    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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

    That answer of mine was one usual phrase of one usual Sourcer.
    I think I'd be able to make some FoWless fetchless UR Delver build, but I guess it won't be a real schlager.
    That or some kind of GW aggro. With nine fetchlands, so in the GW department here I rule.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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!

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    I have a playset of everything that has been played in Legacy (in tier 1, 2 3 and only by me ) 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 )

    Miracles
    Dredge
    MonoU OmniTell

    (casual friends HATE them )

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.
    Kagu-Tsuchi カグツチ (Jund NicFit)
    Rhino's Abbondanza (Junk NicFit)

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    Death and Taxes, Miracles, Chalice Merfolk and Burn are generally all built at once. I can and sometimes do build various UWx Stone/deathblade decks, Maverick, BURg Delver, and various goofy stuff involving cards like Braids Cabal Minion, Patron Wizard, Fauna Shaman or Edric Spymaster of Trest.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.
    Play 4 Card Blind!

    Currently Playing
    Legacy: Dark Depths
    EDH: 5-Color Hermit Druid

    Currently Brewing: [Deck] Sadistic Sacrament / Chalice NO Eldrazi

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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).
    Humphrey is always correct.

    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.

    Interchanging cards between decks, by using the same sleeves, seems to be a common approach as well.

    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.

    I have 4 decks right now. Enchantress which never gets taken apart, RUG lands, miracles and zoo for my non legacy friends to play.

    Re: How many decks do you have laying around?

    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
