A friend finally got me to try Magic: The Gathering, a collectible-card game I had opposed because I thought the winners were simply the ones willing and able to spend the most to get the best cards. Now I understand that there are so many different cards (and different types of strategies), that it's impossible to construct one deck which will win in all situations, so it's a lot of fun weighing between strategies and composing theme decks to try them out. The following table shows the core cards in my favorite decks (subject to change; suggestions welcomed). Currently I'm trying to put together forced-attack, can't-block and artifact/green decks. I may later work on a card-eating deck. You can see lots of decks others have put together at the Library of Dominia.
