Up until now, I've been doing pretty back, but I've slowly been getting a handle on both deck building and how to actually play this game with all its subtleties.
Two weeks ago, I had a 3-1-1 using a Grixis Dragon Control deck:
Creature (10)
- 1x Dragonlord Kolaghan
- 1x Dragonlord Silumgar
- 1x Dragonmaster Outcast
- 2x Icefall Regent
- 2x Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury
- 1x Silumgar, the Drifting Death
- 2x Thunderbreak Regent
Instant (15)
Land (27)
- 4x Bloodstained Mire
- 6x Island
- 1x Mountain
- 4x Polluted Delta
- 3x Smoldering Marsh
- 4x Sunken Hollow
- 5x Swamp
Sorcery (5)
Planeswalker (3)
Sideboard (15)
It's pretty fun to play, though control takes a while to get the hang of. I like this deck because it gives me lots of decisions to make while I'm trying to survive until the late game when my dragons can take over.
I like dragons. They are fun. Fun with fire. And sometimes ice.
This past week, I went 3-2, which I also am happy with (I'll take a winning record any day), with a mono-black aggro warrior deck.
Creature (28)
Land (20)
Instant (6)
Sorcery (6)
Sideboard (15)
This deck is really fast and really fun. And also pretty consistent and can do well with only a few mana. Grave Strength is a card no one expects, and sometimes makes people angry.
FNM at my local store is $6 to play, and no matter your record at the end of the night you get a booster pack (a.k.a. a Pity Pack). But 2 wins gets you 3 packs, 3 gets you 4, etc. I've finally started winning packs with my winning records!
I even opened some decent cards this week.
