Ehehehe.. I did pick Death first, because I had enjoyed playing Black in MTG. But alas, Darkness was more like Black, and I couldn't figure out Death. Seemed too stall-y for me at the time. How wrong I was.
Hrm, anyway. I changed to Aether, because dimensions and immortality and lightnings are cool. Kicked some ass in PvP1, laughing as they threw themselves against my shields, then the Oracle told me Destiny was up, so I looked her up, and it was a perfect fit. After some Destiny ass-kicking, I went on to farm Half-Bloods till I had a 190|20 win ratio (sic), then got a taste for faster decks. I incidentally got my first and only nymph the second day, a Turquoise one. I never use her, but I do love her. Promise.
Just a bit bitter...
