The idea for this deck is a strange one, as it came from a German Warcraft audio drama. There is a short scene in one of the later episodes where one of the characters describes a theatre-scene he wants to make:P1: This scene will settle the question of who will win the ultimate battle of...P2: Good against evil?P3: Warcraft against Warhammer?P4: Football club 1 against club 2?P4 Atari vs Amiga?P1: No. Pirates against Ninjas!

This will probably be one of the last decks I'm releasing here for a very simple reason: MTGVault is dead as a dinosaur. Don't get me wrong, I've been on this site for a long time and it was a good time. The number of active users has dropped but it would still be a good site to build decks (and hope for comments and support from other users). What really makes me angry is the support from Gary and Ian, which is a catastrophe. If you browse through the forum's "MTG Vault Bugs & Suggestions" section there are a lot of bug reports and even more suggestions on how to improve things. Bugs that where site-breaking are normally dealt with sooner or later, but other linger around for decades, like the one where you can give your own decks a like... or the one currently haunting the site with no prices of decks and cards displayed. The only thing done since June 2023 was "Wilds of Eldraine added to the database!" on 09-09-2023. The other 10 posts where someone reported a bug or a missing card where ignored. I know how hard it is to call for help on a project that is you baby that is getting over your head, be it because of technical problems or simple things like a new job, house, child or whatever. But in the end one has to make a decision between getting help and get things right or letting them die slowly and as I mentioned in my first sentence: "MTGVault is dead as a dinosaur".

The vault could be improved upon. Not having prices is probably the biggest issue in my opinion. I miss the deck challenges, which requires an involved community. I have sadly been nonexistent for a while but I enjoy coming back to the vault and knowing/hoping it's there. Can't imagine an mtgvault without you muktol :(
Yes, it could be improved on, in some areas more easily than in others. But the only thing I got to read during the last years was "Short on time", "Problems with this", "Problems with that" or the classic "We will write it into our list for the next update/ change. We really want to get this right"... heard the last one way to many times to believe in it any more. I guess I will have to start looking for alternatives, because the site I'm using to keep track of my card collection isn't really well suited for deck-building.
In my opinion the problem is simpler.Communities talk.I've underlined it several times, and thee is no talk here, even during spoiler season which is sort of where magic communities talk the most, so sure, this place is dead, cause noones are talking.I'm mostly monologuing, but I do reach out from time to time.There's a comment about once a week from someone saying "looks cool" but after a thanx the conversation sort of ends.
You can discuss decks and cards, and earlier on there where some good and constructive ones. But the members who had the knowledge and will to write such things slowly left the site and the new players rarely give or make comments or even answer ones.Also the forum is dead as a dodo, which I partly blame on not working notifications and party on lack of interest. And talk like spoiler discussions are mostly made in the forum. Another option could be that forums are generally outdated and people now get together on discord, Instagram, and other "New" and "cool" communication platforms.
Do you know any good alternatives to Vault? I did a little search and the most promising was moxfield, but there are a ton of other good sites out there.
Basically I'd say the best alternative is tournament play.Everything else seems corrupt, except for a minimal number of youtubers, but the good ones are extremely hard to find. My overall methods on finding them is based on the number of hits they get during spoiler season by finding cards I've marked as good, and by the number of hits they got that I missed. If they don't do spoilers, I rate them on the number of obvious mistakes during gameplay.I also perform "inverse" searches based on what is posted on mtggoldfish by players. The decks I see all the time I basically consider corrupted, which is often confirmed when I see youtubers play differing decklists. Everything I see very rarely I look through for obvious bad designing, and if it seems without flaw I start researching it.I also do a price search on cards once in a while, and any card that skyrocketed to begin with and then dropped like a rock is something I take as an indicator of the card being good.Having a playgroup is definitely the best option as more minds learn faster, but they must work on the same deck for everyone to be trusted.
I'm simply looking for a site to build and manage my decks. An active community is considered as a bonus.
Mtggoldfish could be an option, as it has some user "codes" in common with mtgvault.I don't know about the community though, but the spammer culture is there, so it's likely to be going downhill in a hurry.They too have some bugs in the deckbuilding, not any that distorts your build like mtgvault can sometimes insert double the amount of cards you type, their bug is more focussed on spoiling your big writeup of the deck.
I have found something that suits me and I'm trying to migrate my old decks on the new platform. It's far from being perfect (If there would be a perfect site we would all be there) but they have discord and react to wishes and bugs. It was a fun time while it lasted but I have to say I'm out of here because I see this ship sinking. And that more sooner than later.
