No mea culpa, nor yours, but the people's.
I mean, man, we've talked about this for ages now, and a lot of kids and all still prefer to copy decks than build their own. We've said how 50 percent is PLAYING a deck, but the other 50 is actually BUILDING it. Oh well.
You know, we also said all the "you don't know what you're missing" and all that. We've unleashed philosphies and all, they don't listen; some do, but MOST, don't. I remember that one time we had an argument(not a war, but, an argument; surprise
!)at MTGnews over this issue, the exact same issue. They don't listen, they don't care.
You know, at the end, we're not the ones who are missing on, they are. Basically, they're wasting their time since in MY stupid opinion, I believe that 90, NOT 50, but 90 percent of the game and its fun comes from deciding which color(s) reflect your style and playing it your OWN way, the other 10 percent is just plain playing and testing out YOUR OWN strategies. It's like buying cloths: YOU DON'T GO BUYING what you're friends wear, or EXACTLY what your friends wear, you buy your own, cloths that fit YOU, cloths that YOU like.
EXAMPLE: I'm not saying that if someone is playing a B/U control(which is happening a lot now thanks to Invasion, and, um, Purple Girl
), but I'm saying that there ARE more than plenty of different mostly equal in power B/U control decks, I'm not going to mention them, think for you own people
. That's just an example.
Whenever *I* see a Rebel deck, I see the usual Gliders, and the usual "weenie" basics. Whatever happened to Rebel/U? Or Rebel/B? Or Rebel/ANY COLOR? Or Rebellion Control?
Blastoderm SHOULD be common in many decks, since everyone realizes how good it is, but I don't see many decks adding 2 or 3 Revives in order to make Blastoderm or the WHOLE Green base better. Come ON, imagin, play a Blastoderm, give your opponent a 3 turn headache, and then, BOOM! Revive! KABOOM, another Blastoderm, WHOOOOOOAAM, another headache!
There are a lot of stuff that people fair to come up with since they're busy taking MY, YOUR, and EVERYONE elses ideas. How stupid.
Oh well, we've ranted enough, or atleast, I have. I'm gonna say good bye to these things, for now
.
