i used to be my towns best, no joke.
`for those in the know, teferi's moat + Aegis of honor + scalpelexis + absorb= pwnage
but then when i was spending 8 dollars a week (up to 20 sometimes) it hit me that the person with the fattest wallet wins. its not really about strategy but for the ones that have all the shiny rare cards. they even have 2 kinds of leagues: standard and extended. standard forces you to buy new cards when the new set comes in and makes you ligten you wallet. extended is at a metagame right now and will always be at it. blue is too powerful. the only other color that can stand up to it is a speed black necropotence deck which costs a liver and a lung to afford.
magic, and sometimes d2 extremists must realize that its just a game that you have to spend more and more to be good and when you are, what does it do for you?
