I play the card game, though haven't played any computerised versions of it.  Favourite sets: Homelands, Ravnica (and Return) and the Un- sets.

If you have time,give Forge a go,its pretty light.
For the real game,for the most part I exclusivly play in Pauper.☺

JFF,here are the two decks Im playing.
Bogles,because:

Idea being to throw down a cheap hexproof creature and enchant the hell out of it.


And the ever classic goblins,which really doesn't require an explanation.You try to kill people.Fast.

I play the paper version, mostly on a casual basis. I've got all sorts of decks, although only one that's really competitive (Modern mono-green Infect).

Currently I'm tuning a Standard cycling deck and playing happily with a standard RG trample concoction.

Sometimes dip my toe into EDH. Trying to make Mazirek Eldrazi work, and so far failing.

[Smith]

Funny you should mention Mazirek...
You probably worked this combo out,but here is the axis of what I use for Commander:

Heh, Crucible of Worlds is a seriously costly card, but if you can afford it that's a great combination.

My idea is that sacrificing Eldrazi Spawn and Scions is a good way to ramp into big creatures plus also get +1 / +1 counters galore. Not quite cracked it yet, though...

[Smith]

Well really...Forge.
In paper I stick to Pauper,like I said.

Also,I assume your going with something like Westwale Abbey/Spawning bed/Foundry of consuls land lineup?

The Abbey and Spawning Bed, yes, hadn't thought to add the Foundry but I do have a spare one, and now you mention it that makes perfect sense

Because I've gone for an Eldrazi sub-theme I'm also using Eye of Ugin, Eldrazi Temple, Sanctum of Ugin and Shrine of the Forsaken Gods in the mana base.

[Smith]

That seems to be standard for Eldrazi from what I saw.Sea Gate Wreckage is also popular,but that might be too much colorless stuff going on.
A friend of mine runs an reanimator variant of Eldrazi in Pauper and it works fairly well.

Its pretty straightforward,really.

[Smith]

I think I have my new commander.

[Jimmy Baker's Assistant]

I've picked up Feline Ferocity myself. Nabbed a Lost Leonin for 10p to put in it. Quite pleased with that.

[Smith]

Im not sure if I will finish it however,I dont really have anyone to play Commander with.And Mirri is no use to me in pauper,so...Im out of ideas.

[Smith]

I cant wait to build a dinosaur deck.
