So, out of curiositeit, the title says it all: how many decks do you have, that you can pick up without having to take another deck apart/ proxy more then two cards?
Or do most people have one deck, and after a while just trade it away in favor of the next deck?
I think I have 3 decks assembled right now that might share a few sideboard cards between them. But they are mostly different strategies, I don't have multiple playsets of anything (I think they are High Tide, Imperial Painter, and Lands IIRC).
Have all the things for miracles, elves and Shardless on me right now
I really don't know why I didn't leave shardless and elves with the rest of my stuff but I do
Cardwise - 7 decks. Elves, 12Post, Goblins, Affinity, Reanimator, Miracles and Enchantress.
I'm kinda like a dragon though, I'd never sell or permanently trade away cards not even basic lands. What I have, I keep.
Since I'm only at one set of duals, I think I only have 6-7 decks assembled, but in terms of non-dualed out decks, maybe 15 and 2-3 Vintage?
-Matt
Currently 2, Golddigger and Death and Taxes. They share my FBB German Swords to Plowshares. I theoretically use another playset of swords so that there is no overlap, but they just look better. But Death and Taxes will get taken apart, since I need Wastelands/Revokers for Vintage Workshop, as well as a few cards for Alesha EDH.
I have the full set of duals and an extra set of Volcs because Volcs are the most played duals.
I have 2 playset of Forces and Wastelands though, since these are staples in everything. I generally can field 2 blue decks at a time along with 1 non blue deck.
I usually will have 1 Uwr deck (Miracles, Pyroblade, Delver or Stoneblade), 1 other blue deck (Rug, Sneak Show, Reanimator, Storm or Bug) and a non blue deck (Jund, Gw Maverick, Team Italia, 4c loam control, MUD) sleeved up at one time.
I can pull them out and switch decks during play tests without swapping out cards which saves time.
ANT, Maverick, Miracles, Shardless BUG, Elves, Infect, MUD, Burn, Painter, Lands, Enchantress, and Reanimator (converting to Sneak Attack next week).
I don't have decks for any other formats though (no Power/Shops/Bazaars for Vintage, no interest in Standard, and sold my Modern cards after the last B&R update).
Recently sold my Elves deck so normally i have close to 2 decks.
I can sleeve up basically any blue legacy deck by now, barring some combo decks.
Currently I have Bug Delver sleeved up, but normally I have some UWR variant (miracles, delver or blade) and foodchain, since they share only fows and to some degree cliques as expensive cards.
Considering purchasing a few additional fetches and forces along with missing pieces for a few decks, but since I play exclusively with nonfoil, first edition german cards it is a bit expensive(fbb duals etc) and sometimes a bit hard to find at a reasonable price lvl.
Jup, it's the same here :laugh:Quote:

now im playing 4 years of magic and legacy and now i have :
ANT, TES, All delver version, All stoneblade verdions, Miracles, 12- Post and High Tide+ the nicest deck evaa Pyroloam;))
Next thing is i will grap some berserks for infect;)
Just death and taxes.
As long as i'm having fun with this deck (since 2010), I won't change :)
Uwr Delver/UR Delver/Miracles, with a shared manabase (fbb german lands).
Played my first Legacy tournament in 2006 (with IvanPei above, though he was a veteran then)
Currently, have: 12 FOW, 17 wastelands, and assorted duals and fetches... Sorted my cards into:
Lands (complete RUG and Fastlands, both. My fav decks)
BUG pieces (shardless and tempo)
UWR pieces (miracles and SFM-based)
D&T
Combo
Duals and Fetches
Last played in 2011... Lent almost all of those cards out since then up until late 2014. Still frequent The Source and Salvation though. C'est La (busy) Vie.
Just one: Elves.
I have Team America, ANT and Carsten's Dragon deck proxied up.
The question makes no sense to me. I don't have decks, I have cards.
Well, let me try to rephrase: which decks of you have sleeved up, and are standard at disposal?Quote:

UWR Delver is my go to legacy deck at the moment.
In commander I love the cards in the Oona deck, but playing Godo gives me a warm feeling in my heart <3
I've had Death and Taxes just sitting in my bag for no reason, while I've been playing Team America. I usually have a Vintage deck built too, always something Blue.
Lately I've had a Modern deck in the bag too, 4c Gifts, plus my foil Rhy EDH deck.
Outside the bag, ANT is sitting on the my deck built aside from the board, which I never got around to getting together since I've never actually played the deck.
I don't have as many Duals as I used to though, since I am trying to turn my extra Revised ones in the FBBs.
I had almost every legacy staple in playset, but get rid of 90% of my collection about 2 years ago when prices were half of nowadays.
About half a year ago I started to play at tournaments again.
First with Burn, then with UG Infect, but after last bannings I sold Noble Hierarchs to purchase Dark Confidants instead, because they were on same price level and I expected value drop. Now Im few cards short to finish BW Deadguy Ale. I will purchase Nobles after they will be reprinted in Modern Masters 2015.
So Im close to three separate decks, but only Burn is complete:)
EDIT: I like different colours spread between my decks and also aggro, combo and control is represented.
I have 4 competitive decks sleeved up with cards being shared between them (thanking myself for using the same sleeves for all my decks)
Miracles
AnT
Death and Taxes
RUG Scapeshift (Modern)
An unpowered cube at about 800 cards also in the same sleeves as my decks just in case I need to borrow something from my cube :smile:
How many Legacy "decks" do you own?
Just Blood Moon.dec
:tongue: That answer of mine was one usual phrase of one usual Sourcer.Quote:

