You're going to regret getting rid of that Wasteland when your friends rope you into playing legacy.
(Sounds like a good deal, actually.)

Na still have 4 from the deck I played with it for a PTQ in the 90's. For some strange reason I kept all my PTQ decks that I ever qualified for the Pro Tour with. Still sleeved in the deck box I bought at the PTQ. Was a mono red Tempest constructed block qualifier. So it had burn goblins, sandstalkers, suquata lancers, burn and wastelands. I lost 2 games total that day, not matches but games. Then went 4-3 at Pro Tour Chicago 98 extended.

Gents,
Looking for a couple ideas on new decks to make; ideally Standard or Modern (my current decks don't fit these models)
As I look through what I've got, 3/4s of them are aggro of some kind and whenever I think of new decks to make (new color combos, really) they always seem to end up with the same formula: must be fast, must have card draw or mana ramp.
Here's what I've got currently for decks: 60s = B/U mill, B aggro, B/G aggro, U/W aggro, U/R burn, G elf/surge, U/G aggro. Commanders = Kaalia, Riku, Nekusar.
I was thinking about a W/B spirit 60 and a Sydri/artifact commander since I've never had an artifact deck and it wouldn't be so similar (one of the reasons I love Nekusar is it's different from my other stuff).
Bottom line is, I'm comfortable with speed and that's what I think every deck needs. However, I know that's not the case all the time. SO, ideas for stepping out of the (my) norm? Thanks!

Aggro decks need not only to be explosive but also need reach to close out a game after a sweeper or a showstopping set of blockers.
Midrange decks need to make sure every threat is a potential game ender against control.
Control decks need answers to every expected deck and enough draw spells to find the one you need.
There, that's everything you ever needed to know about any standard format. If your deck doesn't pass the appropriate above tests, it sucks.
As for commander, everyone should probably own either a Maelstrom Wanderer or Prime Speaker deck.
Sometimes you just have go get large.

I'll concede I'm new to standard rules because I don't follow the tournament scene, or participate in it. But, as far as deck building is concerned, my decks win. I've been playing since Beta - with a break in purchasing any cards between Invasion and Theros, however. One of our play group has Wanderer so I wouldn't want to copy that. Basically, I'm looking for deck ideas that don't revolve around speed/aggro like most of my current decks. Casual, fun, competitive, w/e. Just ideas from other MTG addicts.Aggro decks need not only to be explosive but also need reach to close out a game after a sweeper or a showstopping set of blockers.

My favorite drafts/sealed were Lorwyn/Morningtide & Eventide/Shadowtide. The Leiges and the hybrid mana cards were just too much fun. You had some ridiculous shit too, so it was really exciting to draft and watch your deck come together. Also won a huge event in London with an Oona sealed that was a lot of fun.
