seems like a cool idea.

Started Playing: 1994ish
Favorite format: Whatever lets me play with old cards.
Favorite card: Sinkhole
Playstyle: I like building decks around a theme. I had a black card/land denial deck. Green Red where the stone giants tossed flaming spiders at my opponent. White Red I hurt myself but I hurt you more.
