Anyone into trading card games. I always enjoy the search for the most powerful and suitable cards, which is why I pretty much enjoy them, I don't do it regularly anymore seeing as half my friends are down south and the only cards they sale are Yu-gi-oh cards which became lame once Yugioh GX came out.

Anyways I collect magic: the gathering, I have a island/swamp dead which uses other methods of defeat then the classic bronze. It normally works when I destroy cards in the players hands and infect their own creatures to slowly strange their own user, to put it as simple I have an assassination deck. This has proved a problem though for decks that can summon numerous creatures all at once to blitzkrieg me before I have time to corrupt all of them.

Like to note though that one of my best and favourite battles was a win 2/3 game against my best friend. He had a goblin deck that centred around his Aunt bogwart that could revive his goblins seeing as he used kamikaze strategy, that was quite effective seeing as he had lots of cards that brought his Aunt bogwart into play as well as bring his most effective and necessary kamikaze cards.
Normally with an assassination deck against a deck that perfectly relied upon one card would have been easy, but my best mate also had other cards that resurrected his cards. Each match was normally close seeing as it centred around his aunt bogwart, continulessly being slain by all sorts of cards, frozen, poisoned, drained, heck even crushed. He won the first match with his aunt only dying 3 times, though the second match I barely won, I drew most my assassination and discard from hand cards yet very few creature cards, though my mate could hardly do anything considering nearly every turn he used up his mana reviving his aunt bogwart, which kept leaving him open to my attacks. Eventually he did lose, but not without reviving his aunt bogwart fourteen times!
The third match was simple enough, I did draw my best cards but it was all ineffective once my mate went for a different approach. His best kamikaze card that could do 5 damage directly without able to be stopped, kept using it and then resurrecting it over and over. With no monsters for me to corrupt on the field and weak creatures to do any real damage and nothing to stop my mate from keep kamikazing against me, I eventually lost! Though I still killed his aunt another two times in the last match, totalling to dying nineteen times!

I also use to collect Yu-gi-oh before it got lame. I mostly relied upon my barrel dragon and four-starred monsters in my deck and also used methods of slowly strangling the life out of my enemy. Wasn't that many weaknesses to it, seeing as Yu-gi-oh was just a plain simple strategy game that didn't require much thinking or planning (And planning is something I don't like doing), unless someone summoned a really powerful monster card or destroyed my barrel dragon.
