Well it would also be good widespread such as nic fit and most edh decks can fall into the category. @FAMOUSWATERMELON and @ThatJunkMage

Hey, I was wondering if I could be featured as a Vampire deck specialist in Modern? I understand completely if this is an 'established' and competitive deck type only deal, but I feel as though my expertise in Vampires in Modern is (without sounding cocky and douchey) as close to perfected as it can get in Modern. I have given many a TappedOut member perspective on their Modern Vampire decks, and done extensive research into the different viable Vampire related decks in Modern.

As I previously mentioned, I totally get if this is a sort of Meta only thing.

Where's me?!

I also vote nbarry223 for Bloom Titan.

All of your decks are not established archetypes so i think thats why u aren't listed.

He could put down "unique decks that you most likely won't ever see someone else play"

true true

TheBoraxKid I guess? I mean, Vampires is not a huge thing, but I could definitely put it in.

Femme_Fatale I had Barry on the list originally, he actually asked that I take him down. Also, what exactly do you specialize in? XD

@FAMOUSWATERMELON: Well, that's why I was just wondering. If these are just meta archetypes I understand why a unused archetype like Vampires wouldn't make the list.

Well ... I do specialize in Puresteel Paladin decks. Ranging from tempo to voltron to storm. But I don't see that being an established archetype any time soon. Hoping BFZ will come out with some new Misty or 0 drop to make my deck flip the table.

It isn't an archetype you will ever come across, and your decks are usually expensive enough to not warrant budget consideration like Vampires.

Maybe adding in a budget-only section? That way you can just shoehorn anything that doesn't particularly fit into the real meta, like Vampires, allies, Loam and Restore Balance, into that section instead. I know that budget modern is a huge thing, so maybe covering that could be of use. Then you could put up some general budgeteers as references to help with any renegade budget deck that isn't on the list.

I mean, it's not fabulously necessary, I guess. Budget doesn't mean worse, just a bit jankier :)

Not implying that you section off the bad decks from the good, but moreso the expensive decks from the cheap ones. Because this list seems to be all-inclusive as to what's being covered, and modern budget is a really big market, I was just saying you may as well appeal to it. So a place for the Mono Green stompies of the world where they aren't being overshadowed by Junk and Twin. It's totally fine to have reach in your resources, making them more appealing to a wider range of audiences. Of course, this isn't my thing so I don't particularly have a say as to what goes in it, but that's what I would be doing here.

But the thing is that would be separating the decks into two categories that don't really mean anything when it comes to Modern XD I mean, regardless, modern decks are going to be expensive. And that doesn't really mean anything. You were talking about Green stompies being overshadowed by Twin, but I've seen stompies beat Twin (granted, it was a pretty crazy match, but it happened :) ).

I think you misunderstood what I said, FAMOUSWATERMELON, I was saying I wouldn't mind giving advice on any archetype, and that I simply felt you were over-estimating people's familiarity with certain archetypes. I was trying to say that there should be more of a "modern" hub that people could go to for advice, since there are decks that don't fall under a certain archetype, many of the archetypes have blurred lines dividing them, and most of the users listed are familiar enough with a large majority of the modern decks to give useful advice to your average user on just about any modern deck, even homebrews.

I didn't ask to be taken down, simply that you rethink how you are going about accomplishing the goal.

My question to you in that case is if someone were to present you with a Bloom deck, would you be able to suggest what to take out and what to put in, justifying in what quantity and why? I could do that for any Mill deck in modern, but not for Assault Loam (as an example). I just didn't feel like I received a complete answer, so I played it safe and took you off.

If that's the requirement, add me to Control, possibly Bloom, possibly Delver, and possibly Jund.

Though that probably isn't the requirement.

Well we haven't actually come up with requirements yet, that was just off the top of my mind XD

Yes, I could, but I try to stray away from telling people they MUST include this card. Instead, I give them as many options (feasible ones) as I can think of and let them decide for themselves. We all have different playstyles, and how you tweak a deck should reflect your playstyle. A control player and a rdw type player, for example, will have different takes on the same archetype. The control player will generally take the safer route, while another type of player will want the more flashy and risky route (glass-cannon, all-in, etc. there's been many names).

Of course. There are many different styles of play that use different cards. All I'm saying is that you should know the different strengths and weaknesses of the cards and why card X would be better than card Y in this particular build. Or even just make sure that the deck owner understands them so he can make his own choice.

Also, I really need to start coming up with actual requirements XD Totally open to suggestions, guys.

This is now one of the top decks on the site. Congrats. throws confetti

That's pretty impressive considering that I've deckcycled this once XD

Where's the Johnny category!?

Nah, jk, but I think I'm pretty dang knowledgeable of RDW myself (being as if I were to ever play competitively, that's what I would play), as well as Affinity.

In Modern Runlue? I thought you only played that in standard.

Yup, Modern as well. Of course, Standard I'm fantastic at it... sorta, but I'm also well versed in Modern RDW as well.
