==Split==
I believe that we need to split decks bewteen{{sic}} current competive{{sic}} decks and past decks. As is we have older decks missed in and it makes it a bad source of information unless we specify.[[User:SorryGuy]]
:Agreed, what we have now will be current, and we will add on an "Old Decks" sections. I didn't even think of this issue, glad you noticed.'''[[User:Voice of All(MTG)|<font color="blue">Voice</font><font color="darkblue"> of </font><font color="black">All]]'''</font><sup>[[user_talk:Voice_of_All(MTG)|<font color="blue">Talk</font>]]</sup> 16:50, 15 December 2005 (CST)


Is Madness viable currently? Has it not been completely metagamed out? [[User:QmunkE|QmunkE]] 02:59, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

What in the world is Hypnotic Control? I'm trying to help flesh out some of the standard decks but I've never heard of that one. Is it suppose to be BW Control? --[[User:Shadowin|Shadowin]] 17:50, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
It has been suggested that we add categories for Standard for historic purposes like <nowiki>[[Category: Ravnica-Time Spiral Standard]], [[Category: Time Spiral-Lorwyn Standard]]</nowiki>. What do people think?  --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 01:51, 15 April 2008 (BST)
 
While attempting to make this stuff better, I noticed that including the category Tournament Decks tag on the individual deck page caused it to show up below the edited stuff. Obviously this causes some funny looking stuff. What would be the best way to make this stuff look right? Not include the category or change the category page? --[[User:Shadowin|Shadowin]] 19:02, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
 
I don't know about trying to have multiple sections on 'current' and 'older' tourney decks. We would have to update the lists for EVERY major tournament. The Wiki{{sic}} should not be where people go for 'tech,' but for information in general -- if they want to know what decks are doing well, there is mtg.com and elsewhere. The deck articles here should provide information on the origins, evolution, and success of decks, but if we tried to keep it 'up to date,' it would just become a bad strategy site. Not to mention, the potential for posters to keep trying to post their 'competative' decks, which could cause all sorts of trouble. [[User:VestDan|VestDan]] 20:16, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
 
If there has to be a "split" It only requires extra lists where the decks can be found. Perhaps a list can be made for every time a new expansion is released, because splits in time will occur at releases.

The Wizards community boards has a pretty extensive deck encyclopedia:
http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=456567 (dunno how to do links off the top of my head). It includes even older decks, like Balance. Could be a good place to start. [[User:VestDan|VestDan]] 11:35, 9 April 2006 (CDT)
 
===Deck template===
Should we look into the possibility of a deck template? While I agree I don't necessarily think we need to be seen as a clearinghouse {sic}} for the most up-to-date lists, I think many of the archetype articles should at least have one decklist for illustrative purposes. Formatting could get pretty hairy unless we have a template similar to what's on the forums. --[[User:Binary|Binary]] 10:40, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

===Capitalization===
The word "deck" isn't capitalized in the articles for other formats, but it is for Standard. Any opinions on which should be the standard? I'm leaning towards not capitalized. --[[User:Binary|Binary]] 08:03, 31 May 2006 (CDT)
 
== Introductory statement ==
This page is linked from the main page. It needs some sort of introductory statement instead of just being a list broken down by categories. --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 13:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I wish it were "Tournament decks".

==Format labels==
I think that, for the non-eternal formats, you may to want to have a more specific format label. For example, over the past weekend, you would have had to go back and change all the standard decks to extended, and then standard becomes an empty category. If instead you think of the formats as describing what sets are included in the decks, then you could, for example, include Dragonstorm [TSP-9] under Standard, where it is understood that you are talking about a deck that was in Standard when 9th edition and Time Spiral were the current sets. Under this scheme, Standard could include any deck, current or from the past, that was made up of cards from 2 consecutive blocks. Ditto with Extended. Such an archive of decks might be useful for someone reading up on how different metagames operated during different seasons (e.g., what decks were competetive during Invasion block?) {{Unsigned|Sir christopher}}

New Category

It has been suggested that we add categories for Standard for historic purposes like [[Category: Ravnica-Time Spiral Standard]], [[Category: Time Spiral-Lorwyn Standard]]. What do people think? --GeoMike 01:51, 15 April 2008 (BST)
