I started with a grixis deck, a lot of creatures going into graveyards and of course advantages from that. I then kept getting more grixis cards, slowly improving and then decided I need more specific themes. I split that deck into an all zombie deck with death barons, and then a deck that had veindrinkers, blood cultists and creatures with death touch and/or got stronger as graveyards got bigger. I did a few drafts with my friends and have been to one decently sized tournament.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To me, and probably most people, building a deck is one of the funnest parts, but I keep building mediocre decks. I don't want to spend a TON of money, I'm not that hardcore yet, and don't have the time to go to tournaments all the time or FNM every week. But I thought it would be fun to try and start a decent competitive deck, that who knows I may never play competitively but you never know-- it's fun to have. I thought it would be fun to try faeries, not JUST because I'm a girl and think they look cool, but blue/black are my two fav. colors for magic and from what my brother tells me faeries used to be decently powerful in competitive play. So, I am basically just looking for ideas of a way i can make a somewhat decent deck with faeries thats not ridiculously expensive that I can maybe play casually in small extended play. I did a little research on my own, and got some spellstutters, faerie trickery, a bunch of random faerie creatures and played it out and its decent but still a bit slow. I finally gave in and got bitterblossoms but I know it needs more help! any ideas would be great.&nbsp;</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9220084951158895987-4766984825692382432?l=daniellesmtggreatness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>danielle@danielle's discoverieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15315225884983211198noreply@blogger.com0
