It has been expressed that the "daily" combos are too frequent to be enjoyable.  I like criticism, and I want to encourage your thoughts.

So, let me know how often you would like to see combos posted, and I'll just do whatever I feel like regardless.  ;)

I will probably end up changing the name, because "Daily Combos" doesn't really fly if they happen twice a week, does it?

5 times a week, M-F, so technically not daily.

That would actually be the most random
comment I've ever made if it wasnt for the fact that I wouldn't mind a daily combo twice a day. Yay moar polls plz!
I think that well would run dry pretty quick.

I think the hourly, moar pollz options are messing with the purpose of the poll...

That's why I gave people two votes.  One just for laughs!  ;D

Like I said, it doesn't matter anyway, 'cause I'm going to do whatever I want.  The illusion of choice is one tool for social manipu... oops!  I shouldn't give away my secrets.  teeheehee

Well that's weird.  Out of 14 members voting there have been 23 votes placed.  Clearly some people were able to vote a second time...  ???

I'll keep the polls running a little longer to give everyone interested a chance to voice their irrelevant opinion.  At this moment the votes are all quite evenly split.  This means that whichever choice I make, ~75% are going to be unhappy.  :P

I have decided to post twice a week, Monday and Thursday, with the odd combo as a bonus once in a while.  Monday's post will probably end up within Modern, or it could cycle through some of my previous themes: Classic, Budget, and Deck.  Thursday will be Standard combos for use in FNM.  I just hope that I can continue to generate combos for Standard and still give you stuff you haven't seen yet.  Everyone and their cat talks about Standard so it's hard to carve out new territory. 

On the bright side, in a couple of months I'll have a new batch of cards to discuss.

Now off with you!  I have experiments to conduct.

Keep them coming if people think they are too often then they should just read them at the frequency they desire nobody is forcing them to read them everyday.  Ps good job on this and all you do for us here :)

Thank you, thank you all.  I will do my best to make up for quantity will quality.  And I will still post random combos if the mood strikes, but I must post sparingly.  There's work to be done!
