Dark Confidant with multiple cards costing 5+?
Brainstorm and Top with 0 fetch lands?
Mana Leak in Legacy?
This is just great deck building.

Wow, I forgot to put this on casual. Thanks for reinforcing why I play with friends. This is an experiment more than reality. You're not helpful at all.

You ask for help, so I point out flaws in the deck. I don't see how that isn't helpful. Now you know what to fix.

I had marked the deck wrong while at work. I do see your points and those are helpful, but you don't have to be a dick at the same time.

Komor, turbo is really....abrasive to everyone. Don't take it personally.

Agreed, the points made are all pretty transparent and helpful. The arrogance isn't, especially when asking for help, but that's pretty typical these days.

Konor makes a very good point. Lately their has been a rise in negativity, and it really needs to stop. Turbo, as valid as your points are, you could have worded it much better so as not to offend.

What's more important? What someone says or how they say it? In a situation like this, where you're looking for help, I'd say the former.

Is it really so hard to take another 5 seconds to rephrase your words so as to not sound antagoistic? You can give the same amount of help, if not more, and without getting under anyone's skin. A lot of newer users have had negative experiences and as a community we need to help put a stop to it. You can help by being more polite in general.

It's cool guys. I think we've all learned something. I'll be more careful to address my subjects in the proper forum. Putting this deck in a legacy forum was a mistake, but I'll say the elitist culture does get tiring. I don't know where the image of "prideful nerd" really started, but it's not just a MTG thing. I've experienced it in video games and even in plain old conversation. I think what's tiring about it is that a lot of elitists act like they know a lot more than they really do. Holding exclusive information privvy to yourself really doesn't assert any kind of superiority. In fact, I feel most people who act that way usually expose a pretty big inferiority complex and are pretty fragile...I've always been in support of helping a person as much as possible, somewhere we've crossed lines as not only a gaming community but as a culture that admiring flaunting a big ego is what the coolest kid does when really it's not. Who really likes a guy who offers a helping hand by treating your vulnerability as a weakness? It's pretty obvious, and frankly the "coolest" guys don't act this way, they don't need to because they've got more confidence than that...

Nope! Will I do it? Probably not.
"Holding exclusive information privvy to yourself really doesn't assert any kind of superiority."
This sentence I don't get, unless you're referring to some other situation. I offered every critique I got at a glance. (But somehow I failed to noticed the manabase. Failure on my part) I didn't hold anything back I could've used to offer more assistance.

Yeah, that sentence you're quoting wasn't referring to you Turbo. I put that in there for anyone else who may be reading. Bottom line is too many people think they're smarter than they are, or likeable, when in reality they're just assholes.

You'll tend to get more feedback if you post specifically what's wrong or what you want help with. It also helps to have a deck description that describes what your deck does or at least gives an overview.
