Hi. Yes, this is a good start.

When I was writing my primer I used google documents and made it so that anyone with a link could edit it. If you do that you can get loads of people involved.

ChiefBell Any idea on how to enlarge text?

ChiefBell says... #3

(fontsize=X)TEXT HERE(/font)

Where X is a number (usually around 6 to 10).

Replace square brackets with triangle ones. ( becomes < and ) becomes >

Great work, I think that mardu control, or midrange to that extent deserves a spot as a top dog

should be (font size=)TEXT(/font)

I wrote (fontsize=) by mistake (notice there's a space in my corrected version).

PutridLeech Right, I forgot it did make waves early on in the season. Will add it.

Are you going to update this once Theros rotates? Because unlike Modern, which is fairly stable, Standard decks will change drastically over only a couple weeks, and it's going to be hard to keep this updated. But so far, it's awesome!

I can write something for an archetype if you like, I just need to know what you want me to write for.

Somnus21 says... #10

golffore297: If you want, you can write about Mardu Control/Midrange. I don't get that archetype much as I'd never played or played against it.

Bant Heroic is a thing, Spalshed for Dromakas Command

The Esper Dragons archetype is primarily U/B whilst some where U/B/w, Contrary to the mentioned UW Lists.

UB Control , Like Adrian Sullivans list deserves its own writeup as it is a seperate archetype to the Dragon Control decks.

Other than that man good job!

bijschjdbcd: Oh yeah, forgot about Bant Heroic.

Esper Dragons is primarily / ? Okay, then.

U/B Control has it's own writeup in there, along with Sultai Control.

Thanks!

bijschjdbcd says... #13

All the Dragon decks where U/B splash White for Ojutai. You have it listed as Azorius/ Esper where it should be Dimir/Esper.

Sorry didn't see the Dimir Sultai write up.

Okay, thanks!

I'm still working on that Mardu Midrange section if you still need it.

April 19, 2015 10:53 p.m.

Somnus21 says... #16

I still do. Go ahead and send it to me when you have it.

bijschjdbcd says... #17

Abzan Megamorph, Bant Megamorph and Mono Blue 5 Coloyr dragons.

And 4c Collected Company.

May 14, 2015 7:27 p.m.

Somnus21 says... #18

bijschjdbcd The Megamorph decks may be fit all into one primer. Mono Blue deserves it's own primer, though.

Also, what is 4c Collected Company?

May 14, 2015 9:51 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #19

9-0d GP Paris.

There is a list on my page.

And yeah the UG Devotion deck deserves a writeup.

Somnus21 says... #20

bijschjdbcd I'll wait for further analysis on the 4C CoCo before I write about it. It may well just be a fluke. / does look like it needs attention though, with the number of times it's appeared here and there.

Also... wow. I knew people said this would be hard to keep up to date, but I have got to get started immediately with these primers if I don't want to get snowballed lol.

May 14, 2015 10:27 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #21

Ask Epoch to feature it.

Potentially get some people to help.

I agree on the CoCo but we shall see.

UG Devotion is actually good.

May 14, 2015 10:42 p.m.

Somnus21 says... #22

bijschjdbcd I don't know if this is worth bothering the admins for. Is it? Also, the draft for U/G Devotion is up, currently working on 5C Blue Dragons.

May 14, 2015 10:55 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #23

Well it can't hurt to ask.

Chief Bells was listed at the top of the Modern section.

Somnus21 says... #24

bijschjdbcd I'll just link this thing to the Standard forums. Maybe that'll get some aattention.

Might just be me that missed it, but where is Sultai Whip? o.o ( Or Sidisi Whip, if you want to be fancy. )
