- 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.
