Hi there guys!
First post at Magic board
turns out that my girl's brother plays Magic and so I'm getting back to it after about 8 years I don't own a card lol My favorite sets are mercadian masques, nemesis and prophecy, and so the blue deck i'm playing has a lot from these. My favorite color has always been blue, never played any other color, never played anything other than flying creatures with counterspells
Cool thing is now I have some money to invest and buy stuff I couldn't trade for when I was 15.
Well here is the deck. Want to know what you guys think of it. I think it's legacy or vintage, not sure, and definitely for casual play. Bear in mind tho I'm not changing this. I know it's flawed but this is the deck I played back then with some cool stuff I didn't own and it features my favorite Magic cards.
~30x Islands ( not sure yet, needs playtesting )
4x Counterspell
4x Arcane Denial
4x Foil
4x Daze
4x Rootwater Thief
3x Spiketail Hatchling
3x Spiketail Drake
3x Spitetail Drakeling
1x Archivist
1x Alexi, Zephyr Mage
2x Tidal Kraken
1x Avatar of Will
1x Predator, Flagship
1x Spellbook
2x Kraken's Eye
2x Sapphire Medallion
2x Rhystic Study
1x Denying Wind
2x Fog Bank
The idea is to counter anything I want, hit with the flying guys and let the kraken finish the game. I think I have a good set of counters (and drakes!) so that (almost) nothing will touch the kraken. The medallion is awesome, specially for some late game, fog bank is my lead blocker
, rhystic study and archivist will help me draw, kraken's eye will help me specially against burning or direct damage.
The wind is there cause I love it and avatar of will is there cause it's one of my fave pictures and there's a remote chance I play him for 2
Alexi is great too and will get me rid of nasty creatures buggin me.
About the islands, I'm not sure how many to add. Need to play and see how often I'll throw them away for foil.
LMK what you think!
