Like I've said before, cards don't rotate out in Type One in the same way that they rotate out of Standard and Extended. If you want to get rid of a deck once and for all, you've gotta restrict something major in order to render it unworkable. And as much as people dislike admitting this, sometimes you've gotta put aside a deck because another comes out that - dare I say it - is strictly superior.

This article was regrettably short, because it's one of the most important points I can recall you trying to get across.

Short is not bad. Short means concise, and concise is good. As long as the point is fully and totally encapsulated by the writing, there is no need to be long-winded. Good jorb jp.

The only real reason that I didn't make this longer was because I figured by sticking with decks that I built, I could avoid any discussion or feedback turning into acres of shit when someone gets offended by what I said about their pet decks.

Mykeatog, I really hope that was a joke. Getting Bosh wrecks stuff like fish (apparently so does pentavus..). It was a nice little article, JP. I like seeing your articles regularly. They are always enjoyable to read.
