Tips to get Likes / Comments

Main Deck (2 cards)

Instants (1)

Enchantments (1)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a list of tips on how I believe you can get more Likes and / or Comments on your decks.

1) Name and Tag Your Deck - This helps people know what to expect if they click on your deck. The name alone doesn't always supply enough information, so use the tags to further entice the viewers. Remember, while you can physically add more than 4 tags, only the first 4 will show outside the deck.

2) Use the "Deck Description" and "How to Play" Text Boxes - This helps people who have clicked on your deck to see what your overall plan is, allowing those willing to comment to suggest appropriate ideas. The "How to Play" box is especially important as not everyone can figure out combo's, etc.

3) Comment and Like Other People's Decks - This is probably the most important part of getting Comments and Likes on your decks. Commenting and Liking other peoples' decks will often get them to look at your profile and then comment / like your decks. This comes with a warning though: be kind. ie: don't hate on others, and don't post links to totally unrelated stuff (including your decks that have nothing to do with the strategy of the deck).

How to Play

If more people use the suggestions above, I can see us all having blessed company on this wonderful site. If you agree with me, please like this 'deck' to help get it to the front page

Found this old gem :)

I believe the "please like *this* to keep it on top" method was part of what caused this place to be filled with trolls, as it caused a number of attention economies to appear that were driven by different interest groups.

I believe I have the next level of technology ready to solve both the problem of wanting to spread out interest groups but also how to strangle the trolls to death.

I'm almost at the end at producing a "4 links template" which I will copy/paste onto all my future decks.
It is a technology that trolls are unlikely to copy because it means a lot of extra work for each fake user they create.
People who aren't trolls will quickly see the ideas of using these types of templates and will then help in strangling the trolls away.

My first link is a contact list, which covers persons of interest
People creating such a list can basically use it to lust friendlies and community pillars.
My own list is an elite users list but there will be many possibilities.
The link could lead to a post that covers several different lists of persons, like fun users, competitive users, lists of format players and so on. People can either link to their own posts with lists or they can link to the post made by someone else.

My second link is a "how to use mtgvault" which leads to a post with links to other posts covering different aspects of mtgvault.
I intent that front post to contain links to community behavior and guides on how to use mtgvault like this one. Again people can link to the work of someone else or create their own version.

The third link is leading to a front post (my frontpage) from which it will branch out to the many aspects of my own projects.

The fourth link leads to my update front post where links to my most recent builds can be found. Long term it can branch out into containing an extensive archive based on year and month.

All of the linking posts have a "cover deck" that both allows me to build a deck that is a little outside my usual range, but will also serve as a commercial on what I can produce.

The whole 4 links template can be imitated by anyone who both cares about the community but also likes to be organized in a simple way.

The concept can also be expanded upon in a billion ways.

For example the lists of persons of interest can link to the decks of other people and create the foundation of a much better form of supporting each other and personal interests than liking it to the top of the deck page.

For someone as productive as me, the 4 links template will be a permanent tool to get viewers and it will bypass the rolls over time which means I can actually start to forget all about hunting them.

As a final stab in their shrivelled small hearts I've left a manual about them which will serve as a nice tombstone.

Here's the link to my first version...
