They can't just have a site where you just pick--"i have this and this and this"--or people would just pick all the awesome cards and build all-powerful decks. The problem with that being that no cards are all-powerful, and every deck can be countered if you know its contents & what you're doing. |

but there are definitely certain cards that everyone drools over, correct? I'm guessing as best I can from what I've seen and heard of my Magic-playing friends. So that's actually it? You can pick any cards you want? I'm surprised it works out.

There are some better cards, yeah, but generally they require high casting costs, if you are lucky enough to get them out. Some people will build entire decks based around getting a certain card or set of cards into play that play really well and win them the game, but getting a deck to do this requires intelligence, getting the cards in the right order requires luck, and surviving long enough to get the card(s) into play requires skill. Plus, what happens if two beings with almost infinite power have a fight - just think of most films: you end up with an awesome battle.  |

what format do you play? standard, extended or type 1?
That makes a lot of difference on the decks not to mention how powerful one can be.

in type 1 you can use cards from alpha-mirrodin(the last expansion) with a few exceptions, extended goes from tempest to mirrodin, and type 2(also known as standard) uses the last large edition(8th)and the last two block cycles (onslaught block and mirrodin). Hope you understand...........

:miffed: Why can't they just have "all cards", "only current cards", or "cards from series X"?
