What do you love more? Building decks or playing?

[Federico Rosano]

I play MTG since 2003: I bought my very first deck on vacation, it was a mono blue with Phantom Warrior, Wind Drake and Mana Leak, I always loved it. Since then I always loved building my own decks from scratch. I bought a few, expecially in the beginning, but I always realized that build a deck is a big part of the game, if not the biggest, at least for me.
My learning curve had a real blast when I had no-limits internet access. From that point my focus is on super cheap and fun decks to play against friends, Modern and Casual formats. Currently I own 15 complete decks and I'm always working on new unique ideas. I love when cards interacts with opponents and the game is enjoyable for everyone.

I love brewing decks probably slightly more than I do playing but not by much.

I enjoy brewing/building decks much more. The whole creativity aspect into a finished project that I did is a great feeling.

[Xaarvaxus]

I enjoy the brewing/building aspect more.  I tend to enjoy the first half-dozen or so games with a deck more than the games that follow as I get to see where the deck is succeeding and where it is falling short and am usually already focused on what changes need to be made to shore up a weakness or improve a strategy while those games are still ongoing.  Once I've piloted most decks a few times, some new idea will hit and I'm spending resources to acquire what I need to build on that idea.   However, I rarely rip down decks that I've built and will tinker with updates as new cards come out but the newer decks tend to get dragged to any game night [with my Grimgrin zombie tribal mill being an exception].

I enjoy playing new decks. I get bored of the same deck, so I constantly am building new ones. But I do really enjoy looking at a commander and trying to figure out how to best use it.

More times then not I love playing more then Building. But from time to time, just sitting down with just an idea, flipping through my giant collection, and building an EDH deck from scratch is the perfect thing to de-stress. That and modifying decks when a new set hits is always fun.

This is something I always look forward to!

Yeah. It can be hard sometimes. Do I take out Blur Sliver or Galerider Sliver for my Cloudshredder Sliver.

In seriousness, I would probably take out flying since you have the shifting sliver for evasion, as well as ward sliver, if you run that. And probably some others.

My cut would be Reflex Sliver, if one were to run it, drops the cmc and gives an extra ability.

Don't forget to make room for Plague Sliver.

I like playing decks more. I've gotten pretty good at deck building that most of it is just routine stuff. I also haven't built a new deck in about 6 months, because nothing has peaked my interest enough.

What about my boy, Urza?

[Morganator 2.0]

I was planning on building Urza, Lord High Artificer, but stopped halfway, for the dumbest reason.

It would absolutely destroy my playgroup. I don't think there are enough people with strong enough decks for it to ever be a challenge for me. I know they wouldn't enjoy it, and I wouldn't enjoy it, so what's the point?

[Reyane]

Making and modifying decks has always been fun for me. I have 14 - 60 card decks and 4 commander decks. Some of them I have gotten ideas from others, but many of them were me searching for hours through various cards, finding neat combinations, and making a deck. I do have to say though, that recently making decks has been harder since I have found and made a lot of the decks that really stand out and pique my interest. When I hit these little roadblocks then playing Magic becomes more fun to me. Really depends on sets when they are released and what goofy mechanics I can play with.

[theClownsChapter]

My Answer is definitely Brewing.

I spend so much time thinking about als kinds of decks, combinations and themes. Even those which I never will aquire in any form.

When I play a deck some times I feel like it is "known" and I don't have the patience of mastering a deck (nor does my small playgroup I guess).
My mind jumps straight to the next idea.

In the end all that is limited by the budget i restricted myself (more or less usually more)
