How about strategies and things of the like? I always mention I'm kinda new to the game and started in fancy pants card games with YGO. People in YGO usually pick up on decks that pull out ubers or OTKs/FTKs.

Anyway, me being new and my only deck being a weird mixture of exalted effect dudes and angels, the only plan I have is to stack up the field with my paladins and squire dudes then run overhead (if possible) with a flying angel using all of the other cards exalted effects.

I should've just cut my thing short... What kind of wins or strategies do your decks pull off?

I tend to favor the Timmy aggro strategy. I see a lot of players lose simply because they didn't attack. Aggression is the better part of mtg that most people tend to forget.

Tempo is the pace of the game. Tempo decks work by disrupting your opponent's tempo. If you make your opponent's moves not matter, then you should win.

Ohhh. So I guess your deck is pretty fast?

Somewhat. Turn 4-5 kills in Legacy, not really fast. The bigger fact is it makes other decks slower.

Attack with bigger and bigger creatures.

When you say turn do you mean of you turn or complete turn over?

Low cost creatures or building up to big hitters?

I have a few different strategies based on what deck obviously...

I have my Mill Deck, which of course, just mills you day and night occasionally searching through your library to remove key cards before they become a threat... it doesn't stall (except the Plat Angel just in case I'm against a deck that slows everything down)- if it doesn't win it doesn't win, it mills pretty quick most with hedron crabs and terramorphic expanses (will have to keep an eye out for more of the new card I found that does the same thing) a few other things but those are mostly supplemental... 5 here, 13 there, variables to round it out...

my burn deck which has exactly 4 creatures in it- mogg fanatics... centers on furnace and repercussions to multiply damage and assuming my opponent has creatures- kill them and do even more to the player

My secondary sliver deck which is just swarm with slivers... +1/+1, Posion, whatever, the majority of the silivers in it are 1-2 cost, with maybe 5-6 more expensive ones for specific defenses (Ward Sliver, Essence, Brood)

And Elves also swarm- Allies swarm, Vamps drain, Naya pulls a Timmy... I think all my other decks are slower, intended for multiplayer casual... where my strategy is usually to look just strong enough no one wants to attack me, but pretend to be too weak to be a threat until I'm ready to Johnny the whole field... (Johny= outrageous combos)

Edit- also I have my Phage Deck.. it has mostly shadow or things that make stuff shadow/unshadow while centering around playing a hasted Phage and getting Whispersilk Cloak on her (Shroud+Unblockable)
