Decks
 
RPG
  
This section contains a list of ready-to-play decklists, each with a brief strategy discussion. Most of the decks will be Phoenix decks, though a few others may creep in from time to time... I'll try to remember to sort the decks by expansion, since the "current" decklists will no doubt change as more cards are released. Tournament reports can also be found in this section.

A quick note. The decks are grouped according to the currently legal set, allowing readers to quickly work out which ones are up to date. However, if you haven't looked over the older decks it might be worthwhile - there's such a wide variety of playable Phoenix decks that I don't usually update all of them to the most current set. So you may get useful ideas from the older decklists, even if they're not quite "pick up and play" any more.