That or some kind of GW aggro. With nine fetchlands, so in the GW department here I rule.
Currently Assembeled :
Legacy - 3 : MUD, a UB Dragon list I am tinkering with for fun, and Spanish Inquisition, can build pretty much any of the current Delver, Storm and Show and Tell decks as well as Miracles (which is mostly assembled but the fetches and FoWs were moved to other decks), Reanimator and Stoneblade however.
Modern - 4 : Abazan , UR Storm, Merfolk (which I have everything to convert to Legacy), and Affinity
Standard - 1 : Temur Large creatures.deck (I like to keep 1 std deck unless something catches my attention, been mostly nothing for the last few rotations)
EDH - 2 : Using Captain Sissay and Scion of the Ur-Dragon as commanders.
I am thinking about building a Tinl Leaders deck or 2 as well.
I have 10 dual lands , 20 fetches , 8 force of wills and brainstorms etc. At the moment I have omnitell + BUG Landstill assembled. Also got all solidarity cards so I could switch between that and omnitell... Oh and I have Food Chain Elves in beautiful pink sleeves , but that propably doesnt count as a deck xD
So if I wanted to build as many decks as I can all at the same time?
Elves
Painter
Burn
Lands
Patriot Delver
Grixis Control
Jund
TES
Dredge
The only cards I would need to share would be the Forces and Therapy. Everything else is stand alone.
Legacy:
Goblins
T.E.S.
OmniTell
Modern:
Pif
Amulet.
All ready to be played, no switch needed. Especially for those pesky fetches!
I, too, have all of my cards and sideboard options sleeved using the same sleeve type--mainly because my decks share many cards.
I can build:
RUG Delver
BUG Delver
Shardless BUG
BUG Nic Fit
Modern RUG Delver
Modern Gifts
But I can only build one of those decks at a time... Well, maybe Nic Fit and RUG at the same time.
You should have made this a poll. Would have been fun data to have.
I currently have 2 full decks ready to go. I'm always toying with bits and pieces for varying formats otherwise.
I have a playset of everything that has been played in Legacy (in tier 1, 2 3 and only by me :tongue:) but nothing in multiple playsets. I always have many decks mounted because I often invite non-Legacy friends to play the only one real format, but almost every deck has some proxies. I mount a full deck only when I go to tournaments. Today the menu offers:
RG Lands (my deck of choice ATM)
Sylvan Plug
Maverick (Living Wish + Vial)
Goblins
RUG Delver
BUG Delver
UWR Delver
RUGb Cascade
(you know, casual friends like aggro :smile:)
Miracles
Dredge
MonoU OmniTell
(casual friends HATE them :laugh:)
Recently i sold of a large portion of my collection and bought a new (used) car with the money. What i have remain is:
Jund NicFit
MUD (both Cloudpost and Welder)
UB Tezzeret
UWr Miracles
Mono U OmniShow
I am getting rid of OmniShow as we speak. Having to much decks assembled gives you headaches. Never know what to play. But having played nearly anything i know what NOT to play. Now prepping and pimping Jund NicFit for GP Lille. The rest i play for fun. Also might assemble back TinsFins since out of all combo decks this one reminds me the most of the combo of yore.
Aah, didn't know there already was a thread :smile: Still, it could be different, with all those prices going through the roofQuote:

currently I have ~ 8 legacy decks built (2x sneak and show, ANT, Dark depths, Esper, Team America, Merfolk, Belcher) and ~6 edh decks all that I could pick up. If I wanted to build more decks that are of tier quality such as enchantress or elves I could without proxy, even though they are not currently built. My limiting factor is sleeves and the desire to play other decks. I have ant, belcher, menfolk, and Jesper built just to test against.
I have ~2x sets of duals and more than 2x sets of fetches (1 foil), mainly because i haven't sold my non foil set.
i ended up stockpiling staples because I had acu=quired them first, then purchased their foil counterparts, and never got around to selling the rest. It worked out well because now my wife plays and having ~sets of staples helps.
Currently jap'ing out my storm decks (TES, ANT, DD), which are my main love atm; besides that, I have DnT, some delver decks (RUG, BUG, UWR), Dredge and a few random pet decks. Also bought some stuff for Dragon recently.
Modern - Turbo Time - the only fun deck in the format imo
Vintage - pretty much everything with proxy power :P
EDH - bunch of foils for a bunch of decks, currently running Kruphix.
I'm surprised about how many people apparently have multiple blue decks ready to play - owning at least 8 Forces seems to be a common approach :P
I only got 1 deck build at a time, which right now is Miracles. I also have the option to run any Blade deck, Thresh, Merfolk, UR Delver and probably a couple more that I can't think of right now. Owning cards 8 to 12 times is cool, but you can only run one deck at any given tourney, so... I keep all my cards in the same kind of sleeves, so I can easily interchange them. Of course I can also build a couple of Modern decks (Twin, UWR, Junk/Jund) and a whopping 1 Vintage deck (Delver).
That is my impression as well. While I can understand people having a full set of Duals, and then some (perhaps a full set) more, having more FoW surprised me as well. But it seems U is the main color of choice, so in retrospect, having more then 4 of one particular U-staple doesn't sound that weird at all.Quote:

Yeah, I hear that. I am a bit of a hoarder, although I do occasionally shrink my collection by losing lots of cards, which always hurts my heart place, but it may be for the best.Quote:

I can have 3-4 decks at the same time. DNT/ANT/Sneakshow/Burn
In theory I can build nearly all the decks playable in current meta except lands, mud, reanimator and elves
