I think we need to have like auditions for it since it is competitive... Like submitting a home brew deck tech (NO net decks) and like the top 5 or something make it

Isn't part of playing competitive working with netdecks also? You know..because those are the decks you're most likely to face on a competitive level.
Yes, but the next level up in my opinion is finding non-netdecks that do well in your meta that no one is expecting and doesnt have sideboards for. ie, cifka's eggs in pro tour rtr. It was a sorta net deck but no one was really expecting it which allowed it to do well because no sideboards were tuned against it.
Edit: also sam black's the aristocrats is a good example of this as well as kiblers modern naya
could you use an archetype, but make it completely original?

I could create a .weebly site? Or maybe a blog? I think that writing will really help my playskill. We might be able to get a streamer or something too.

If we're serious about this, I can pull some strings and get us a website hosted for free. No promises, but I think I can do it.

With serious people already committed to this project you can have http://team.imtg.org and hosting on my server.
Very kind of you! I was just offering.

That would be cool I think

Bozo_Law

What would it be called? Team iMTG doesn't do it for me. We need something catchy like ChannelFireball.

If we still have slots open I would like to be included if possible

Bozo_Law

Okay I will try to make an organized list and getting writing samples or whatever you want to be doing to make sure you are good.

I want writing samples or a stream link from everybody sent to me or DG.

A writing sample can be anything from a tournament report to a deck tech to whatever. People included are expected ~ 1 article per week. Streamers can do whatever they want. People whose articles we like will be sent a message saying they are in. We want good, polished material. We can also post videos like the ones on Channelfireball.com.

Moneekahh

I wish I could be a part of this. I started writing an article for imtg in my spare time (I have next to no spare time ever). My article isn't even close to done and I started it over a week ago! This is an awesome idea guys! :)

Then let ChannelFireball do the branding and sponsoring and stuff :D

What if they don't, for whatever reason. Like, their cat ate their iPhone or something.

Lol. I'll give 'em a break. I think me and DG will be captains or if there is someone better than me, them.

Fair enough ;) Can I write one as a guest writer?
