I feel like I am a Johnny/Vorthos/Spike. My main focus is deck building and showing off those combinations which is Johnny. And with that I love having my deck and seeing all the little pieces come together and succeed as a whole which is Vorthos. And not gonna lie, if I don't win, I get pissed which is the Spike in me!!

A player's experience has nothing to do with what it is they enjoy in the game. Player's can even change what they like over time.

I make a deck that is not particularly popular and involves a s***loAd of strategy that often wins games but can be messed up easily even if one thing is out of place or put on the stack in the wrong order.

Sounds Johnny/Spike to me. 👍

I got started when I joined the swim team at my school a couple years ago. The entire team played, well over 15 people. In the beginning I just loved playing and noticing combos in the more expierianced guys decks. I got complimented many times for noticeing things others didn't. After four years, now all I hope is that some day I can be as good as the seniors that taught me the wonderful game of magic the gathering. I'm a jester, leaning more towards the spike side of the eqaution, because I want to live up to my mentors teaching, an to someday be like the jester or Piotr or any of those guys.

I'm Johnny/Spike/Vorthos. I love building different decks. (By different I mean Odd/Tribals) And I love winning with them. And at the core of it all, it's about the feel of the game. I love being immersed in the stories of Magic. An expansive creation with endless possibilities. 11 years of enjoying this grand game (Granted I stopped for a bit.) And still it intrigues me.

I'm a Johnny/Timmy, but with a sizeable helping of Melvin and Vorthos on the side.

Malleo

When I first started I was 11 and I was a full on Timmy, I took every big card I got and stuck it in my deck because what they did sounded cool. Now I'm more of a Timmy/spike/Melvin
