Netdecking

[Mattao19]

To my point from before.  What happened to all the people who would create a random home brew ALL THE TIME, not because it's winning a SCG somewhere else, but because it's a good combo, and fun to play...

I guess the old days of MTG is gone, and it's all mainstream now!

That's 95% of my decks except I had to net deck this Rakdos one it was just awesome!

Well I'm pretty sure from when you played, was the Internet nearly as big as it is now? Cause I don't think it was.

It's a huge resource that is a great help.

Just look for those who win tournements within the first month of a new set.

Exactly kaleo. Then shortly after thousands of people will net deck those winning decks. I have over 30 decks. All consistently winning decks accept the ones made for the lolz (I've got 2 or 3 that don't even have win cons lol). None net decked. Now I have used the internet to find synergies and cards that fit my deck style but never an entire deck list.

Oh it's sooo true there's 2 types of people who play Esper Control:
1. The guys who are the biggest dbags in history and,
2. Actually no, there is only one type of Esper player

😭

I personally love my home brew deck

It's my only standard deck, so my LGS is getting used to it, but most don't know it still. I just added desecration demon to it. He was my perfect bomb missing.

I'm bringing game day champ players (they love displaying their mat) to actual frustration. Their net decks aren't crushing me and I'm actually doing moves that crush them (8/8-10/10 double strike tramples coming at you!)

I've added enough removal and saves where Im not relying on a card for winning and a few heroes downfall don't do anything to my creature roster

Thoughtseize me all you want: you're still not going to take my critical cards.


With a net deck: they could easily know my win cons and what my deck is and how to beat it.

With my homebrew deck: unless you've played me consistently, you won't know what my deck strategy is.

That's why I like net decks too, as they allow me to test myself against what tournaments will have.

What deck do you run?

[MuggyWuggy]

It's a Jund deck that revolves around blood rush ghor clans and {flesh//blood}/{armed//dangerous}

With master of cruelties & sire of insanity late game win cons/defenses

Throw in some lolly trolls, spike jesters and dreg manglers and a lot of removal/zaps

Super fun. I love blowing up 3 bombs in a row, take mine I don't mind ill take your next 3

Yeah! Those are the people you know are good.

^^^This is what people should do instead of net-decking. Do research, get ideas for what works and what doesn't then compile a deck, test it, tweak it and use it. You still get to make competitive decks but they are your own.

I took second place at my theros game day using my home brew esper deck with the infinite ætherling/Obzedat combo, losing to a middle aged dude that bought the aggro blue devotion deck card for card :l

Afterwards he goes on to admit he bought it just to win the Elspeth playmat and how he "normally wouldn't play a deck like this around you kids" (I play at a small lcs)

[Mattao19]

Infinite Aetherling Obzedat combo?

[Coffee Vampire]

I think he is talking about how {Ætherling} and {Obzedat, Ghost Council} can be recurred with {Whip of Erebos}, and then you can keep them until they die again if they survive the turn. Rinse and repeat!
