Can this old-school deck hang with newer decks? I haven't played magic since 1995 or 96. I was really into it so I have several thousand cards from The Dark to Homelands. I am trying to build a deck that could hang with current decks until I can get more modern cards. I thought a Black and Blue control deck running Necropotence and primarily blue counters and cards that take other creatures since most of my creatures are outdated. Like I said I have a ton of older cards so if you know of a card from The Dark to the Homelands expansion that would work better than what I have to compete at my local shop, please let me know. Also, if you think this is a lost cause trying to compete with newer decks that input would also be helpful.
