Title: new deck ideas? [type1]
Post by: peanutbutter(: on May 20, 2013, 05:50:03 AM
I'm getting kind of bored with the deck I have and was wondering what kind of deck to make. Right now i have priest/ phillistines, and the deck I had before that was angan/ demons. Other than a Sam deck, red deck, or Genegyptions, what other fun combinations are there?

Most of them seem pretty common; I'm looking for a strong unusual deck.

What you are looking for is mutually exclusive.  If a deck is strong, then a large number of people will play it, so it will become common.  If a deck is unusual it is probably because it isn't able to win often enough for people to start copying it.

The only exception would be if you were able to create a NEW type of deck that was really strong, but that no one had thought of before, so it wasn't common YET.  However, if you were capable of that, then you wouldn't be asking other people how to build your deck :)

P.S.  How's your summer starting off?  Say hey to your family for me :)

Hmmm. Oh well, didn't really think much about that. So I guess I got some thinking to do. Lets see if I paid enough attention to how other people built their decks to get some ideas.  :P My dad says hi and how are you doing? He asked if you like him, then why didn't I get a higher grade in science? Just kidding obviously (:

You can tell your dad that I'm doing great.  Mrs. Underwood and I just celebrated our 15th Anniversary last week, and had a wonderful weekend thanks to awesome friends being willing to babysit for us.

As for your grade in science, the computer calculates that when I simply put in what you earned on all your tests, etc.  But at least you won 1st place at the science fair final exam, and Mrs. Underwood made you brownies :)

He says congratulations on celebrating your 15th, and I second that! That's really cool. That's one good thing about having great friends: mutual partnership. And as for my grades... (: my dad said he could just calculate them and that I should have A's. Tell Mrs. Underwood thanks again for the brownies. They were amazing! And thanks for the extra one, by the way!(:
