    Soldier deck

    This was based on D'Avenant Archer's ability (deal one damage to attacking or blocking creature) and kind of morphed into a Soldier deck. This was before the Sideboard contest (two years ago). I probably should put in Deserts to keep with the theme (and Balduvian Tradepost). Card availability...

    Manabarbs deck

    Okay, here's my pride and joy, nurtured for several years, through Ice Age to Stronghold. It got me 4th place in my first tourney (back during Ice Age) and the only reason I think it didn't go further is because I played a side duel while waiting for my next match and my mana was clumped. No...

    MP: Thallid deck

    Okey-dokey, I'm playing Magic tonight for the first time in two years and this is a deck I came up with in 30 minutes. I can't make the changes anyone suggests right now (since I'm at work) but will keep them in mind. This uses cards from sets pre-Mirage (despite that I have through...

    All you Baltimore folk

    I'm thinking about getting back into Magic and I think I have a couple of free hours next Thursday evening 9/13. Does anyone want to meet at the WOTC store in Owings Mills Mall? I only have cards from Stronghold and earlier, so it'd have to be semi-Extended (at least, what I'd play).
