  • Weekly MTG Challenge: Mirror Entity


    This card should allow for a great deal of variation.  Your challenge for this week is to construct a deck around this card:



    Recall that some helpful resources are Gatherer and Magic Workstation.  The format we use will be Legacy.  The deadline for submissions will be this coming Thursday.

    Submit your decklist in the comments and feel free to ask for help.  Either Dr. Dave or myself will be happy to help.

    Also, as a bonus and just for social fun, list which color on the MTG wheel best suits your personality and also which one you prefer to play with.



    Obviously, I think I'm blue with some white splashed in.  I'm not a terrible fan of order from a standpoint of law (my friends all accuse me of being chaotic good, for all you table toppers out there), but I take morality very seriously.  When I play I tend to perform best with blue decks.  If I splash other colors I tend to splash white and green.

    Good luck and happy building!

    I think my personality mostly goes with Blue, maybe some White also.

    But in the past I was most successful with Red+Green decks.  I mainly went for cheap creatures, mostly Green, and then used some tricks like Giant Growth to make the creatures suddenly larger.  That one 2/2 critter getting through could abruptly do quite a bit of damage.  Then maybe finish you off with a Lightning Bolt.  I had too much trouble playing with Blue because it took longer to get going.

    @EricBeck - Make a deck!  Make a deck!  :)

    @Zerowing21 - I started looking at the idea of doing so.

    However, White is my weakest color.
    Also, I can't find many cards at all (in my collection) where creature type matters to justify that card.
    So the only use I see for it is an option to pump a lot of creatures up.  Which could possibly be helpful with a bunch of small critters, which I do have some limited options for mainly with Green.  Okay, maybe I have an idea to work with after all.

    I had thoughts of trying Blue+White to go with the personality thing, but I don't think that would work out well at all.

    @EricBeck - The solution is magic workstation. I own zero cards - all my decks are virtual.  And gatherer (or me, or Dave) can help you find the cards you need.  :)

    Off the top of my head, I would have made a Blue-White counter/weenie deck. Having just found this site, though, I am many months too late.
