Lightening Bolt!

Lately I have been playing a lot of Magic: The Gathering with my friends.

Magic is a trading card game which is loosely based on characters in a set of fictional novels.  With the arrival of Inistrad this fall I've gotten back into teh swing of things and have made several new decks.

One is a solar flare deck for which my friend gave me the idea.  The deck is a blue/black/white which relies on Sun Titans, Phantasmal Images, Lord of the unreals, and spells to return creatures from teh graveyard to play or to your hand.  The deck also has 4x Day of Judgement and 4x Divine Reckoning to help clear teh field, as well as  a couple targeted creature destruction.  The deck works well and often has 3x phantasmal images in play as copies of sun titan to lay a beating on my opponents.  It is also handy to have snapcaster mages to flashback day of jedgement or divine reckoning.  Divine reckoning already has a flashback cost, but it is one mana cheaper with snapcaster mage.

Also took apart a green/black creature control deck to make a red/black burn/creature control deck.  It works out nicely so far in multi-player although I have not tried it on a 1v1 match.  The basic idea of the deck is to put out deathtouch creatures or small creatures to ping while burning and destroying the opponents with shock, incinerate, doomblade and go for the throat.  The deck is flushed out with the 2012 Chandra and a few other burn spells.
