LOL
So everyone playing magic should play whatever is the Number One winning deck and forget about every other card ever printed?
I know, just sounded funny the way you put it, as if you're saying "you're a moron if you don't play the same deck as everyone else," cuz, ya know, that would be soooooo much fun.... *rolls eyes*
The one and only problem I have with net-decks is when I play 8 matches in a row, against different people, and every last one of them is playing the exact same deck... It may be optimal, sure whatever, I'll concede to that. The fact of the matter is, what fun is a game that never evolves unless "some major player at Nats made a new deck, Lets all make the same deck..."
It'd be like buying a videogame with 400 levels, only to find out that every level is actually the same level with the enemies in different places (just cuz the cards come up in a different order, ya know)... I'm sorry, but if 6 out of 8 people in a mini are all playing Omnichord and the other 2 are playing rogue decks, one of the Omnichords are gonna win by simple mathematics, any deck has a chance of winning any game, but the coolest, most badarse deck in the world in a 8-man tourney has a very slim chance of going through and beating 3-4 Omnichords in a row, the odds of getting the right cards to beat it that many times in a row are against you...
Anyway, to swap to the other side for a moment, I don't have a real "problem" with net-decks other than that they do make the game VERY black and white. I figure that as long as people are using the same net decks, I can try to work ways around those decks in particular, mainly because I know that chances are in my favor that I will be up against at least one Blink, Omnichord, Control...
So, plan for it... *shrugs*
I like to be original, would rather lose with an original deck idea than win with someone else's... but, that doesn't mean everyone has to do that. Otherwise, I'm telling THEM how they ought to play, and I would never do that...
