Net decking

[Kuberr]

I didn't net deck when I started I played for fun and then I got more competitive and wanted to win so I had to spend more and more money and I don't wanna invest 100+ $ in a deck that isn't going to turn a profit for me in some way so i wanna see what cards and decks are worth investing in then expanding off of those decks to fit my stupid meta lol more recently I've been focus on my own ideas but since aggro is now toppin and the only topping control deck is solarflare of course I'm gonna copy his deck to some extent but I don't see net decking as a bad thing at all, I dont wanna invest in something that isnt gonna win, and I don't play just to win I have fun talking with other player and I dont get butt hurt if I lose, unless their a dick, I mean I get disappointed but I expand off that and I love the ppl at my shop and I always have fun when I play wether or not if I win winning is just a plus

I agree to some extent.

I don't mind losing at all. It's cool and all, but of I were to use someone else's deck and lose... Then it has to mean I am just a horrible player. If I use my own deck with my own creativity and win, doesn't that make me a better player?

"me" and "I" being a general "everyone". I hope people realize this.

You are coming off a little condescending here.

Maybe somebody just got around to reading an older comment of yours.

But it's a web based forum. How can anyone sense my emotions or feeling with my words when that's all you see. Words.

Not making much sense here, guy. Please help me understand. Is my English not correct?

You just have strong opinions, and because of people's personal experiences your words may have a positive or negative conotation that you didn't intend.

Thank you, Jace.
I couldn't think of the words to say it.

Sure, guy, maybe I can help.  Since your English may not be strong, I'll try to use simple words.  All we have to do is read the words you post with regards to player types:

Useless.

Why must there be names for people? Lol if you enjoy to play the. You enjoy to play. Whether it be casual or competitive, why not just say you're that. Instead of the ridiculous names like "spike" and "bob" or whatever. Lmao.

Waste of time in my opinion.

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it useless.  Spike, Timmy, Johnny, Melvin, Vorthos (yes Vorthos is a player type, one who likes the flavor of magic cards, the art, the names, the feelings you get from cards.) are all nicknames we use to talk about aspects of the game that players enjoy.

For players familiar with the idea, I can just say "I'm a Johnny but turning Timmy because of my group."

This is way easier than saying "I enjoy building decks around combos, the interactions of cards, or various themes because I like showing off my skills as a deck builder.  However, I find myself becoming more interested in big splashy effects, large monsters, and grand crazy stuff, because I am starting to enjoy getting together with my friends and sharing great experiences because of my group."

Then I guess I'm a billy on weekdays, Joshua on weeknights, and zaine on the weekends.

Condescension - showing or implying a usually patronizing descent from dignity or superiority.

this would be disregarding factors like familarity with a deck and deck vs deck interactions.

what you're asserting is too black and white. if i make an anti-ramp deck and beat every ramp player that does not necessarily make me the better player. people who play with net decks and lose against counter tech are not horrible players by default. going by your explanations jon finkel is a "worse" player than alexander haynes and brian kibler.

It seems you got mad at the joke I made. I apologize.

But Going back to the point I made before. You could neve have known because there is nO inflection in the words I type. So on both of our parts. Don't you think things like this would run smoother if it's a private matter? Like a pm letting me or whomever know what their issue is.

Instead calling people out publicly is very offensive in my opinion. How are we supposed to all get along when people gang up on everyone?

Please think about it, BJ. Instead of feeding the fire. Doesn't make It better.

The very definition of a forum is open discussion for all to see.  Understand the concept that your line of communication is open to interpretation.....guy.  And put yourself in ppl's shoes and try to think how this is going to be interpreted.....ohh and don't follow the end of a sentence with, guy.......guy

if nobody else laughed it wasn't a very good joke.

how mature if not ironic because...

Lol I see people can't take my opinion without getting mad.

You guys rock.

hmmm interesting. yes very mature.

[Kuberr]

Point proven. Lol
Can't even talk to people now without degrading talk.

Okay kids. I'll stop right here.

[scarsabrex]

There is a convention in text/typing/forums that exists called "emoticons" that you may be familiar with.  You are correct, we can't tell inflection, all we have to go on is your choice of words and attitude you project based on those words.  You could use  and many others to show emotion and let readers know you are joking and to lighten the mood.

I do think about it.  I felt you were being condescending.  If you want to be condescending, that's your choice.  I was just making the observation.

Unless you're really old, calling people kids is still condescending. I think you're not getting people's point. While a chunk of the community are probably "kids" a lot probably including the moderators are not. :/

[Kuberr]

Define really old. Lol

:X

[Rass]

I think jester is an online bully troller



Jkjk <-----------this is how you can tell I am joking

[Willthomjr]

Lol sorry. I'm a young buck myself at 25 so I'd say 42 (dads age old fart)
