When I quite playing the actual physical version of this game I kept three decks, a 4-color counterspell deck, a land destruction deck, and a Necropolis deck. A few years later I went back and replaced the rather dated and gimmicky Necro deck with card denial / nevinyrral's disk deck that closer resembled what I won my Black Lotus tournament with, minus the 3rd color via dual lands. I also scrounged together a few type 1 (vintage) restricted cards to make it a little more like it was back in the day, e.g., demonic tutor, mind twist, sol ring, etc. (sorry, no "Power 9"). Here are photos of the decks and their contents:

• 4x Stone Rain
• 4x Thermokarst
• 4x Strip Mine
• 4x Kird Ape
• 4x Woolly Spider
• 4x Fyndhorn Elves
• 4x Llanowar Elves
• 4x Lightning Bolts
• 3x Fireball
• 3x Stunted Growth
• 2x Icy Manipulator
• 11x Forest
• 9x Mountain
