I recently posted a series of decklists at the Casual Players Alliance that I'd built, mostly in 2006 but some were a bit earlier or later, on the original Magic computer game. For these decks, I'll copy and paste what I wrote about them at the CPA.

I built this deck a few years after I'd built the others. I'd been playing some of my other decks and it dawned on me that the card pool had both Channel and Fireball, but I hadn't built a deck with them. I corrected that oversight. I didn't think that the cardpool supported a sufficiently robust all-out Channel combo deck (a point on which I may have been wrong), so I had to either squeeze ChannelBall into an offensive deck or a defensive deck. A red/green deck could reasonably be either, but I chose defensive. This was probably the least consistent of my decks and occasionally fell apart and lost matches because it got unlucky. But it also got its share of first and second turn kills.
