awesome mon
i keep my 2 decks 40-45
1 with a perfect estrategy ( if u dont shuffle deck)
and another with indistructable force

Awesome ^^ though I never really liked 40-card decks...too small for my personal strategies

never played magic, but in other card games a small deck helps with strategies by allowing you to get crucial cards faster. is magic any different?

Depends on the strategy you're going with. For weenie decks and quick-fire decks it's good to have a sizeable deck, since if you run out of cards and can't draw on your turn you automatically lose. Then there's what I like to call Siege Decks, built around waiting out your opponent and letting him whittle himself away. Built correctly, I figure those decks could be reduced a good amount in size. There are cards that allow you to shuffle your graveyard pile back into your library, so that helps extend things a bit.

and then there are decks that absolutelly overwhelm without being too reckless. thats the kinda deck I play in all card games.

Yup, those are also good decks. I was never much of a strategist, though, so I usually just built decks and prayed they worked out. I'm something of a faith-player, I guess.
