Just my 2 cents on the subject, which (I hope) won't turn into a rehash
of the "Dojo Effect".  If anything, instead of eliminating decklistings,
I would like to see more information included in the header for various
decks.  Some of them have titles that are fairly self explanantory, but
some require a great deal of imagination when attempting to link title
to functiion.  (I am guilty of this as well, so no one take offense,
please).

My reasoning is simple.  I like to look at the Dojo decks because they
are so chock full of ideas.  Many of the ideas suck, or are unfeasible,
or not intended for tournament play.
However, they are new and original ideas, and that is wonderful. Some
just need a little work.  Hell, even if they appear unfeasible...there
may be something there.

However....If I am wandering about, looking to see if anyone has thought
of a good way to use the Whiptongue Frog in a control deck, I don't want
to have to read 50 Whiptongue Frog Beatdown decks first.

So. Maybe a one word description in the header? Something like:
U/G/b Bayou Barbeque (aggressive)
where the word in parens would describe the deckbuilder's intended style
of play for the deck in question.
(aggro), (mid), (control) ?

Just a suggestion.  What do the rest of you think?  Not trying to cramp
anyone's style, but trying to make the ever more popular Dojo a bit more
organized...
