The Most Playable Decks, and Why - Destroyer

As everyone constantly strives to build the "perfect" deck, everyone wonders

which deck is best. First of all, you should build a deck to fit your style 
and not just to win. Otherwise you'll end up going with what everyone says, 
taking away from the originality of your deck and the whole point of the 
game - diversity. For those of you who are curious, the most playable decks 
are one-types (All Fire, All Darkness, All Nature), two-types (Light & 
Water, Darkness & Fire, Fire & Light, Darkness & Nature, Nature & Fire), and

the hardest to control: three-types (Pretty much anything will be good).

The most effective of those are the following:

Fire & Light
All Darkness
Darkness & Fire
Light & Water
Fire & Nature
Darkness, Fire, & Nature
Darkness & Nature


Fire & Light focuses on strong attack and strong defense. Nice, but nothing 
extraordinarily unique.

All Darkness isn't very original either since you just write down 3 of each.

Boring.

Darkness & Fire gets interesting since it combines somewhat decent blockers 
(Darkness), monster and hand disruption with strong attack. Nice.

Light & Water decks focus on "bouncing" and strong "guard". Annoying, but 
good.

Darkness, Fire, & Nature decks can be fairly effective if constructed 
properly. You would want to use Nature for mana and mana acceleration ONLY. 
Then use Fire for your attackers. Next use Darkness's blockers, hand 
disruption and monster destruction cards (spells). So in theory, you really 
only have mana cards, spell cards, and attack/blocker monsters. These decks 
will most likely not see much play because your odds are now 1:3 of getting 
the card of the right civilization instead of 1:2 or 1:1.

Darkness & Nature is probably the most deadly. Think about it: all the good 
cards are Darkness cards, but they have the high-cost setback. If you use 
Nature's accelerated mana cards, you could get those good but high-cost 
cards out faster. Seriously people, which civilization has slayers? 
Darkness. Which civilization has all the discard and destroy monster spells?

Darkness. Which civilization has 3-cost 4000-5000 blockers? Darkness! 
There's a ton of potential there as long as you can implement Nature into 
it. Also, you could put in some Dimension Gate to speed up Deathliger, 
Vampire Silphy, Stinger Worm, Gigaberos, etc. Just another thing for all you
