Subject: Oh, those DARN decklists! Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 14:36:37 -0800 From: Jeff Vogel To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com >> Fine- publish the ideas behind the decks. Fine - publish the combos that make the deck work but DON'T PUBLISH THE COMPLETE DECKLISTS.. PLEASE stop doing this. >> Heavens forfend! Those darn decklists again, threatening to Destroy Magic As We Know It! This is such a good suggestion. I mean, when having a web site about an intellectual sport, it's absolutely essential to conceal information about how to play it well. After all, Chess magazines always describe openings in vague terms without actually printing them, right? Sigh. I honestly can't believe anyone is still going on about this. As I'm fond of saying, complaining about deck lists is like complaining about gravity. The internet and mass dissemation of information has made it a fact of life. That's how the game is played now, kids. If the dojo didn't print decklists, someone else would HAVE to come up and take it's place. If it's information people want, the web WILL provide it. And, if it makes Magic a game you don't want to play anymore, there are a number of other excellent games we can recommend. - Jeff Vogel Spiderweb Software http://www.spidweb.com
