Creature decks

RS and I had a bunch of enjoyable, mostly competitive duels using these "MTG" decks. Because they contain only lands and creatures, they would also suit beginners. Don't underestimate their straightforwardness - there are some sick combos!

FAQ
---
Q. Why three of things and not four?
A. Since we'd planned to play with the decks for hours at a local watering hole while having a good natter, I felt it was worth sacrificing consistency for increased variety.

Q. Why [Card X] and not the strictly superior [Card Y]?
A. I didn't construct the decks that way. Besides making them evenly powered, my goal was to include old stuff, newer stuff and cards I hadn't used previously, e.g. Vigean Hydropon.
