I'm deckbuilding from a phone, and sometimes when I write a card it corrects it as another card. Sundering and sun titan are close enough in text that you might have experienced the same mistake :)

While it's true it only gets the priest back, the priest can get another sun titan back so it sort of loops, and loops tend to be powerfull.

If you add discarded like [[oona's prowler]] sun titan will have more work.

If you want sundering titan to be key, you might prosper from getting rid of lands sharing the basic land types so your mana remains untouched.

Keep 3 plains and add some enchantment removal to the sideboard if bloodmoon is haunting your area.

Forgot to add the link
https://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/best-template-ever/

It's simply a few lines that will be copy pasted onto all of my future posts.
One link is leading to the good users list

Was sundering titan meant to be [[sun titan]] ?
It works well with priest of fell rites.

The past few years many creatures have gained the ability to let you discard something from your hand.
[[Oona's prowler]] is my favorite in mill, with ensnaring bridge, but I know that each color has recently gained at least two discarder creatures. They allow you to discard the big ones, can work as early blockers.

That will not be a problem, the decks you've made in the past should be able to inspire the others in the group for a long time.

Thanks to my next level of templates all of my future decks will link to that list, crediting everyone on it for being good users :)

Here's a link to the first template which I call the 4 links template.

Feel free to copy the concept. Every time you create a new deck you can copy/paste a template at the top or bottom of a deck.
The links of a template can either be links to other peoples decks or to your own.

The template demands that you sort of create 4 pages that the links lead to, but once these are made, every deck you create can refer to your older work.

It's also the basis of a much more linked community, as some links can lead to community sections shared by those caring for it.

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...

I will bring you an update, but it might take a while.
Artificers intuition has the potential to replace both whir of invention and ancient stirrings by being able to convert any artifact in hand into the keycard you need.

It demands less pressure on the colorthemes of your deck and promises more flexibility.
And by being a permanent it will also mean that you will need less of whir and stirrings, allowing you to incorporate more utility artifacts strengthening the overall concept.

It's a small wonder why the card has been overlooked by past lantern brewers :)

Anyways most of us have been ignoring each other for a while, but I think the reason is that about 4 decks out of 5 have no description, and without that we can't catch the essence without looking really long at the deck.

I've handpicked the listed people for their ability to describe the decks they like in detail.
Take a look at a few of them if you have the time, I'm pretty sure you'll find the quality a lot higher than looking at some random spam :)

That won't be a problem, you don't need to be active to have your past deck inspire others.

A totally unrelated question though,
I remember you wanted to try out the paperstrip method in the past and recently theswarmer mentioned something that made me search the web for something that was pretty close to mine, but theswarmer mentioned that it used a sort of "during tournaments" process. Did you ever spread out the concept ?
I've seen it in other cardnames as well and the terms used in it even spread outside magic.

Do you know anything?
I'm trying to find the oldest article about it.
The terminology for it all is core and flex slots. Or sometimes deck core and flex card slots.

I think the reason why it fell apart was that there were still obligations of a sorts.
I'm basically just going to run a list of people whom I think does a great job, and I'll maintain it to see if it can turn around the slide into apathy :)

I'm collecting people for a list of the best users in here.
It's purpose will be that people on the list are better than the average
And should be taken a look at, both to inspire each other but also to create something to strive for.
Giving people a purpose.

You are auto include in my book, so would you like to be on the list ?
No strings attached, just be you...
