[MTG] Your Best Deck

Hiya, since the only MTG thread on PC in existence is basically dead, I thought I'd start an offshoot. I mean, why have only one MTG thread, and a bunch of yugioh threads? It doesn't seem fair haha.

With the release of Gatecrash, I took it upon myself to make the best R/G deck I could, using Gruul cards, and other nice red or green cards I've come across in today's standard format.

Although it's not the greatest deck by far, it does work when I need it to, and I've beaten the majority of my friends with their standard decks.

I plan on replacing some land, of course the guildgates, I just need to find Stomping Grounds and Rootbound Crags.
I'm also trying to make all basic land in my deck Zendikar full art land, I already have all the mountains set, I just need to find forests. My deck is very creature heavy simply because of Bloodrush, my favorite mechanic by far.

So what does your best deck look like? Any format, it doesn't matter.

I recently just started building with the gatecrash cards and some of them work pretty damn well with the older guild orientated cards. I just started building a House Dimir deck and the new Cipher effect goes really well with some of the old Ravnica sets dimir unblockables, like Dimir Infiltrator and Dimir House Guard (which has Fear which pretty much unblockable anyway).


It's not my best deck by far but it's so much fun when I get Consuming Aberration or Szadek on the field to play with.

I'd probably say that my best deck is my vampire deck. It was my first deck and it just kept getting better and better. I'm about three or four cards off from it being perfect, but unforunatly those cards cost about £5-£10 each and screw paying that much when my deck already kicks butt.


I'm only really missing a bloodline keeper and a few other cards that give other vampires +1/+1 but apart from that this is my perfect deck <3
