K. Lignelli's Magic Theory
Subject: Advanced Magic Theory 101
Warning: very advanced topics - your brain may explode.
We have categorized every single Magic Deck type into 2 categories.
Thats right, two (2).  These categories are not absolute, but
rather a Scale.  Think of this scale as similar to Acid----Base.
The two categories are:
1. Stomper
2. Monger
STOMPER
   The Stomper class of deck has only one purpose - to pummel
 away your lives in order to kill you.  This is Direct, either
 in the form of Direct Damage (Blaster), or Creatures (weenie,
 Djinn, etc.)
MONGER
   The Monger class of deck attempts to prevent you from playing
 the game of Magic.  Permission, Land Destruction, Hand Destruction,
 Stasis (both Stasis and Vise Age) are prime examples.
As I said, these categories form a scale, like so:
                  KEN'S MAGIC SCALE OF SCIENCE !
MONGER-------------------------|--------------------------STOMPER
(ta dada Ta!) (Bill Nye in joke...)
I would now like to rate some common decks on this scale.
 1. Land Destruction
 2. Hand Destruction
 3. Permission
 4. White Weenie
 5. Red Blaster
 6. Stasis
 7. Vise Age
 8. Manabarbs/Power Surge
 9. Pestilence
10. Djinn
MONGER-------------------------|--------------------------STOMPER
      1  3   6  7    2         8  9          5       4  10
In other words, 1,2,3,6,7 are types of Monger decks, to varying
degrees.  They prevent you from actually playing the game.
4,5,9 + 10 generally just hurt you.  8 is quite unique, in that
its method of hurting directly corresponds to its ability to
prevent you from playing - sort of a "Pay to play" kinda deck.
You could rate a Poison Deck, Wombat deck, Merfolk, Gobbo,
Theft, Poker or any kind of deck on this scale.
(Did you get brain freeze? ;) )
Please feel free to ask me all kinds of questions on the Scale.
