Can defense really make good offense?

Just another thing to think about...
I'm sorry but you are talking nonsense. How is having a disadvantage which is "the colour can't do this at all" ever something you can turn into an advantage?
Red does other stuff to make up for its lack of enchantment hate, but the lack of enchantment hate is never an advantage.

OK, but you are coming from a premise that is just wrong. Just because it is an opinion doesn't mean it can't be called out as bloody stupid.
In a game where flexibility is great, not being flexible isn't a strength. There is no way that having a black deck that can't deal with artifacts is at all is somehow better than a black deck that could deal with artifacts, in this theoretical world of yours.
The only time not being able to deal with something should be a consideration is in deck building space and power.

I think that in the right deck it can be done, my Oloro deck is mainly a defense deck, but in wins a lot of games because when it goes off, most peoples resources are used up, so in that case it wins through defense, on the other hand my maelstrom deck is pure offense it just keeps hitting until there's nothing left to hit.

And he has edited the post. The original one was some nonsense about how colours not being able to do something is somehow an advantage.
Pillowfort decks are fine, they generally have slower win cons, not your bollocks about trying to turn something that fundamentally is bad into a good thing.

Sometimes, decks with the right amount of cards can help you. People have different styles of playing MTG

Kaos777 once again, you are speaking cryptic nonsense.

It's kind of pointless to argue with you. So moving on, I can relate a lot of things in this topic that we are talking right now like the game of chess and many other strategy games that actually is a strategy you could use in those games (Sorry for the confusion). It takes time to make a perfect move in chess. It's all about what you pretty much do in chess to take control or infiltrate the other side. There's a meaning to every move. Just like Magic The Gathering, it all depends on what you do first before you even try to make a "stupid move" or if it's what I think. It's also in games like teaming and stuff. Before you even make your move you really need to plan it first. Then you test it. That's how you do it in MTG, take your time to learn how to build your perfect deck.

I should've explained to you (LeaPlath) earlier so I apologize. Also not type in the last nonsense last time, what was I even thinking??

All of this matter because of an opinion.
