Last night I had spent some time sharing and discussing my intentions of playing in the Pro Tour with my deck that has a factually proven win rate of over 95%. I awoke this morning to find that the thread has vanished from existence on these boards. Now as much as I feel the urge to vent in frustration over this unjustified act of removal I will keep my thoughts and feelings to myself to avoid instigating and provoking other reckless and impulsive moderators who would get the thrill of their day to close a thread such as mine.
This thread does have a point because I believe the questions asked in my previous thread have been overlooked but in this case I'll get straight to the point. If I wanted to start playing Magic again how much money would I have to invest for drafts at FNM or my local card shop? Do I get to keep the deck that I draft afterwords? I have a stack of common/uncommons and some rares that are fairly cheap and worthless but they are standard, what do you recommend that I do with these cards? What I want to understand is how would I build the basis for a deck overtime while having fun doing it instead of depleting hundreds of dollars to create my novelty deck that has proven to be unbeatable in countless matches.
BTW, 95% win percentage typically means you need to diversify your opponents... there is ALWAYS a bad matchup somewhere... sometime... whether you are hosed on purpose or someone just happens to have the answers to every question your deck poses.
With that said, I hope you find your win percentage really is that high, because that would be amazing.
You should probably just buy the deck straight out... if your only goal is to assemble said insanely powerful deck...
Sell what you don't need either to shops or individuals.
Good luck. It wont be easy..
This being said could I technically draft a couple times until I've compiled a suffice amount of rares and uncommons and then proceed to make my own constructed deck for standard? Also, at FNM do they do just drafts or do they allow you to bring a constructed deck to play with, do drafts and these matches go on at the same time giving the option to players of choosing what they want to do?
FNM can be one of a few events.. you will need to check with your LGS to see what their schedule is.
Typically it is either draft or standard.
Rare drafting can be a good way to get rares.. but is often a bad way to try and win.
You will usually spend more money on product than you would if you just wanted to build a certain deck, however, if you want to trade, i recommend building trade fodder to do that either by drafting, opening boxes or winning free product via tournaments.

When I use my deck there is never a bad matchup and if there is that categorizes itself into the leftover 5%. I've tested my deck countless and countless times and it has pretty much encountered every single meta deck that is out on the web. The lack of creativity and originality of the Magic community when deck building forces me to constantly play against the same recycled decks over and over, all of which my deck is fully prepared against with a sideboard that in the event the deck that I am not playing against is meta, I'll be ready for it the next match.
Currently the cost of my deck is incredibly expensive and the money for it is out of my reach. I'm also on the fence on deciding to invest such a large sum of cash on this trading card game.

Those are some pretty strong words about the community as a whole. How many games have you played with this deck? Where do you typically play? What sorts of decks have you come up against?

The format will that this supposed uber-deck will exist in will largely dictate how you go about building it. Eternal formats like Legacy or Modern will allow you time to spread the investment in cards out. Standard, on the other hand, will require you to pay up front if you want to get any mileage out of this "deck" before parts of it rotate or become obsolete in a shift due to a new set (or hoser card).
I'm guessing that you get your "95%" win rate in various online venues. The question you have to ask yourself is if the strength of your opponents are representative of what you will face in real sanctioned play. I'm willing to bet that the answer is no, especially if you are supposedly going to be a Pro Tour staple in short order.

In hindsight they do seem like pretty heavy words to use against a community but am I lying? You and I both know that most of the decks out there are all meta and easily predictable, I'm surprised no one has tested and devised such a powerful deck as mine.
The amount of games I've played with my deck are countless. I have been testing it day in and day out for a month and a half now. Each day I perfect it and tweak it in all the right areas. I did all of this using Magic Workstation which allows me to play online against other players. Thanks to the amazing and convenient functionality of the software I know all the probabilities and rates of certain card combinations that I could draw.
During my testing I've come against pretty much all the meta decks that you and I both know of. Humans, Zombies, Control, Pod, Burn decks, all of them.

So, you solved Standard? If so, congratulations. Hope it works for you for the next 2 months when adding M13 mucks with the works.

I'm not sure if any of you have seen my previous thread but I have mentioned specifically and clearly that I would not reveal my decklist because of the potential of the deck. No one other than me knows the deck and its entirety and I plan to keep it that way. If it were to leak out I wouldn't be surprised if the meta game would be shifted if not drastically affected. Additionally, the last time I was on this subject of conversation some anonymous upset moderator(s) have closed my thread. I didn't mention anything to upset any other members of these boards and it is not my fault if they upset themselves and cannot handle the fact that someone is better than them and has managed to manifest such a powerful deck that they could have done but were just too lazy to do so and instead chose to netdeck and "win" against other unoriginal netdeckers. And this is a fact that both you and I know for sure and if you cannot come to your senses and honestly admit that they it cannot be helped.
This guy is a ****ing troll. His other (deleted?) thread was about how he was the best magic player ever, goes undefeated on MWS, but has no friends to play with. He was all like "omg gaiz how do I go pro without friends?"

No, they closed your thread because you were trolling.
I may not be a professional Magic player but I am well on my way. So in regards to your question a pro would be someone who plays Magic like no other. Someone who calculates and analyses every single possible action and outcome that could occur. Someone who plays Magic with a wide array of options to make each turn. As of now I meet all of these qualifications so you should be expecting to see me advance up to the professional realm sometime soon.
Xtol bro, you better be trolling, because if you are seriously this arrogant, you have a harsh awakening coming.
I believe that I have enough social competence to slip into a party or two, potentially wooing some attractive females that would not mind spending the evening performing the booty dance on me.
I did all of this using Magic Workstation which allows me to play online against other players.
Saying you tested against people on MWS for Magic is like saying you practiced MMA fighting against 5 year olds in the sandbox. Doesn't prove much.

Odds of pulling a JtMS from a WWK pack: 1:80
Odds of pulling any specific rare in 5th Edition: 1:133
So, on average, 1 JtMS every 2.222 boxes or 1 Bird of Paradise every 3.694 boxes. Yeah, I'll take my odds with Mythics, they are easier to get than old rares.

Often you keep what you draft.
Sell what you don't need either to shops or individuals.
