Well as the title says...whats your favorit decks of all time? I'd nominate these 3 as my favorit decks of all time: Keeper: The most entertaining matches i've ever played has been keeper mirrors, struggling over position and eventually finishing the game after having won the game just feels so good. And even when you're loosing it dosn't feel all that bad since you generally speaking had a shot at winning.... And tweaking the deck from match to match made it special aswell, adding in a new surprise card or trying out new tech is awesome  Replenish-Opalescence: Its simply put, a blast to play!...incredibly broken although pretty vulnerable...and its so simple! even a kid could play it. P i ra t e s: (WTF? how did that change to "ninjas?" ) This is without a doubt the most annoying deck ever made. (save for Stasis perhaps)...bounce a land, go! is extremely annoying. There is just something about the feeling that your opponent would like to hurt you, physically. :lol: So whats your favorit? /Zeus Edit: Could someone explain to me why i can't write P i r a t e s ? it auto-changes to Ninjas. |

Sui-black:
When I first got interested in type one I read the primer on Sui-Black that was written by I think Zerbus. Well, in the article He said something of the sort" If you like winning by smashing your opponents head with a rock then Sui-Black is the deck for you.". Ever since I read those words I liked the deck. Since I was beginning my mtg career I was broke so I saved up my lunch money and bought some sinkholes for the deck that I still have. It was my first expensive magic purchase for my first favorite deck.
Tog:
When I started to aquire mana drains I searched for a more advanced deck to dominate tourneys with and found this wonderful creature in my binder. Yawg Win,Tog,Time Walk,C-wish for Berserk, the rest is history. Tog is my favorite deck of all time.
Deathlong:
Cruising through forums and the internet I came upon this creation. It was unlike anything I have ever played. I happened to own all of the cards so I threw it together and goldfished it for 4 weeks. I then went to my local tourney and was on fire, combo'in out, lookin around the room, deathwish'in for Yawg Will. It was a good time.
There are many decks that I have played but, those three have had the most impact on me.

My U/R counter-burn deck from when I was a scrub. It used Mana Flare and would often just Capsize your board.
Other than that, 4CC, Bazaar Madness, and obviously Belcher.

I have two, both from the same time period:
Extended, 1998: Literally half the field was playing Double R's "Richmond Gun". A deck featuring Priests, Monks, Mox, Rancor, Tithe, Bolts, Plow, and Scroll. Aquino helped me develop a 5CG deck with Tradewinds, Granger Guildmage, Birds, Elves, 'Geddon, Plows, and Wildfire Emissary that won me a PTQ by absolutely demolishing the meta. Best "anti" deck ever.
Type I, 1998: Richmond Rick's "Bug" deck. Built to compete in a then Aggro heavy format. Excepting Keeper, Zoo and Cuneo's Sui-Chi deck were everywhere. Typical control shell, featuring Drop of Honey to control the rush,(Bug one), and Mana Drains to fuel a Deadly Insect (Bug two), who kept the Drop running. It also ran a pair of Icys to help against control, but mainly to tap any blockers if they kept casting creatures. Keeper was probably still better at the time, especially once it switched from Serra to Autumn Willow, but this deck was just a gas.

Mono-Blue Control from Mirrodin-Kamigawa-8th edition Standard.
Basically, everybody played Tooth and Nail at this time, especially at Regionals (I played against 5 in 9 rounds.) I still remember the list from memory..
2 annul
3 condescend
4 mana leak
4 hinder
2 rewind
2 disrupting shoal
3 thirst for knowledge
3 boomerang
4 vedalken shackles
3 thieving magpie
3 spire golem
2 meloku the clouded mirror of victory
4 chrome mox
3 stalking stones
18 island
sideboard:
2 oblivion stone
3 temporal adept
4 twincast
1 kiki-jiki, mirror breaker
1 daring apprentice
1 boseiju, who shelters all
3 spectral shift
7-1-1 missed me top 8 at regionals, tiebreakers are lame, but this is still one of my favorite decks since I've began playing (when champions came out.)

Keeper, 4CC, whatever you wanted to call it.
You know...my meta is largely budget aggro with only one or two "serious" decks...Moat/Abyss should be pretty strong... Maybe I'll have to pull this old thing out of retirement for this weekend!

Easter Tendrils
20 Eggs (Darkwater, Skycloud, etc.)
4 Chromatic Spheres
4 Helms of Awakening
Lots of acceleration
3 Tendrils of Agony
And a good section of the restricted list
I miss that deck, still think it has game, and consider playing it semi-seriously.

Old school Suicide Black - I used to be infatuated with this deck. I remember pimping out my deck, obtaining Oriental versions of all the cards (and where none were available, European), all Unglued swamps. Killing someone with a Japanese Negator felt so delicious. Oh man that thing was a blast to play.
Sadly, I ended up taking it apart, although I still have my Japanese Yawg Will, the final card remaining from that deck.

Turbo Stasis.... Cmon, every control freak has at some point relished in a casual game where they're just toying the opponent around while locking out their untaps. Ak-GO (as in the Antoine Ruel World Champs deck) - The first deck I ever owned bought, the counter magic in this deck is what drew me into the world of Vintage, and Nether Spirit is still my favourite card to this day. Win Long - A deck which so far NONE of you have seen (unless there's already a deck named Win Long....), although I am about to post a thread about it, so if you're reading this after I post the list you may have seen it already. It's made me realise how brutal such weak cards such as Mental Note can be, and has shown me that everything has some use. |

Long.dec That's right, none of that pantsy deathlong, grimlong or pitchlong stuff. 4x LED 4x Burning Wish ftw, yo. Since playing that deck, diabolical laughter took on a whole new dimension for me - I actually felt like evil incarnate when I "solved the puzzle" and went off in the face of a control deck on turn one The only other deck that ever came close for me was Pox. But obviously you didn't win as much  |

Either Stasis/Chronatog (back when it was in the T2 is was great fun to play... if you are a sadist) or Worldgorger Dragon. Although Firemane Weirding has it's qualities in the T2, the look on people's faces when you lock them out of the game is the exact same one they gave eight years ago with Stasis/Chronatog.
