Which Choice is Best?

I've recently received $100 for Magic cards due to some complications involving a lost Affinity deck. I intend to do one of the following, but I don't know what would be best;

• Re-buy Affinity. This is an iffy option. Affinity isn't that great in Legacy and I never play Extended.
• Finally get a play set of Force of Wills. Force is a pricey card, if I get four of them all at once with a surplus of money, it won't feel as bad. Force would open up an entire color, but how much more of a huge investment would it require?
• Buy Ichorid. Ichorid is a good deck.
• Buy a Storm deck. I'm not sure if $100 is enough for Fetchland Tendrils, the primary deck I'm looking at with this.
• ??? Quinn is an option I guess. I'm open to suggestions.

It also may be worth noting that the only duals/fetches I have are Tundras/Flooded Strands.

post the rest of your relevant collection. Forces aren't terribly useful if you don't have the associated fetchlands and duals unless you're playing Faerie Stompy or draw-go.

Stuff for Wildfire.dec
Dragon Stompy stuff (Chrome Mox, 2 lands)
Burning Wish
Storm stuff (5c lands, Rituals, draw fours)
Extended Heartbeat Desire (Gifts and… Brain Freeze?)
Stax stuff (everything except Mox Diamonds)
High Tide stuff (all except Forces and Resets)
Tundras and Flooded Strands
And a bunch of other stuff that can’t be easily grouped in a category.

Lion’s Eye Diamonds seems like the best overall. It brings me closer to my goal of Ichoid and Storm decks.

Yeah, LEDs would be a pretty good choice.

Truth. Then you could be a man and play TES.

If I do go LEDs, what money cards would I be missing for TES? I've got Chome Moxen and Burning Wishes.

2 Ad Nausem is $6-10.
4 Infernal Tutor should be under $10.
Tendrils and IGG are both a few dollars, so are Lotus Petals.

Quinn is pretty busted, I'm not going to lie. I don't even remember the last time I lost on MWS with that thing.

On the other hand, most people seem to find it grating to play, and it also makes people want to murder you.

They're only 45$ a piece.

You could build LED-less Ichorid for super cheap which IMOP is better. However, I would buy LEDs simply because you can now play Belcher, TES, Ad Nauseam stuff. That is assuming you want to play a combo deck to begin with. Otherwise I would try to get a playset of some fetchlands if you don't already have them.

Fetches are boring. When someone suddenly gets money, they don't invest it in something practical; they spend it won something lavish like a prostitute/PEZ dispenser.

1x Moat, 2x Grindstone, 4x Scrying Sheets.


You know you want to.

Would I really have to buy the Grindstones? That and Orim's Chants are the only reasons I haven't gotten that deck yet.

You could get Endless Horizons and Belcher if you want the deck to suck.

You could run Mesa instead, I suppose, but you're more likely to lose to time and/or the random Aggro Loam/Survival matchup. Especially if you're not practiced with the deck.

Probably won't be worth it to rebuy Affinity, especially without Forces.


100 is not nearly enough for Fetchland Tendrils, which needs Underground Seas, almost by definition.

The Epic Storm runs about 200 completed, but you're likely to have some of the important parts.

I recommend lots of goldfishing of TES before you spend money on it. I know people who have bought the deck and are terrible with it, so they shelf it. Make sure you want and know how to play what you invest in.

100 in cards. i would recommend the following things if you like the following archtypes

1) combo
Buy 4 LED and 4 chrome moxes, you will not be upset and you will inevitably get the remaining important cheeper cards.

2) control/aggro control
4 Force of wills, you cannot play blue without them

3) aggro If you dont have goyfs now is the time to come up with the cash.

Other notes, ig you buy the forces save up and slowly buy the 8 U/x fetches, along with 2-4 of each blue dual and you will have the power to build alot of aggro control decks in the format.

We all know 4 tarmogoyf increase power of any deck in the format :)

so get 4 of them, and you can play aggro, aggro-control!

cards like LED/Fow/Fetch and all are not necessary when you are starting a new deck. Especially if you are not sure if you are going to stay combo forever. Goyf at least can go in a wide range of decks
