Similar to the "Your Signature Deck?" discussion, what's your style of play? Do you stick with immolation rushes, or love long stalls? Do you like denial, keeping the opponent from playing a single card, or would you rather rush them with adrenafrogs?  Do you play slowly, trying to give your opponent as little information as possible, or rush everything out as soon as possible for maximum damage?

I generally prefer rushes. When making a mono deck, I tend to pack in heavy hitters, and some CC and PC. In a rainbow, I like dumping my entire hand out on the first few turns. Feels so great.

I prefer drawn out games, but not exactly stalls per se.  It's kind of that happy medium where I can still hamper the opponent's actions while casually setting a few cards here and there.  Maybe RT my own stuff just so I can see what they do on their next turn, maybe learn a thing or two.

Gonna pull a "I like everything" here. But generally, most of the decks that I enjoy playing are slow at the start/have a starting that seems like X but turns out to be Y. I like surprising people.

I like rushing with flesh recluse but I also like to slowly kills my opponent with poison, hidding behing a bonewall who keep growin thanks to my CC.

My favourite playstyle is still aggro-control or midrange deck. some good creature/spells for agression, and some card to control what your opponent is playing.

I dislike deck that can be hard countered by one card and like having a lot of option to kill my opponent.

I definitely prefer that happy medium between rush and stall- the ideal domination style deck. Controlling the field is a large part of what I enjoy.

Yes purify is a good counter to poison deck but when you expect your opponent to have purify in hand (when your opponent play a deck with water actually you can try to avoid purify to make you loose. It's still never a good new ^^

I like control style decks.  It's a carryover from my favourite Magic decks.  My preferred FG/arena deck is rainbow control with hourglass/time mark.  I like having lots of options in my play, and I dislike one-trick pony decks.  In a competitive pvp environment, I'll pick whatever wins, even if I don't like it personally, but in pve, I'll pick fun decks every time.  Thus, I don't like decks like Instosis or Splat, even though they do well, because there are essentially zero tough decisions to make. 

In my rainbow control deck, I'm always making tough choices about where to spend quanta and what the opponent might do.  Conversely, when two rush decks face each other, pretty much all that happens is both players dump their hands by turn 2-3 and put a brick on the spacebar.  It can be interesting playing a rush against a stall deck because in that scenario, you have to make decisions based on what they might have to counter you with, but when it's something like monolife rush vs immorush, there won't be any decisions to separate the amateurs from the professionals.

Rush rush rush rush rush.  Throw in random PC, Poison, Lances, etc. for the freaking Wings/Phase Shields.  Rush rush rush rush rush some more.  Speaking from a Mono perspective I of course prefer Life rushes, but I'm quite fond of Speedbows.

Domination and Stall. In my optimal game I want to counter each move the opponent makes while slowly but surely building up an untouchable position, and then when everything is perfectly under control, activate a long-prepared win-condition to finish the game.
