Two more. The first one's not very strong - I made it only as a challenge to see if mono-blue control was possible with the card pool and singleton limitation. It's not :p

Mono-Blue

# 9 creatures
1 Sphinx of Magosi
1 Keiga, the Tide Star
1 Draining Whelk
1 Sphinx of Lost Truths
1 Glen Elendra Archmage
1 Venser, Shaper Savant
1 Merfolk Seastalkers
1 Cursecatcher
1 Spiketail Hatchling

# 13 spells

1 Time Warp
1 Evacuation
1 Sleep
1 Sift
1 Time Ebb
1 Repulse
1 Exhaustion
1 Divination
1 Mana Leak
1 Essence Scatter
1 Into the Roil
1 Counterspell
1 Force Spike
1 Rite of Replication

#17 lands

17 Island

The second one here is very vicious. It makes use of Skullclamp, a very powerful card, but it also can win just by overwhelming an opponent with the abilities of the Swords. They also give protection, so it's hard to stop this deck if it gets the Sword that protects it from your colors.

# 15 creatures
1 Prickly Boggart
1 Birds of Paradise
1 Noble Hierarch
1 Llanowar Elves
1 Flametongue Kavu
1 Goblin Gaveleer
1 Silhana Ledgewalker
1 Lord of Extinction
1 Mogg Fanatic
1 Marisi's Twinclaws
1 Rakdos Guildmage
1 Defiant Elf
1 Treetop Scout
1 Vampire Nighthawk
1 Goblin Deathraiders

# 5 equipment
1 Sword of Light and Shadow
1 Sword of Body and Mind
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Sword of Fire and Ice
1 Skullclamp

# 3 other
1 Corpsehatch
1 Awakening Zone
1 Doom Blade

# 17 land
1 Savage Lands
1 Dragonskull Summit
1 Copperline Gorge
1 Blackcleave Cliffs
1 Stomping Ground
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Blood Crypt
1 Rootbound Crag
2 Mountain
4 Forest
3 Swamp

Thanks for the decks everyone!

Please help me out though by posting your decks as an attachment. Otherwise new users have to do all that copying and pasting and whatnot themselves, which really adds up. :)

<edit> I just enabled the dec extension, sorry if you've tried before and were unable. :oops:

Thanks to everyone who worked on this project. I hope you enjoy these two pre-made decks. All cards in these decks can be found in version 1.11.

The first deck is Knight-themed. Every creature here is either a Knight or a Changeling; all are singletons except for three copies of Knight Exemplar. Despite the simplicity, this is a reasonably powerful deck.

Code: Select all
# 15 creatures
1 Accorder Paladin
1 Black Knight
1 Cairn Wanderer
1 Hero of Bladehold
1 Kinsbaile Cavalier
3 Knight Exemplar
1 Knight of Meadowgrain
1 Leonin Skyhunter
1 Mirran Crusader
1 Mirror Entity
1 Phyrexian Crusader
1 Sigiled Paladin
1 Silver Knight
1 Student of Warfare
1 White Knight

# 7 spells
1 Go for the Throat
1 Reanimate
1 Soul Link
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Sword of Light and Shadow
1 Unmake
1 Whispersilk Cloak

# 2 lands
10 Plains
6 Swamp
My second deck is a four-color (W/R/U/B) monstrosity featuring creatures with effects triggered as they enter or leave the field of play. I used reanimation spells, Kiki-Jiki, and Mnemonic Wall to cycle cards back and forth from the field of play. You’ll see there are also life-gain and control components to the deck.

This can be a very satisfying deck to play. The Vivid lands mean that it’s a slow starter, but it’s quite powerful.

Code: Select all
# 16 creatures
1 Archon of Justice
1 Baneslayer Angel
1 Dragonmaster Outcast
1 Flametongue Kavu
1 Keiga, the Tide Star
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Kitchen Finks
1 Man-o'-War
1 Mnemonic Wall
1 Perilous Myr
1 Perimeter Captain
1 Puppeteer Clique
1 Safehold Elite
1 Skinrender
1 Wall of Denial
1 Wall of Reverence

# 6 spells
1 Beacon of Unrest
2 Go for the Throat
2 Reanimate
1 Smash to Smithereens
1 Sword of Light and Shadow
1 Vindicate

# 5 lands
2 Arcane Sanctum
3 Vivid Crag
3 Vivid Creek
4 Vivid Marsh
4 Vivid Meadow
If, like me, you love enormous, wildly impractical creatures, try adding them here in place of Keiga or Puppeteer Clique. They might actually make it to the field of play. :)

I’m sure these decks can be improved -- please feel free to do so.

Before discovering this program, I hadn’t played Magic since the days of 4th Edition. Compared to Homelands and Mirage, the power levels of today's cards are shocking! :) Thanks again to ubeefx and everyone else who contributed.

Thanks Grundomu. Welcome to the forum, and welcome back to MTG!

You're absolutely right, the cards nowadays are much more powerful than they used to be. And yet, the game still remains balanced. :)

Hi Grundomu, thanks for sharing your decks! :)
I also agree that the power level of newer cards is high, partly due to Mythic rarity.

Whoa! That's scary tbh :shock:
- game 1: Turn 2 7/7 Master of Etherium just killed me in a few turns
- game 2: turn 2 5/5 Master of Etherium kills me a bit more slowly
- game 3: Darn you Master of Etherium !!

Great deck, thanks. I'll add it to the repository.

Note to others: this deck uses cards that are not in 1.18. Do not despair, 1.19 will be here soon XD

It is even deadlier against color decks if you include Etched Champion. Attached is an optimized version. 90% in 100 against the Elf deck. Wow.

Thanks, I updated the deck.

I guess I have to add more anti artifact cards now ...
