTONE!!!) so I stuck with two-colors until very recently when I decided that I had advanced enough as a player to be able to handle three colors.)

I would go green/white. White has a lot of healing/defensive cards. I can't really remember what green has (mana maybe?). Anywho I would not advise making a tricolor or more deck.

Green has a lot of cheap, powerful monsters and spells that bulk them.
I went tricolor on the other one because I had an Orshov deck for a while (before I tore it apart) and have a lot of Black/White cards. I also have three of the Legendary White samurai and a few Red samurai. So, I just combined the powerful Orshov cards (like Pillory of the Sleepless) and the samurai/soldier/equipments I had. It's a powerful combination if I can pull it off, and the deck isn't as vulnerable to milling. It just takes me a little longer to get to midgame than most other decks which is a trade-off I'm willing to make.

Hmm, just be careful you don't base your strategy around certain monsters. I would in this case say to make it green/black. You have a lot of disposable monsters and black cards are great with the dead.
