Wanted to revive the Deckhelp Alliance and had to create a new "Deck" because the old one had too many comments and deleting them would kill post counts and reputation, so ... welcome to Deckhelp Alliance Reloaded.
The old version:
http://www.mtgvault.com/puschkin/decks/the-deckhelp-alliance/
In case you are new to this, here is the idea:
* I'll invite players to become a member by posting on one of their decks, providing the link of this "deck". I will NOT make this public and keep it unlisted, so you need the link to get here. This is to prevent attracting random people. We aim at a tight group that grows by invitation only. Feel free to spread the link but only do so if you are sure the guy will be a worthwhile addition.
* Members will be listed in the "Tell us how to play it ..." section here. I will try to keep it up to date. You can provide additional information about you, like preferred formats, but also ways to communicate, like Skype nicks. Also, make sure to list them as your "friends" here on Vault.
* If you need input on a deck or created a new one, you post here and provide the link to decks you need help with. Other members can check that out and comment. We prefer constructive ciriticism over "cool deck, bro"-type of comments! And once you got a (hopefully helpful) comment THEN YOU HELP THAT PERSON ON ONE OF THEIR DECKS, TOO!
To make that work you need to keep up the subscription on this thread. You also need to have proper deck descriptions and maybe add information about the areas you need help with.
* This is still on voluntary basis, though, make use of common sense and be pragmatic. We are all humans and have RL-stuff to do, so this isn't a "I did comment, now you owe me" kind of thing - but as long as we keep the memberlist to truly motivated and mature people, this shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact, once you've seen interesting decks of others, you probably don't need exra motivation to post :)
To sum it up:
Know your peers, keep an open eye on what they are doing and if everybody does that, everyone of us will get his share of attention. It's as simple as that.
Members of the Deckhelp Alliance:
PUSCHKIN
URL http://www.mtgvault.com/puschkin/
Formats: Vintage, Legacy, Modern
Modes: Casual, Multiplayer, Pentagram
Expertise/Emphasis: Sophisticated (mostly unusual) casual decks, when commenting I always try to keep decks in theme. I could help on competitive decks in older formats but I am a bit rusty and I give a rat's ass about Standard.
Skype: puschkin_
DRAKERAENES
URL http://www.mtgvault.com/drakeraenes/
Formats: Modern, Casual, Some EDH, Some Legacy
My group is all about the fun of the game, so winning isn't our primary focus. We build a deck based on the flavor of it, not the best possible cards that cost the most money, however this doesn't make us budget either. We regularly by singles, and I myself order boxes of a set if it's worth it. I do like to play some competitive matches occasionally, and have a few decks irl that can hold their own in tourney play. I also like to play commander from time to time. I'm a practical deck builder with hundreds of ideas and decks built around them. I never make the same deck twice, or try not to at least. ;)
TheSWARMER
http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/
Formats: Modern, pauper and casual
Expertise-Modern, only have one semi-competitive deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budgetish-modern-bg-loam-pox/ mainy budgetish and unusal decks. Mainly play at small fnm-like events.
Pauper: still a noob in this format but I try to play it as often as possible.
Casual: Most of my friends only play casual, I have a bunch of casual decks and most of the plane cards.
Budget: I own lots of budget decks and I enjoy making them (BUDGET IS NOT CAUSAL!)
WICKEDDARKMAN
http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/forum-competitive-modern-mill/
FORMATS: Modern.
EXPERTISE: Mill.
DEDWARDS
http://www.mtgvault.com/dedwards/
Formats: Modern and Standard
My group plays mostly Modern and Standard so that is where my best knowledge of the game is. I also try assist Pauper and the odd EDH/Commander deck, but mostly on a whim. I tend to lean towards aggro strategies, but I do enjoy midrange and combo decks. Control, and by extension most blue, is where I'm least helpful.
As for Skype, etc., it'd probably be best not to. I live in South Africa. With the crappy internet connections we have and the time zone being GMT+2, timing could be a problem
KAZZONG
http://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/
TheBear
URL: http://www.mtgvault.com/thebear/
Formats: Competitive LEGACY, MODERN and PAUPER.
Expertise: General Deck Construction and innovations to older Archetypes, comfortable with nearly any style of deck. I don't play Standard anymore but I am familiar with lists.
