Premade decks please

[Huggybaby]

I would love it if someone would make some decks for Magarena. Some nice premade decks would be a logical addition, and a good place to start would be a card list we could use with Nate's Deck Builder.

I'm playing R/G against U/B and I'm getting beat pretty good. Problem is, U/B has plenty of fliers and deathtouch, and I have almost no counters. I need some more instants like lightning bolt or some X spells, but instants don't seem to pop up much with the current deck generating algorithm.

Now, before someone tells me how easy it is to make my own---that's true, it's just not my thing.

Here's a good one I made to play with:

# 17 creatures
1 Mirror Entity
1 Goblin Wardriver
1 Mogg Fanatic
1 Accorder Paladin
1 Hero of Bladehold
1 Rakdos Guildmage
1 Siege-Gang Commander
1 Suture Priest
1 Veteran Armorer
1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
1 Frenzied Goblin
1 Flametongue Kavu
1 Flame-Kin Zealot
1 Goblin Bushwhacker
1 Goblin Chieftain
1 Goblin Shortcutter
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

# 6 spells
1 Rise of the Hobgoblins
1 Eldrazi Monument
1 Martial Coup
1 Glorious Anthem
1 Incinerate
1 Lightning Bolt

# 7 lands
4 Sacred Foundry
3 Jungle Shrine
5 Plains
5 Mountain

It's pretty ridiculous. I kept to convention and kept all the cards singletons; this makes the deck more varied without having it feel samey.

[Huggybaby]

Awesome, thanks man.

PS Got any more?

[LSK]

I'll put some more together in the morning. Any deck type requests?

[ubeefx]

Cool, I will try the deck.
In Magarena 1.10 there is a command line tool from Melvin that lets the AI play decks against each other.
This might be cool for testing and tweaking decks.

Here's a Jund build:

Note, again, that I'm keeping all cards as singletons, and using 40-card decks. This is just to keep with the trend of the randomly-generated decks. The deck could be made significantly better, but I'm keeping it this way for variance and fun.

It's still far, far better than any of the random decks, so keep that in mind while playing it.

# 16 creatures
1 Putrid Leech
1 Sprouting Thrinax
1 Broodmate Dragon
1 Ashenmoor Gouger

1 Skinrender

1 Chameleon Colossus

# 7 spells
1 Terminate

1 Basilisk Collar

1 Doom Blade

# 12 lands
4 Savage Lands

1 Stomping Grounds
1 Blackcleave Cliffs
1 Dragonskull Summit
1 Blood Crypt
1 Copperline Gorge
2 Forest
2 Mountain

Thanks. I really like the concept of building 40 card decks with singletons. It fits in the game.
Maybe I could add a couple of these custom decks in next releases or put them as a deck pack on the download page.

[Aswan jaguar]

Thanks for the decks as for singleton the game does choose 2 of a kind often or even 3 rarely (1-2times in a lot of games if I remember well).

[ubeefx]

Indeed, it all depends on the random cards it gets. Maximum non land cards is 3 however, depending on "rarity".

[LSK]

This deck's deliberately a bit weaker than the two posted above, and excludes some powerful cards like Baneslayer Angel, which would be very good in the deck. It's still very good relative to the random decks, though.

I make the first post of an Elves deck just extract in the deck folder.

Changed it a little to make it better.

[Huggybaby]

Great job guys, you're really making progress!

Once we get some nice premades, it would be cool to be able to associate a particular deck with a particular avatar. Then e.g.whenever I see Smiley Face #1 I know he'll be playing a black deck, etc.

[LSK]
