Absolutely no hard feelings. About once every 3 or 4 months I go off on a rant...lol. Then I get over it.

Sorry for the rant. It does get aggravating. But I don't want to keep sounding like a douche. Sorry. This isn't he proper place to complain. Maybe in Forum. I love this site. Go to it daily. I get great enjoyment out of Magic Vault.

I probably just need to like decks that I think are actually good. And hope other people do the same.

Let my decks, and suggestions on other decks speak for themselves.

Yeah. You are right. I let it get to me.
I am glad you browse through new decks/unloved decks/tags.
That is what I am scared of...that almost everyone on here just focuses on the Hot Page.
And it waters down Magic Vault.
There isn't enough people like you!

You'd be surprised how good you really are krayterz!

I may keep being a dick...but I will also keep destroying decks that:
Have no answers to artifacts/enchantments
Have 4 cards in the entire deck that can actually win them the game
Only have 1 win condition.

And I will keep questioning hot decks with 50 likes, that are amazingly weak and prone to lose.
Poor spirit or not. Party pooper or not. Naysayer or not. IF your deck is weak, and gets 50 likes, I will call you out on it. More and more people on this site have come to the same conclusion (not naming them, take your wrath out on me, not them, they have their own Article pages complaining about what I am in this post). But many have already left Magic Vault, blaming crappy budget decks, copy decks, and 1 win condition decks CONSUMING the Hot page. The guy that introduced me to Magic Vault doesn't use this site anymore. I beg him to come check it out, occasionally, and he asks, "Is all the hot decks still either budget, have 1 win condition, and are copies of other decks?" I have to answer truthfully and say, "yes, 99 percent of them are either budget, copies of other decks, or only have 1 win condition."

His answer, "Get back to me when they start focusing on quality decks." And he is freaking right. Sadly, he is right. I don't blame him for not visiting this site anymore. I, and a few others, are trying to change that.

You are right, Gothy, "enjoy yourselves."
For me, that doesn't mean for me to make a SUPER NEAT AND CREATIVE DECK, that is weak, and to lose 90 games out of 100.

Hell, I even argue this: If a deck wins 1 game out of 10...regardless if it is one hell of an amazing win...you still lost damn 9 games out of 10. 1 quality win is better than than 10 poor wins. Yeah, I don't follow that philosophy.

Even their argument (Johnny) is weak...If you got your deck to "do it's thing" and win once...it has been a success.
Well, listen to this, if you got your deck to "do it's thing" successfully then you would have MORE THAN 1 WIN OUT OF 10. Weird or not. Challenging or not. Awesome combo or not. You can have weird, challenging, and awesome and still have a winning deck. Try harder.

"That kind of deck appeals to Johnnys because it's weird, it's challenging, and it's an awesome combo. So what if it doesn't work 9 times out of 10, if it works just once they'll be satisfied. That's just the kind of people we Johnnys are." Even that is a weak argument.

You are assuming that you can not make a deck that is weird, challenging, awesome, that is Super Neat and Creative...and it be successful. You can have a Johnny deck, and it still be solid: having more than 1 win condition, having answers to artifacts/enchantments/have more than 4 cards in the deck that win you the game.

Spikes and Timmys unite!!!
Let us get great decks back on the Hot Page.
Decks that aren't dime a dozen copy decks.
Decks that aren't Article decks.
Decks that are actually solid, well rounded, THAT WON'T LOSE TO A SINGLE BLOCKING CREATURE./ONE COUNTERSPELL/ONE DIRECT DAMAGE SPELL.

Yeah, when i complained on one of the hot decks, about how all the hot decks suck...that is what I was told.

http://www.mtgvault.com/dragonfire/decks/6-million-digits-of-damage/

That there are Johnny, Spikes, and Timmys.
That it is okay to be a Johnny. IF you only win 1 out of 10 games with your deck. That is okay. It is okay to put that deck on the hot page and like it.

I am definitely not a Johnny.
If a deck wins 1 game out of 10...regardless if it is one hell of an amazing win...you still lost damn 9 games out of 10. 1 quality win is better than than 10 poor wins. Yeah, I don't follow that philosophy.

Even their argument is weak...If you got your deck to "do it's thing" and win once...it has been a success.
Well, listen to this, if you got your deck to "do it's thing" successfully then you would have MORE THAN 1 WIN OUT OF 10.

So...apparently the site is full of Timmys loving Timmy decks. Lol, or something like that.

Tim the Enchanter.
Good guess.
He does ping damage.

I think though, they have a Tim or Timmy in the unglued series of Magic.

So not sure.

Free beer and chips!

Oh, I read it wrong. I thought it was "I respond to 3 decks and you respond to 1 deck."
I am totally down with you just looking over 1 of my decks.
I try to comment on unloved decks anyways.

I like your idea. Thank you are the boss for doing it!

Yep, he is pretty neat.

I offered advice to 3 Unloved Decks. :)

Bottomless Pit could work in this deck.
Gotta show some love to Multiplayer Black decks.

Hellfire Mongrel would work good in this deck.

Good luck.

Yeah, i am posting on another deck. Saying basically the same thing as what you are PhyrexianPossum, and people are telling me to be positive. And that it doesn't matter if the combos do not work. lol.
I don't get it.

Semantics. lol

Just like American Football should be called "Hand Ball" because the ball is rarely kicked.

I almost feel at times, because of how crappy the decks on the hot tab usually are, that they are the ones that need all the help.

The really killer decks need no help, get no support, or views.

Jesus H. Christ.
BnE, can you go post that to every deck on this site!
Finally, someone voicing my same concerns!

Just because a deck is super cheap, or super easy to recommend changes to, or super easy to understand doesn't mean it should get 50 likes!!!

Nor does it mean a super awesome, well rounded, complex, intimidating (in that it may use older cards or difficult to understand combos) deck should be overlooked.

But it happens everyday on this site.
The guy that originally told me about this site. That is why he left. I am still here. But he left. Simply because he said, "a bunch of super crappy, 1 win condition decks get on the hot page. And budget decks that are budget just for the sake of being Budget are hot decks. Good, solid decks do not get any support/likes."

He is right. So are you.

Whom are the Timmy and Spikes of the world?
I am assuming I am a Timmy or Spike :)

Yeah, they are very nice indeed!

If you didn't have such a low mana curve, I would recommend Serra's Sanctum. It rocks with Enchantment heavy decks!
