Hey there, aethelwulf,
I'm building up a contact list of the people who do an effort rather than spam.
I'm offering you a place on that list so that you can reach out to all the other cool people in here if you ever feel the need.

If someone contacts you, you can use the list to double check if they are worth a response and not just someone random.

Would you like to be on such a list ?

I'm currently collecting people for it, but will notify people when it's up and running.

Technically it was just the "anna" part of your name.
Our troll uses certain keywords that he puts into the names he picks for user accounts.
By searching for the username anna you will see many other usernames, where the troll smuggled anna into them.
If he always use the same password he can create multiple fake users to use at random leisure.

He has a tendency to make some intern joke out of it, probably to amuse himself, and your deck contains such a joke by being a pun on cannabis and bliss, but it's sort of only working for someone who know it's a pun based on anna.

A few of the trolls usernames have double keyphrases for some reason, and one might be "liss"

So using "troll-code", your username is really
"Professor c, anna, b, liss"

I only got one theory of why he runs several keyphrases in a few usernames, but I guess they are key aspects to a personality system so he knows which type of personality he wants to exhibit with that username.

In a few of them he pretends to not be good at the english language, but by comparing a lot of phrases and misspellings you can usually spot a pretender.

When people misspell, it's because their brain have an idea about how the word is spelled, based on its experiences with the word. That means that when people misspell a word, they almost always misspell it the same way.

So someone pretending to be bad at a language, but doesn't make a great effort about it will misspell the word in many different ways because they are ordering their brain to scramble the word

Hey there adecock,
I'm putting a contact list together where new and old members can reach out and talk more about each others decklists.
People on the list are chosen because they do much more than just spam out decks.

When I've gathered enough people to start up the list, I will send it out to everyone who chooses to participate.

Then, whenever you are contacted by someone, you can see if they are on the list.

You are in luck :)
We "just" had a massive spam attack.
It ended at about 02:30 danish time.
In general, look at the deck pages before you post.
If the same user is everywhere, wait a little.
Since we only got what seems to be one troll,
There is an opening to post when he sleeps :)

No problem.
The troll is spamming today so wait s bit on posting anything.
I guess hell tire out and go to sleep at some point.
He must have been posting at least a 100 decks.

Hmm, actually it's only 66 decks so far, but he's really spamming through today.
I guess he's in a bad mood.

You classified it as modern, but it looks a lot like something playable on arena.
Do you play there ?

I'm not on arena, but I study the format

We are haunted by a troll at the moment.
He's slammed 63+ decks on us, making it hard for people to see each others work.

In times like these we need to establish a network of people.

First look through all deckpages, the people who aren't trolls usually only have a single deck listed.

User: flashover has 63 of the featured decks

So odds are most others aren't trolls like him.

Take contact to those people, talk about anything and build up a relation to them, otherwise you will be just another burried deck in here.

Feel free to contact me on any of my decks.
Remember the username wickeddarkman and I'll be there to introduce you to people.

Yeah, the troll is spamming us with more than 80 decks, that he probably copied from the account: flashover.

I'm sorry to tell you that you exhibit trollish behavior...

We are trying to build up a community where people behave in an orderly and civilised way.

Binge posting is not counting as civilised behaviour.

I'll spare droc420 and muktol this time...

A minimal deck description works wonders.

We are all predictable :)

Most EDH I've seen run 36 lands, so I think you should test extensively for scenarios where you don't get to revive anything.
That means you will have to both stay alive and get the mana to hardcast your big creatures.

Most reanimator designs has this fallacy, but I have experienced designs that could actually be played in that direction, though they are really really rare.

But if you can see any way of developing your deck in that direction it will often be a shock to the opponent.

In mtgvault we got a series of "halfdecks"
Where 30 cards form a halfdeck and you choose one and combine it with another one at random.

Search for the decktag: halfdeck

We've had a couple of people who have wanted to do the same thing with EDH, so you are not far from what we already got in here :)

Woops.
Turns out I haven't upvoted your edh.
I might have done that on purpose to try to get you away from it. Heh :)
I'll correct the mistake :)

Seems like I started letting you down on your EDH in oktober 2020
Before that point I upvoted everything of yours.

I remember telling you about some of the mechanisms in mtgvault, and at that time you had a reputation of 16 while having so many decks.

At the moment more than 3 likes means a deck is good, and 9+ means it's exceptional.

I know I upvote you by default, even your EDH works despite that I've really started seeing it in mtgvault.

I know you produce a lot of good stuff and this method can increase both your tempo and may work as a tool of inspiration, and even though you aren't an active talker you deserve this tool :)

Hey, hipponox,

At the moment a troll is producing 4.5 more decks than all the other active mtgvaulters together.
I've discovered how he does it and is sharing it with the community pillars because I'd rather see this place spammed by more good people than by one nasty troll.

Search for the decktag: wdm trolltech
Click on the deck and read the post carefully.

Hey there, dankirk,
I've looked through your decks and love both the designs and the descriptions you make.

At the moment a troll is producing 4.5 more decks than all of the active mtgvault members together.

I've learned exactly how he's doing it, and I'm giving the concept to all of the community pillars, because I'd rather see the place being spammed by good people than by a troll.

Search for the decktag: wdm trolltech
Click on the deck and read through the post carefully.

I believe you will be able to use the technology for good :)

Megakat, megakat,

You are probably the most active deckbuilder of them all.
Search for the decktag: wdm trolltech

It's an article that reveals how one troll is pumping out 4.5 more decks than all of us together, including you...

I'm revealing how he does it so the more productive and nice members of mtgvault can increase their own output.

I'd rather see this place trolled by community pillars than a troll.

I'm pretty sure you will find the technique interesting as it allows for a lot of innovation.
