Deck Description

i mean really people. please include a short rundown on your moves and kill combos. we shouldn't have to read every single one of your cards and try to figure out the combo ourselves. its really not that hard to include a couple sentences about why i should even bother clicking on the cards you have included in your masterpieces.

also, your deck is not interesting if you just list down a bunch of cards. you need to grab people's attention by laying out your elaborate (or not so elaborate plans if you play red burn for example) plans. make me want to click on your deck. give it a good name. tell me what you plan to do with your spells. how you plan to kill off your opponent. making a deck called WG Soldiers is pretty damn boring. ok you play white and green and primarily soldiers. this doesnt make me want to click on your cards and find out if you have some kind of cutting edge strategy in your mind. when i see this kind of title i automatically assume your deck is about summoning a few soldiers and simply weenie spamming someone to death.

Unfortunately, that never works for me (or a lot of other people)
I've only ever had one hot deck. and it had about a third of the likes/comments of your lowest hot deck

Well it is true that for other people to understand the strategy of a deck you need to write the combo even if it is a mere sentence...But still if you have been playing Magic for quite some time you tend to learn cards by heart.

Take me for example I have been playing since the 7th edition and have constructed over 100 decks most of which i focus only on new combos. I have learnt over a 1000 cards by heart and still go through a new deck to see all the cards just to better understand the concept.

So if you, visno, feel that it is a waste of time reading all the cards well that is your opinion and I respect it but remeber to be patient and understanding with the rest.(Most of them are beginners)

i've been playing magic since revised. a time when seeing a Craw Wurm hit the field and you were actually scared. theres alot of cards to memorize dreki and realistically, few people will have the time to memorize every single one of them. its good practice to include even a sentence or two of what your deck does. i cant even count how many decks on this site ive clicked on where in the comments someone asks "wait so how does this deck work i dont get it?" a single sentence or two would have answered that. and if you want people to look at your deck, as i said before, lay out your elaborate plans, explain a little bit of the strat so people can get a taste of what they are clicking on before they click.

This post is directed toward dreki and other like-minded individuals:

Why in the hell should we have to look through 10 or 12 cards to figure out the point of your deck (or 20 or 30 in some idiotic cases)? That is amazingly retarded. I might actually -1 decks that DON'T have a description from now on after reading some of your inane babble. So what if we know the cards by heart? Tell us the combo so we can glance through and see how the rest of the deck works around said combo.

Not including strat is moronic, inconsiderate, and, quite frankly, a bore.

Oh, and you negated your own point, you moronic imbecile. You told visno to memorize card names and then said, "It's not what [the card is] called, it's what [the card] does."

And Kanta, being a good deck builder has nothing to do with this. A good deck builder could turn Mud Hole into a gem, but without some clue as to what is going through his mind, said deck builder's genius will be lost on us mere mortals. I'm sure your decks are simply amazing...
