1  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / Help me build a sealed deck from a giant card pool on: January 29, 2009, 11:53:52 pm
My friends and I have been doing a booster draft for each block.  After every two blocks we draft from one pack of a basic set and then combine all of the cards we have drafted to make one 60 card deck.  I am having a hard time deciding how to construct my deck so I was hoping some people here might be able to help me.  Just for reference the three best other decks are very likely to be a white/red weenie/burn deck, a red/black/green deck with tons of creature destruction and a black/green deck featuring some big green creatures and lots of terror type spells.

I will say before I list my cards that I am only going to list cards I figure could possibly be playable (ie I have grey ogres and hill giants in basically all of the colors that I won't show).  Also my favorite color is blue and I generally prefer to play more controlling type decks.

My major weakness is a severe lack of creature destruction.  My Blue flying creatures are generally strong, but the only other color I have threatening creatures in is Green.  However, I am a bit scared to play Blue/Green because of it's complete lack of creature destruction.  I feel like my Blue spells are by far my strongest and therefore I was considering almost every color combo involving Blue: U/B, U/B/R, U/B/W, U/G, U/G/R.

Before I dump my massive list into this post, I just want to preemptively thank anyone willing to dig through this thing.
