Hello, first post here, glad I found this forum!
Me and some of my friends are planning to "return" to MTG for the first time since Kamigawa block, for some it'll be the first time with Magic.
We would like to try playing friendly multiplayer (4-6 players) games using leftovers from the old days and perhaps some proxies - just to raise a new excitement for this game, try some formulas unavailable to us in the past, etc. We are not agreed on format as of yet, but it would be close to Legacy, I'm sure. We were playing as kids in the 1998-2004 era, roughly.
Now, can you please give me some advice on building a Blue deck? Let me share some initial thoughts/ideas:
I always liked Blue decks filled with cantrips, card draw, counterspells; if I could, I would love to build a deck without creatures or with minimal amount, some control/combo type,
if I were a Pro player back in the day, I would try Academy, High Tide or Trix decks - for me this is the most rewarding and fun way to play,
on the other hand, I don't want my friends to leave after one game, watching me comboing for 10+ minutes each turn,
it doesn't have to be mono Blue, as long as other colors fit the theme of quick instants/sorceries and don't introduce too many creatures/permaments.
Where should I go from here? Are cantrips decks viable in Multiplayer? How to create a deck viable and fun to play with friends - competetive, but not OP? I'm looking for flexible decks with some of the mechanics mentioned earlier. Thanks in advance, appreciate any input.
