Title: Daily Combo Feedback
Post by: BlackJester on February 10, 2012, 07:26:20 PM
So, this wraps the sixth week of Daily Combos.  What do you think so far? ??? Leave some comments and suggestions.

I may take some time off  DC to work on something iMtG related that many of you will like.  We have to see how things roll.

Man, what am I supposed to do with the rest of their carcasses?  Lucy will only eat so many before one of her stomachs give out, and by the time I get around to {Incinerat}ing the leftovers the miasma will stink up the place. They're not worth reanimating either, as anyone will tell you.
How about, like, 25 goblins?

The problem of the Daily Combos is that they are "daily". If I were you I would limit them to two or three per week.

Would that be an improvement in everyone's opinion?  I wouldn't mind scaling back.

I think daily has 2 problems: one is that there are too many combos, and you can't appreciate and maybe think about all of them, so sometime you lose interest. Second is that it will wear off too fast. I'd like maybe one on thursday to bring to FNM, and one on Monday or Sunday to start the week

That sounds quite affordable and pleasantly logical. ðŸ'

Ah good!  Some criticism!  So my combos are too fast, too furious?  I was considering them like cartoons, a little something to put a smile on your face everyday. But when you're omnipresent here like me, you see things through a {Distorted Lens}.  I guess not everyone checks this forum daily. ðŸ'€

I do access this daily. The thing is not only you posts combos, and there are lots of other topics to see, so sometimes I don't see your combos

The Daily Combos, or whatever I rename it in the future, will always be "stickied" on the top part of the Combo Corner forum.  If you want to go back and check, just do a search for "DC" or the old ones should show up with "Daily".

No, I know where they are, I just don't give myself the time to read them all sometimes because I'm reading other topics. Usually I see though

Well, faithful readers, I have to say that I am flattered by your kind words.  And your kind poll votes too.  I really do enjoy presenting combos for you all, but the truth is that there is a non-infinite amount of them.  For me to post one every single day, I would quickly eat through the awesome ones and soon be scrambling to gather even mediocre synergies.  So, to preserve the sweetitude of the combos, I have decided to post a Standard combo on Thursdays for those who want to pack it for FNM (although I make not promises that they be competitive, only Standard).  On Mondays, I will post varying combos with different themes.  I am planning a regular rotation, but haven't committed to it quite yet.

As always, your humble Jester.

Agreed, see how long it took for me to respond.  I only read this section when I run out of reading the other threads.  Honesty is brutal sometimes......  You do have good combos though....just oversatured in here that's all 😊
