I get VERY angry when all people play are netdecks and decks that are the same old thing. So here is a semi-budget deck for the standard player who does not want to spend $500 on a {kessig wolf run} ramp deck.
Alright I really wanted to find a use for the card {Gloom Surgeon} so I came up with this idea.
CREATURES
4x {Gloom Surgeon}
4x {Laboratory Maniac}
4x {Misthollow Griffen}
SPELLS
4x {Ranger's Guile}
4x {Increasing Savagery}
4x {Revenge of the Hunted}
2x {Postmortem Lunge}
1x {Doomblade}
1x {Go for the Throat}
2x {Tribute to Hunger}
2x {Mana Leak}
4x {Lure}
LANDS
4x {Hinterland Harbor}
4x {Darkslick Shores}
4x {Woodland Cemetery}
4x {Drowned Catacomb}
4x {Forest}
3x {Swamp
1x {Island}
So the Idea of the deck is to use {Gloom Surgeon}, {Revenge of the Hunted}, and {Lure} along with {Laboratory Maniac} to mill yourself for the win. Keep the Surgeon protected with {Ranger's Guile} and then swing at your opponent. Force them to block and mill yourself for a lot!
Hope you enjoyed this and I might post some more of these semi-budget decks for you if this is well recived.
Thanks,
Thorn

Wouldn't this be considered a net deck as well?

No, he is not simply taking a deck he saw on the Internet and copying it

GOT HIM!
I'm glad someone found a use for {Gloom Surgeon}! This is actually a pretty interesting deck idea. I like seeing budget decks that work.

you keep referencing net decking in a majority of your posts.
Inigo Montoya: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Net deck = getting a deck from the Internet. Hence the word net.
This is the Internet. Posting it on here and someone copying it. Is getting a deck from the Internet. Hence net decking. :D
Glad to give you guys a lesson. Lol jk
If you didn't understand that. I meant people who copy this deck that thorn has posted would be net decking. Not thorns deck itself.
So you're saying that Thorn copied this deck from elsewhere.

Most decks that are considered "net decks" are the ones that people have proven to win with and have a high percentage of winning with that are posted on the Internet. Thorn is not really net decking bc he had his idea and is merely sharing it. He hasn't proven it to win tournaments and I doubt that everyone is going to go out and buy all these cards. So yes, he has posted it here but haven't we all done that by posting our ideas on this forum. So we are essentially all net decking whenever we post an idea on this forum. It's not doing it for the sake of winning. We do it because we are being creative and trying to think of every possible scenario so that the cards that are not considered "winners" don't just sit in our drawers and collect dust. Very different my friend.
I wouldn't consider seeing a deck online and getting an idea for a fun deck to goof around with with my friends as "Net Decking". But you can feel free to define terms however you like, Kuberr. Thanks for the lessons. ;)
To borrow from a Yu-Gi-Oh! post (I know, I know, but I think it applies here too):
"Netdecking" is the practice of copying a Championship-winning Deck as used in either Nationals, Shonen Jump Championships, World Championships, or any other high-profile event where Deck Lists are posted.
Netdecking is often referred to negatively, being called "a practice that involves zero creativity and is usually done by players who are only interested in a cheap, effortless win, believing they can only achieve such a victory by copying an established winning deck" (see Cookie Cutter). For this reason, it is a practice that is considered to be shunned upon by many players. Some Duelists argue that while the decks that win major tournaments are indeed relatively the same, it is because the decks are of a tried and true method, and have shown themselves to be consistently placing high, so people who want to win will try and have the best odds they can have, as it is human nature to be competitive and wanting to be better than other people. It is also debated that there is no reason for a person who uses an Original Deck to be seen as higher than a netdecker, as it is how the individual enjoys playing that counts. Some duelists also blame the formats created by Konami for allowing that to happen.
Although similar, the terms "Netdecking" and "Cookie Cutter" are subtly different. Whilst "Cookie Cutter" refers to a deck without a distinct strategy (simply a deck of the best and most popular cards available at the time), netdecking refers to creating a deck by copying the deck of another.
Isn't this in the wrong place?
Just trying to give people a change from the average decks that everyoe plays.
Ps: Love the Inego Montoya quote. ;)
Not gonna lie. I really like this deck. It seems like a very efficient way to win when all the scars rotates

I think it's a great idea. I even have a deck that has a similar idea that I never posted because it isn't good with scars block still around.
Creativity +1. :) me like. Too bad it isn't legacy or edh. :(

Creativity for who? Thorn?
Well yes. Making a deck that's not seen everywhere else.
