What deck building or brewing phase/niche are you in right now?
I don't know about y'all, but I definitely go through deckbuilding phases/niches over time. For a while it was tokens - all I could build were different decks that were token decks. They had a bunch of different flavors of tokens, but it was always focused on: make a bunch of something, use specific cards to turn that into value and/or a win. I've since moved on a couple times.
Right now I'm on a big mana kick. All of my decks figure out how to either jam out mana really fast to cast giant threats or cheat on mana costs of giant threats. And nearly all of them have effects that care about mana value of my cards.
I've built \[\[Ashling Rekindled\]\] as big mana spellslinger, I took apart big mana \[\[Braids conjurer adept\]\] to build big mana artifacts \[\[Ironheart\]\], which I might turn into \[\[Golbez Crystal Collector\]\], which is still sort of big mana artifacts, but with some self-mill pizzazz. I just re-built \[\[Vial Smasher\]\] and \[\[Gilanra\]\], big mana stompy. I even have a big mana blink deck with \[\[Kodama of the east tree\]\] and \[\[Bruse Tarl\]\]. I'd say I'm stuck in a rut, but I kind of like it in this big mana rut. It appeals to my timmy sensibilities.
So, over to you all: **what phase/niche of deck building or brewing are you in right now? What niche did you move on from? Do you feel stuck building certain kind of deck, or are you enjoying exploring that space in different colors or sub-themes?**
