Choose my starting colors (for M10)

[chronomaster]

In 1.5 weeks, Magic: The Gathering will have a prerelease for its new core set, Magic 2010 (they're going by year number now instead of edition number). I've normally been a Blue/Red guy, but now I feel I could use a better outlook. So, it's polling time.

I'm choosing the two highest scoring colors when I go and buy the precons, so choose a color for me to get back in the game to.

Also to any dissenters at least this is better than WoW.

[Honest]

Saying something is better than something else seems a little trivial.  We're all nerds here, regardless of game. Just remind anyone who talks shit about their playtime on TF2 or their secret love of Twilight to shut them up.

Also Blue/Red is pretty solid. So long as magic hasn't veered in the last few years from Blue being counter till your eyes bleed then counter some more, and Red being Direct damage / big monsters with stupid effects.

[Neonie]

i bet you can never guess what color I choose.

[Wedge]

No, CCG's are in fact, not in any way, shape, or form better than WoW.  They're probably the only thing more abusive and idiotic than an MMO for people to invest time and money in.

They take the timesink required for a level playing field in an MMO and replace it with absurd amounts of money and random luck.  Now they generally have better actual gameplay, but I much prefer games that just give you all the pieces to start with, or at least don't charge you to collect them (i.e. Culdcept).

Wedge!! You like Twilight too?

Also, never played Magic, did play pokemon though
just picked red because it's my favorite color

Clearly any color other than Green. It's not Green, am I right?

See, I would have picked up DotP just for that, but the problem is they decided to take out the capability of making CUSTOM DECKS. In a CCG. You can't even take out cards when you add new ones to the preset decks. Dear God if I wanted to have bad numbers I'd build a Prismatic deck.

[Luinbariel]

I always ended up with either blue or green or some retarded combination of stuff.

I find blue can be a bit difficult to effectively play and green can be easier.

[Honest]

I got my cards for free, but I had a bitchin' White/Green deck way back when. LOLOL DIMENSIONAL BREECH + THORN ELEMENTAL DD:

[copulatingduck]

i thought this was a favorite colors poll

[Surf314]

Shouldn't you be picking them so they can work together some how?  I'd think it would be harder to gel two random colors without knowing how they'd work together.

Although maybe you enjoy a challenge?

I always used to play Black/Blue/White tri-color decks, or Black/White dual-color decks. I <3'd my heaven and hell deck, I wish I'd kept it.

Also, if anyone would like to buy my cards as a lot, here's a list. PM me an offer and we'll talk business.

My friends and I played Zombie Flux a month ago, it too was epic

Back on topic:

Go green, use Squirrels

Seriously though, the new token rules just made the Squirrel/any token deck have a huge advantage against some certain decks with blue

[Badgerman of DOOM]

I used red/black/blue tricolor deck.
