Popular magic playstyles!

Hello everyone,

so in this post I will be talking about 3 different popular playstyles for the magic god, explaining the idea behind them and how to use them and mention the important cards that are close to irreplaceable in each deck!

Each deck will also vary in budget requirement. First playstyle will be the cheapest, second medium and the third one will be the most costly.

So if you're new to the game and love to use magic deck and been struggling to find the suitable playstyle for you and your cards, stick around maybe this will help you!

First Playstyle:

Zoo Magic:

The first playstyle I am going to talk about will be classic Zoo Magic playstyle. This playstyle focus on controlling the board as much as possible with your creatures, while supporting them with your damage spells and wiping the opponent creatures without having to sacrifice yours.

It's a simple playstyle and very cheap at the same time since you can use any strong creatures available for you.

This type of playstyle will not be efficient in very high ranks but it should get you a bunch of wins anywhere from midnight shadow to solar gold if played correctly.

Deck Example:

Important Card for this playstyle:

Illuminate, Wyrmbreath, Mind Jolt and Epiphany:

 " " \"First playstyle.jpg\"""

These cards are very important and can only be replaced by cards with so similar effect like for example: Epiphany with Astric Implosion.

However, all other card can be replaced with any creature with similar stats or effects.

Second Playstyle:

Spell damage:

The second playstyle is the one I use mostly personally.

It is based on keep on wiping the board as fast possible with you damage spells, avoid taking a lot of face damage early to mid game as possible either with your normal or frontline creatures , and then dominate the late game with strong beasts and support them with you spells.

This playstyle can help you anywhere from solar gold to mythic, but it can't compete much in mythic ranks, so you might struggle a bit when you reach there maybe hold on for a week and then drop and rank up again.

This playstyle does not require a big budget and is personally so fun for me and I advise any magic lover to try it and maybe polish it to make the best version out of it!

Example Deck:

Important Cards:

In addition to the previous cards mentioned in the first playstyle, this playstyle also have Starshard bolt, Tracking Bolt and Ratify as so important cards:

With the combination of any strong, mid (preferably magic related) and late game beasts, this playstyle should be quite effective.

Final Playstyle:

Aether Damage:

This playstyle is the most effective, luxurious and advanced among all these playstyles.

It basically depends on huge combination plays with all Aether cards in your deck varying from damage roars, drawing Aether creatures effects and buffing those Aether creatures as well.

This playstyle require a big budget because of all the important cards required for it, but it can compete in high ranks if mastered correctly.

Example Deck:

 " " \"Aether damage.jpg\"""

Important Cards:

Important cards are Defend the ramparts, Dimension Looper, Mana auditor, Planetar Centaurion, Planetar Sage, Rebirth Planetar.

 " " \"Third playstyles.jpg\"""

So basically this playstyle is costly because such cards are so important to make it work.

But remember, as important as it is to have a good, strong deck, it is important to master it and know the goal and though process behind it. So playing a certain deck for the first time might not give the expected result. However, with consistency, practice and always trying to improve and polish the deck itself it can reward you greatly!

Conclusion:

So the goal behind this post was to help any new or confused player find the playstyle that he thinks suit him and his cards.

However, remember that a lot of other playstyles exist for the magic god and even among these 3 playstyles exists a lot of versions! So keep polishing, keep trying until you find THE playstyle for you! That's the beauty of this game is that it can never make you stop of going wild with your imagination!

I will be doing a similar post for each god hopefully I can be of help for anyone.

Thanks for reading, mad love and peace out <3

Great informational post. I look forward to seeing your other posts similar to this one about the other gods. If possible in the future posts let us know if you built these decks yourself or give a nod to the person or persons who may have inspired the deck. I know each deck is always a variation of some other deck. But we are just trying to shout each other out in this community. And raise each other up so that we all me be successful and get credit for the content we put out. Keep up the great work you are heading down a great path on the platform.

The example decks in this post were built by me but actually not tried, the purpose of them was like a template about the playstyle because the decks can be build in many different ways for the same playstyle because my main purpose was to deliver the concept behind each playstyle. You gave me a good idea though to make a deck for each playstyle and try it then post it as a viable tested one so thank you for that and I would love to hear any suggestions. And thanks for the support brother <3 and hope you get your faeflame blade soon :p

Great to hear. Making an original deck now is a hard thing to do. Or let me say an original deck that wins lol. Yea if you did a play guide on each of the decks you mentioned above you could have three additional posts. And then do each god like that. You are looking at some serious content. Ah yes the Fae Flame blade. It is my nemesis that is for sure.

we'll soon see an end to a legendary fight between you and the blade!

Nice! Those are some solid decks. My two personal favorite magic decks I e built are called Super Structures and Spell Hell. I'm sure you can figure out what super structures is like, but spell hell only features a Jason and a Demetrios for creatures, everything else is spells. It's won at mythic surprisingly lol

Damn I would love to try a deck with all spells wonder how it'll workout. If you can send me the deck code id appreciate it <3
