Would the Legacy Dark Depths deck go under the Lands hub? I want to look around, do some research, and see if there's any Lands decks that don't automatically include Loam and Lands have a lot of overlap, but I think Loam sits somewhere between Lands and Dredge. Turns out Spellslinger decks are majority, but definitely not exclusively, instants and sorceries.Īikido can be renamed, but I've seen it clearly identified as that on other sites, and "Tactical Appropriation", while accurate and descriptive, is kind of a mouthful. I had Spellslinger described more or less as "permanentless" for a while, then got several people telling me that the support permanents are just as important-think I think Battlecruiser is a sufficiently unique subset of ramp/control, similar to Zoo being a unique subset of aggro/creatures, or Eggs being a unique subset of artifact/combo. You also mention Cruel Control and Exalted, and I believe you mentioned Caw Blade and Solar Flare in another thread as Standard decks that are past their time. Right now, it's a compromise by acknowledging the name origin in the description, but I see a lot of decks on this site named for Amulet Titan, so it's probably time to change that over.ĭevotion and Energy are pretty Satndard-specific mechanics. I've gotten a couple of requests to change Amulet Bloom to Amulet Titan. Renaming hubs is no issue at all, and Artifact and Enchantment can be made plural easily. I didn't get the notification for your earlier comment, so I'm reading through it now. These should be added as a consequence of the above criteria: Elementals, Warriors, and maybe "flying matters" and "toughness matters" but that's up for debate, and probably isn't entirely a good idea if exalted should also go.


This means the following tribes don't make the cut: Angels, Cats, Demons, Knights and Minotaurs. Loam and Lands seem kinda interchangeable.Īrtifact and Enchantment should be plural.Īs for the requirements for a tribe to get a hub for tribes that don't have a competitive showing, I think there needs to be 10 cards of permanents that give static/permanent benefits specifically about that tribe that aren't one time effects, and instants or sorceries that care specifically about that tribe as their main effect (an example, for dragons, Exalted since that has kinda died down quite a bit and is usually just voltron now. what even is this?, Vehicle, probably Hive Mind as the archetype is now just Amulet Titan, Devotion and Energy since those aren't going to be comp decks in non-rotating formats until more devotion gets reprinted.

Other hubs I think can be removed: Large. If hubs aren't a presently top-tier deck or using a keyword/specific card, I feel like they need to be much more easily understood by people who see it in the hubs list and go "oh! that's neat" and not "what the hell is this?" As such I suggest the terminology "Tactical Appropriation" as a replacement for Aikido.Īt least, I hope you can rename hubs without issues. Aikido isn't useful in an english speaking site. Spellslinger is just "permanentless" and can be renamed as such. Aikido and spellslinger I feel aren't descriptive enough of what they are. Battlecruiser is just control/ramp, it's not unique enough to warrant its own archetype.
