I used to play a blue deck I called "the poke deck." It was half mana and half everything else. While others were struggling to get out their first creature, I had an army of Tims and Ornithopters and shit just poking them for one mana at a time. I have actually killed with an Ornithopter. LOL
A friend made an artifact deck designed to destroy mana just to beat my poke deck. Well I had 35 mana in that deck so I still won, and he was so mad he dismantled that deck. 😂
