Some of the cards for that combo are so old they're no longer legal except in Vintage tournaments, and Wizards just quietly accepts that Vintage is a really broken format. A deck like mine, with an infinite number of warriors by turn 5 and easily disrupted by one Counterspell, would get eaten alive by serious Vintage players running $5000 decks.SL33TBL1ND said:
There are lots of coloured artifacts. I have a black/white artifact deck, one of my friends has a devastating blue artifact deck. I find it's only best to have a completely colourless artifact if you have the Urzatron combo.Chase Yojimbo said:
No one's asked me about my favourite combo, so here it is:
All creatures you own that aren't in play are Eldrazi. For 20 mana, you may cast any number of Eldrazi you own from outside the game. In my case, that would mean bringing a box down from the attic, reaching for the section marked "creatures", and dropping about 500 cards on the table. I know I'll never be allowed to pull it off in a tournament (you're only allowed to identify 15 of your cards as "cards you own outside the game) but it would be hilarious if I pulled it off one day on my kitchen table.
All of those weaknesses can easily be overcome. Specifically:DanielDeFig said:
Red defends with ridiculous numbers of goblins and thunderbolts.
White has a lot of 4CMC (Converted Mana Cost) griffins.
Blue doesn't really need many creatures, just a small number that works well together a great example of this is The Time Elemental [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=159775]
Love the Urza block. The only set of cards to ever get the entire design team yelled at. So glad I have the whole set.Chamale said:Some of the cards for that combo are so old they're no longer legal except in Vintage tournaments, and Wizards just quietly accepts that Vintage is a really broken format.

It seems like my biggest problem is that i don't have enough cards (I have lots, but they'r not as varied/useful as i would like when i try to create a deck), but cards are expensive.SL33TBL1ND said:
I know its weird but white soldier quick mobilization and boost's to powerful attacks
its work for me. Let it be stated I am usually very lucky.

Huh... I found my Ravnica era Simic Deck, if anyone wants to see.
EDIT: Also a white Mirroden era White Equipment Deck, though I think this was more for fun than serious play.

Ah, well I guess it helps that my parents have been playing since the 90's and therefore have 5 binders, a suitcase and 12 card boxes full of cards plus 8 active decks.DanielDeFig said:
Black. Played back when a Black Hatred-deck could whoop players in two turns (with lucky draws).
Black, because I thoroughly enjoy the mass death and resurrection style of it. It just doesn't discriminate when it comes to killing, it'll just sap away everything you've worked for with little effort.
It's tricky to play cooperatively with it, but it's great fun in free for alls.
On a side note, I hate coloured artifacts. They're contradictory.

This reminds me of my Blue/Red deck. It's not my main deck, or even my favorite, but I love the fact that it's U/R but instead of relying on counterspells and burn damage, it's a straight up aggro deck, in which almost every creature has some kind of evasion ability -- mostly flying and shadow, with a couple of unblockable cards, including an unblockable 6/6 that I can get out in two or three turns for 3 mana, assuming it's a multiplayer game and things are going my way.NeutralDrow said:
OT: I love a good G/W deck. My favorite deck, especially for multiplayer games, was a G/W deck that allowed for insane amounts of life gain, while building up to get out some ridiculous Timmy creatures -- the main two being

Phantom Nishoba is probably my personal favorite MTG creature. I'm sure there were some that were even more over the top released in that Eldrazi block, but a 7/7 with an early version of lifelink, which basically can't be killed by anything but a black deck or a well timed counterspell? Heck yes. [evil]It's especially fun if you throw in something that can manipulate +1/+1 counters[/evil]
I can't remember the cards off the top of my head, but that deck also featured a combo that severely reduced the damage I would take on any given turn, and which effectively shut down a white weenie or similar deck. I remember one game that went on for two hours because of that combo. I didn't have enough copies of the cards to consistently get it out, but man did I love it when I did. And now this thread is making me want to break out my decks, and go around campus trying to find someone else who plays...
Red I like destruction I combine it with Black to kill my opponents creatures. Although there are a few blue cards I like like Tome scour (an opponent throws away the top 5 cards from his/her deck)
I was going to play with a Red deck, looked cool to me.
But if I check the first 2 pages of this topic, I think I'm just going to give up on Magic...

Pure green. I don't play competitively and pretty much only in a small group of friends so my deck strategy is not so clever.

Personally I used to use a wubrg/devour deck with a phoenix or two thrown in because I like em, but it kept getting stomped because... well, I suck with a wubrg deck 
Switched over to a Red/Blue deck, Get some fierce spell enhancing creatures out while blocking and redirecting whatever spells the other player casts, then use the boosts to deal ridiculous damage with a well placed lava axe. Haven't had anyone to test it against though, and because of this thread, I feel woefully unskilled...

My favorite Magic: The Gathering color really just depends on my mood. Though my best deck to date was a green/white deck, which allowed me to summon ridiculous amounts of creatures. I once managed to get six creatures out on the field of battle in my first turn, though I don't remember how I did that.
