I thought Dr. Shades might be interested to know that my free decks of Magic the Gathering Plainswalker cards finally arrived in the mail. I got blue and white. My brother got white and red.

It's been a while since I've played, but I used to play frequently when I was in high school. My favorite back then was usually a mix of green and red although I've been known to like decks with white or black support. I never did well with blue, but then I never had the super-awesome blue cards like some of my friends (one had a doppleganger). I sold those cards for pennies before heading off on my mission because I wasn't playing much and I started thinking it was a waste of time and money. Now I wish I just kept on to the cards I had for game night.

Wow, someone finally got theirs, eh?

I'm still waiting on mine.

Me, my favorite colors are Black and Green, but right now I'm playing a top-tier Blue and Black deck.

If you need cards for game night, most hobby stores will have loose commons for somewhere between 5 and 10 cents each.

I always found Black to be a little risky what with all those cards that seem to hurt me for casting them. To mix Black with Blue was unfathomable for me. I bow to your Magic deck. My problem with Blue is that I could never get enough support to take good advantage of Blue's power.

So what are your favorite Black and Blue cards in your deck anyhow if you don't mind telling?

I might have to take a look. I usually like a few less common cards just to mix things up a bit, but I don't want to spend what I used to on cards either. I'll have to stop by a hobby shop next time I'm at the mall.

Don't bow too low; it was a net-deck (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em).

Rather than just pointing out one or two cards, why don't I just post the whole decklist?

If that's the case, then most places sell uncommons somewhere between 25 and 50 cents each.

Who needs help tapping their mana?

I played Magic when I was 14 and stuff. I was very early on that bandwagon with gives me some ultranerd cred.

I sold my collection for a pretty penny a few years back. Moxes ftw!

You got at least $300.00 out of each one of them, right? 'Cause that's what they're worth.

Hey asbestosman,

I finally got my decks last week, too. I got the monogreen Elf deck and the monored Goblin deck. Cool, eh?

I'm jealous. Red and green are my favorites. Any notable cards? I still need to examine my decks a bit more closely to see what's uncommon and what's fun. I'm a bit disappointed with my common 6/6 Sea Monster since it can't attack unless the defending player has an Island. I am, however, pleased with my 1/6 Wall of air, my persuasion enchantment (to control a target creature). With white I'm happy with Seera's Embrace (+2/+2 enchant + flying + vigilance), Soaring Hope (grant creature flying or put it back in library later for 1 white mana), and Armored Ascension (+1/+1 enchantmen for each plains +flying).
