Topic: Help Transitioning from 20 year old decks to more modern decks. (3 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Hi, I played magic from the time the game started in Alpha/ Beta till around the time Alliances or Tempest came out. Not sure for sure. Anyway, I've got three decks from the old days and I've made a few changes and I'd like to do more, but my problem is that I just plain don't know the cards anymore. I'm linking three of my decks that are 20+ years old and hoping someone can give me some guidance or tips or advice or anything to help me ease into the modern 2017 era. Here they are:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1705170 Black Land Destruction
https://deckbox.org/sets/1700300 Red/Green Kird Ape
https://deckbox.org/sets/1709125 White Weenie
Any info anyone can give me would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
A King

Topic: Advice on three old decks transitioning to new times (2 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I started playing magic in the early to mid 90s and by about the end of the decade I thought I had finished. I did however keep my three best decks. I recently started playing again and I was wondering if I could get some advice about some of the changes I made or about other changes I could make. Part of my problem is that there have been like fifty kagillion sets put out since I quit. I think the last set I remember was either Alliance or Tempest. I'm going to try and post links to the deckbox pages where I have my decks listed. If that fails I can just type each one out. Anyway, any help would be more then appreciated.
Thank you, and peace.

https://deckbox.org/sets/1705170 - Old style Land Destruction. Pure black, but I'm trying to modernize.
https://deckbox.org/sets/1700300 - Classic Kird Ape deck. Lots of Direct Damage, giant growths, fork, berserk.
https://deckbox.org/sets/1705183 - Another classic. The "White Weenie" deck. Fast creatures for a fast win. I'm seeing some giant holes in it though. I've tried compensating, but let me know what anyone thinks.
Again, Thanks
