MAGIC: How Big is Your Deck?
Cedric Chin
Anyway, I'm curious what sort of decks players have out there.
1. How much did it cost?
2. What decks is it composed of?
3. What colors can you play with it?
(ie. does it have enough cards to play a color well)
4. How many players is it designed for?
A friend of mine has the following:
1. $26
2. Two starter packs, rest are boosters.
3. Red, Blue, and White.
Black is possible, but he doesn't have enough lands.
Green has plenty of lands, but not enough spells.
4. Two.
My personal goal is to have a deck large enough for
two players and with enough spells and land for all
colors. And then I'd like a deck for four players.
What compositions of decks do you recommend? I was
thinking about buying the Collection to "guarantee"
enough spells and three Starter packs to "guarantee"
enough lands. I'd make the purchase from one of those
"BUY A LOT, GET A NEAT DISCOUNT" places because I'd
rather get a good game once than buy bits and pieces
in dribs and drabs. What do you think?

I bought my Deck two days ago and did not play yet.
1. DM 19.80 (having $7.95 printed on one side)
2. 60 cards. including:
23 lands (6 green, 6 red, 5 blue, 4 black, 2 white)
4 artifacts (one of each: mono, poly, continous, creature)
11 summons (3 green, 4 red, 2 blue, 1 black, 1 white)
22 further spells (4 green, 3 red, 5 blue, 5 black, 5 white)
3. If I get all lands in play ,there will be no problems at all.
To do anything I desire, I would need 3 green, 2 red, 2 blue, 2 black and
1 white mana point. Due to some cards, a lot of red mana (for the dragon
breath) a lot of black mana (for pestilence) and enough green (for regen-
erations) and a lot of any mana (fireball, stream of life) will give me
good advantages.
I suppose, it is well balanced. If I get one of the two white lands soon,
even white spells are possible. (My deck includes Phantasmal_Lands, that
changes the colour of one land by using two blue mana points, that may
help for it). But if I am unluck enough to find no white mana-source,
I must rely on reds offensive ability or greens regeneration ability.
And some black spells can be fatal by long time effect too.
4. One.
