Initially this tested the Hystrodon card too but to see if the card image still showed up with the other morphers, I took the Hystrodon out and put 4 more mana cards in (the deck is very slow.)

please note these are not optimal decks...I did not spend hours tweaking them so they can certainly stand improvement but they do provide a baseline for how morphing works in Forge.

Thanks, I will try these decks.
The angel deck look fun, with 6 moat cards you should really cripple the AI.
Although the standard included white weenie deck has loads of small flyers, that might get you if you don't get the mana for your angels.

Ah, dragons. I am always a bit ambiguous about them. They are great once in play, but getting them there can be a pain.
Seething song, Brightstone Ritual and Grinning Ignus are really missed in MTGForge so far.

the Red Green dragons deck is fairly easy to play. Dragons come out turn 5/6 and can be quite scary.

The white black deck has to struggle even with the lousy AI at the helm of the dragon deck. Anyway neither deck is all that good, just throwtogethers without any serious thought put into them, mainly useful for testing morphing etc.

The red rituals are not my favorite cards...can't really say why.
