Second deck questions

[thatoneguy]

I know most of you probably don't care, but I finally finished my first legacy deck. Its taken me about a year, but it has been done!

My question is, I want to start working on getting the pieces for the second one. The three decks I had in mind were:
Affinity-because its cheap and I haven't played agro in a long time
TES or ANT-with belcher being my first deck, these two decks share a lot of the same pieces
Stax-because it is totaly different than the other two.

It will be a working progress to find all the pieces again, probably another half a year to a year depending on which I choose. Now I need help, all three are decks I want to play, and I want to play them an equal amount. Which is more fun and competative enough in your opinion?

Honestly why not work on both affinity is fun and honestly if you dont need it to be your main competitive deck you can get in online enough for casusal play with commons/Lord of Eternium which is like a $3 rare. Storm also has a pauper version that can be enabled super cheaply.

Once you have cheap shells you can upgrade from there based on what you come across trading.

Stax might be a little more labor intensive to put together.

I'd suggest Merfolk. But, if it has to be from that list, then I suggest Affinity. I think Affinity does the best of the three against a blue-based metagame. That way you have two decks to play, one for a blue-based based metagame, and the other (Belcher) to crush metagames not playing enough blue.

I try to always have one viable combo, control, and aggro deck together. Usually there will be some overlap, like both my aggro and control decks using Wasteland, but this way I always have something that I can play in any given metagame and not feel totally like an underdog to the field.

I know it isn't a straight rock/paper/scissors thing, but it's reasonably close.

I always tell people Merfolk since it never seems to go out of style, never gets hated out too much, and it uses few staples from other decks giving you a great foothold into just about anything else, especially the blue decks. Wasteland and Force are the only really super expensive ones to get.

Stax is competitive, but it seems like every match goes to time. It's interesting to play, but whether or not it's "fun" is rather subjective.
