Another deck hub suggestion
TappedOut forum

So I've been looking at APPLE01DOJ's deck;
BLΔCK ::Rock Deck Shell::
And it got me thinking...Could TappedOut use a Hub intended for deck shells so players could have a basic structure for a deck and adapt it how they see fit?
Say I pick up a new format and want to build a tier one or two deck to get my feet wet. The ability to go in and see what core cards of say...modern sligh or legacy affinity would be very valuable.
What does everyone think?

You could make the argument that any deck can be considered a shell. The thing about looking at other decks is that it usually naturally gives you ideas for starting points or improvements.

You make a valid point Epoch. I think the biggest strength would be allowing for simpler differentiation between core/vital cards for the archetype and optional, flexible, metagame driven slots. Like I said in my first comment, it could also open up the conversation about what those cards are.
I think a more advanced/intermediate player in a format is more adept at looking at a 60 card decklist and saying..."I could change this card and this card to suit my style/budget without affecting the playability of the deck." This would be a resource for players who are new to a format and are unsure what is out there. Legacy is probably the best example, with fewer flex spots and a larger card pool.

This one I agree with Epochalyptik on. If you are interested in a certain archetype, you simply have to look at decks of that archetype, pull out the good ideas and the ideas that you like, then scrap the stuff you don't like.
There are also many resourceful sites where you can see any format's Meta, that has deck lists up on those sites.

On this note, I wonder if T/O will ever set up an official primer system. That would be amazing.

It would also be a good place for conversation around what is the core of said archetypes.
