My 75th deck. Wanted to go back to when I started playing Magic. I bought my first cards back around 2000. It was a Portal Starter Set. It had a Wrath of God! I remember the card getting lost behind my dresser for over a year. The Entire concept behind Portal was to teach players how to play Magic. And in that spirit, a lot of the game/cards were simplified. Even though the game/cards may of been "dumbed" down doesn't mean there weren't some very powerful cards in the Portal expansion. Fun facts about Portal:--Creatures had no creature type. --There were no Instants, Enchantments, or Artifacts in Portal!!!--Creatures had sword/shield symbol to represent for power/toughness.--215 cards (55 rare, 55 uncommon, 85 common)--Older set, so no gold symbol for rare/silver for uncommon. --Nicknamed "Harvey" after the famous play/movie because team who designed Portal Expansion was confused about the expectations/what Portal was trying to achieve.--Magazines did not have price guides (for the most part) for Portal cards, in the early days, even though now some Portal Cards are pricey. --Not a legal expansion until 2005 when the expansion was sanctioned for Legacy and Vintage tourneys. --Portal cards/expansion was actually seen on MTV in commercials designed to introduce people to Magic the Gathering. So, Deck Description: Deck designed around Portal expansion.
Black/Blue Control.Very crude and simple version of control for a beginning player. 1) You have major interaction with Man-o'-War/Gravedigger/Dry Spell in this deck. Use them correctly to keep destroying then bouncing your creatures from your hand/graveyard into the game doing various effects against your opponents. 2) Cruel Tutor is amazing. Also 50 dollars of the decks 80 dollar price tag. Remove if you want to go budget. He basically fetches you any of your 23 sorcery cards. He gets you what you NEED. 3) Black Control with 9 discard spells and 7 creature hate cards.4) Blue Control with 9 disruption spells that hinder/slow down your opponent. How to Win: Keep stalling your opponent through forcing your opponent to discard/disrupting their spells/destroying their creatures as well as using Man-o'-war/Gravedigger/Dry Spell to keep recycling your creatures to control the board. Winning creature is your pretty Ebon Dragon.

Each Portal booster contained one of ten different strategy cards with deck-building tips. There are 5 strategies described in all, one for each of the five friendly color pairs. Each of these five strategies has two different versions. : White/Blue — Air Superiority Blue/Black — Card Domination Black/Red — Fiery Doom Red/Green — Gargantuans Green/White — The Horde Obviously, if you looked over the "How to Play" section you know I went with the Card Domination strategy. Anyone card to try your hand at one of the other 4 strategies?
