Magic the Gathering(tm)

God knows how much money the Wizards of the Coast have made out of this one, I know at least five people who've spent at least Ł200 on these cards, once you start you can't stop...
Well It's finally happened and now I have more cards than is sensible for one man to own, that is to say more than 3. I also have loads of new decks....
The annoyance deck.
My original annoyance deck is still black/blue, with loads of enchantments and generally annoying cards! Cards like... Weakness, Control magic, Soul Barrier, Paralyse, Jester's Cap, Skeleton Ship, Mundungu, Sealed fate... You get the idea! The plan is more to annoy the other player than win!
The phasing deck.
My current favourite deck; Everything in this phases, except the floodgates! Sandbar crocs, Shimmers (love that card!), Vanishing, Tenefi's Isle, Tenefi's Curse etc etc...
The turbo-green deck.
What do you get when you put lots of mana producing cards and lots of stompy big creatures in the same deck? Hopefully a fast deck of doom. Well, thats the idea anyway!!
