I prefer blue black, partially because it's the colour of Tzeentch, but also because it's the colours who's philosophy I feel most attuned to.

I like to use more than one deck. All of them are mono color, and range in the red/black/blue. I like to change playstile and strategy, as Using everytime the same card turn out boring to me.

The strategy of my deck are:

Black, a deck based on a "swarm" style, full of little and fast played monster easily powered up with a lot of +1/+1 to turn them into an horde of resurrectable monster

Red, a deck full of magic that directly inflict damage, big monster, and way to produce high quantity of red mana. Kind of a powerhouse deck.

Blue, based on the old dark steel season... I;m giving it only some little change over time... But the core strategy is still rounded on my platinum angel [love him]

I always prefer the 'bad guy' in games, so when I first started I bought a black undead-based starter deck. I have tried pretty much every combination available, and I still always come back to black. I am currently running a black vampire deck that consistently does very well and a black-red deck that I haven't gotten to use much yet but is seeming promising.

Uni-color is WEAK. My old deck (haven't played for while now, sadly) was a: Green dominant, red enhanced deck; 120 Card-behemoth. Speciality: Sniping out dangerous foes with red while building INSANE monsters.
Absolutely NO. A uni-color is really better at managing mana. A bicolor deck have a lot of problem to build the mana pull fast enough to stop a swarm, or to stop a stasis deck, or any fast-peace deck. The only exception to this rule, IMO, is my elemental fire deck, where I have my deck composed of green powerhouse, blue stasier, and a hell of red damaging spell. Only because my main card is able to change color and produce mana.

For a bi-color, this is possible, but I burn myself a lot of turn waiting for the mana, that I could use to attack my opponent.

I don't play much, but I tend to prefer using either red/black creature spam or just straight red burn. I haven't actually played a game of magic in years though.

I can never choose. At the moment I've really gotten into white/green, black/green decks. The New Phrexia whites are just awesome:



Very delving deep into 'White is not Good' territory. And the design of the new whites is fantastic. Sleek curves and blood. :3

I used a mix of green and red, I picked enough of the "cheap" red "burn enemy Life" cards and enough green to get enough creatures out to block creature attacks. I never really played to seriously.

My friend used a mix of white and black, with a lot of black mutual damage cards and white healing effect cards. Was devastating, but I did manage to get a few quick wins in.

I don't play any more, but back in the day I was a big fan of Blue.

"I play my awesome creature of awesomeness."
"Countered."

"I target your wizard with shock."
"Redirected."

"I use my extremely expensive enchantment to..."
"Bounced."
Posts like this make me think I play the game wrong (back when I played, anyway). My preferred blue deck - an all-wizard tribal deck - admittedly had some countering as a stall tactic. Oh, and some bouncing too. Like I said, though, it's all stalling for a decidedly un-blue finisher: one-shotting my opponent with a giant flying and occasionally unblockable wizard. Generally no less than 30/30.

Like I said, doing it wrong. Personally, though, I prefer playing white/black or green/black. That said, I tend to play with combo decks, which means colours take a back seat to whatever I need to achieve.

GREEN! because I love the creatures. Wurms are my favorite creatures in magic. get a Liege of the Tangle in that with overwhelming stampede and... by best combo dealt 240 something damage (trample) in a single turn.

I LOVE green decks.

(second best is blue. I love Merfolk. Plus blue is the "fuck you" color. "Oh, you wanna play a spell? Fuck you, and every monster you play. BACK TO YOUR HAND WITH YOU!")

I play multiple decks of each color, and couldn't imagine picking only 1.

Gut reaction says white though, since it has the best weenies and sweepers. Allowing it to dominate in early game, or control builds.

Blue by itself is quite weak since counters nowadays blow, and it has always had horrid creatures. It really only works as a splash color, aside from extreme legacy builds.

My preferred color is blue but I usually play split color decks. I love the flexibility blue adds to any other color by way of countermagic specifically.

Blue milling deck most of the time (since its entertaining to watch my opponents library be destroyed) and a RGB Dragon deck for when I'm not feeling fancy and rather just burn things instead.

Dang nabbit, people are still talking about Magic the Gathering?

When am I gonna see a thread about Duel Masters?
Played that, and Yu-Gi-Oh for awhile. Sadly, I found neither game to have the sheer depth that Magic offers (though that's not surprising).
Duel Masters is a gateway to Magic. They are made by the same company. Yu-Gi-Oh! has gotten really competitive. And they are adding a new type of summoning again.
OP: Blue is such a troll deck.

my blue mill, mull, or mold (whatever you call it) deck has sent several opponents into rage fits.
