Are you spying on me?! :D

Basically, this. I'm fed up of the homepage being the ultimate goal, that's why we're dropping the homepage in its current form, there will be no single ultimate goal but instead a version of "top decks" for every deck tag in the system. This should allow us to get a more even spread of comments/likes across the vast variety of deck types rather than the very limited homepage funnel that we currently have.

We've not 100% decided what will be going on the homepage yet but I do like the idea of allowing the user to tailor it themselves. We're considering having the homepage locked down to a signup form with a random selection of decks every refresh or even just a signup form but there's nothing stopping us changing this to a specific /tag/top/ page once the user has logged in...

THANKYOU!!! i too was getting very fed up with the current system and i was just about to suggest what your already planning.

on top of what you guys have said, i would like a "new ideas" deck type option for each format, so instead of putting your deck down as "control" you could put it down as "new idea (STD)" or whatever. this is because most of the front page decks are people who have just built the perfect humans or the perfect elfdrazi or something, but i want to see people who actually think about the cards they have at their disposal, and say "i wonder what else I can do with these.

all the best.

I'd like the Login/Signup page to be the first page when entering, so I don't have to waste clicks logging in. If there could be a "stay logged in" option, that would also be very cool.

I think the homepage should be random decks by a selected format. This will solve two problems at once! With this method, there will be no ultimate goal and one will be able to choose the format. If I'm looking for Standard decks, I don't want random crap from Zendikar.

I was thinking random by default and then letting users choose a default tag/type to view. From past experience, showing random things can lead to confusion for some users though...

yes, confusion is for pokemon

Just wondering, when is the expected/target release date for v3?


Also, could there be a sorting system within the deck, like ABC order? I don't like that it is by set and color. Could there be an option to change it?

We're doing late night coding sessions every Wednesday at the moment with a few bits here and there in-between.

It's looking good but there's so much still to do, it's crazy! I wrote the first version of this site in a week but when you take a look at all the additional features we've added over the years, the re-write has just become a mammoth task. There's no way I want to release before it's ready so I'd say we're looking at a good month or two in all honesty...
