its like you cant do anything that wins the game or people get mad
I would just say QFT, but that probably counts as spam, even in an Off Topic thread. Most people don't like losing, and a lot of those people would rather complain about it than work on a way to beat that strategy. I think the best way to deal with this is just to ignore their complaints. If you change your deck or playstyle because of them, you are validating them, whereas if you keep doing what you are doing, they will eventually have to realize that complaining is getting them nowhere, and then maybe they will try to adapt instead. Then again, seeing as how you are quite a competitive player, you probably already know that from firsthand experience.
Still, it sounds like your Ephara testing is going well. If you're not making people mad, then you're not trying hard enough.
I feel bad sometimes as well, Dan. I have a lot of cards, and I never play them. My foil Night of Souls Betrayal and Humilty never left my binder.
Trinisphere + Nether Void are also in the binder.
4Lark, I will look at your lost in a moment. What is your deck's win conditions? None, Salvaging Station, Planeswalker, Land Destruction, Wurmcoil Engine, Tokens + Swords?
This deck has a lot of cute cards, and too many high casting cost cards to make true control.
I don't want to dismember this deck apart like I do for most people, so give me a direction you want to go to. I understand you want to keep a flavour, but I'm wrong person for advice if that's your overall goal.
All my decks are built for speed, optimization, utility, survivability, and resiliency.
I tend to play the same cards in all my decks starting with my lands, mana rocks, and utility artifacts like Top, Trading Post, Crucible of Words.
Once you give me an idea of this deck, I can help you out, but for now - nothing.
locking up the board to the point that my opponents concede (most frequent thus far)
My overall goal is to make my opponents go mad. I want their hands empty. I want them to feel despair. I want them to give up all hope. So far, I've been meeting my goal. However, any deck has room for improvement.
The only cards I'm committed to are the creatures, the planeswalkers, and Sword of Feast and Famine. Everything else is up for discussion.

When I used to play on trice, I used to get people who would rage at me for my Marton mono red deck that has exactly one infinite combo option which I generally dont use. Its funny because I would be in the middle of killing everyone and people still hadn't read what my commander does lol.
I dont really bother with much online play anymore because it seems like people are faster to complain.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

I still go on cockatrice once in a while. Sure people complain a lot, but the great thing is that you can play a game quick whenever and you can leave when you want if people are annoying. I can understand if the people are too much. Either people complain at you for being too competitive, or playing a strat that they aren't prepared for, or you bring a casual deck and get destroyed by people with the most expensive decks because they're free on cockatrice. Still, sometimes I find a game where I don't immediately wish he people there ill. Those games make it worth it for me, mostly because I'm lazy.
The fact that I own these cards and don't play them makes me feel gross sometimes. But, you can only pack so many cards into a deck, right? :shrug
It strikes me as especially odd that you would sell off your fully altered deck before you would sell off $200 cards that you don't play. BTW, got the cards today...man it's even more amazing to see how well you blend and how perfectly smooth your work is. There is no way a card of this quality would ever be rejected by a judge.
I will sell off the altered cards because I have copies of everything in the deck already - my goal is to have 1 of every card I'll ever play, so Nether Void may not see a lot of action, but it's in the Cube, gets drafted, and when I build stax decks it sometimes makes it in there... sometimes.
Glad you got the cards and appreciate how flat they are. I've painted something like 450 extensions and think that I've got a pretty good system in place

Yea, makes sense. I suppose after doing 450+ extensions you start to get less precious over each piece, which I have always found is good for promoting artistic growth.
well to be fair to the guy, maybe the earth is flat. I mean have you ever personally been in space to see the earth as a sphere with your own eyes? Maybe all of modern science is actually just a cult.
