hello- i was told this is THE place for type 1 on the net. where are all the primers at? i checked the primers section of this site and i dont think it accurately represents the current metagame. there was only a few decks and they were terribly outdated. is there another section of this site (or another site) that i havent seen that has in-depth primers on current type 1 decks? any help would be great, thanks.

Go ahead and use the search function found at the top of the page. You can search for the name of a deck and then refine the search to get the discussion and primers you are looking for. TMD (here) is the best place for Vintage on the web.

A lot of the primer type posts you are looking for are SCG articles, go look in their Vintage  section.  A lot of the Admins/Mods/Vintage Adepts are popular writers over there.  You can search for their names and find all of their articles.

What Goober said, basically. TMD doesn't have primers anymore because the people who write them post them on Starcity instead, because most of the primer writers are featured writers over there anyway. If you do a search on a deck over there, you're bound to find what you're looking for. Stephen Menendian has written quite a few primers, and there are several other writers with many under their belts. You'll get an in-depth look at the decks there. If you have any further questions, search here and if you don't find anything, ask!

Your best bet is to click on the articles links that bring you to the various articles our community has written for SCG. Older Primers are here for archival purposes, but basically we've stopped publishing primers ever since the environment stopped being static. For example, when I wrote the last Keeper/4cControl primer, by the time I had part 2 ready the entire deck had been overhauled. Since SCG does editting and provides compensation, "primers" end up there but still end up being dated after just a few months.

If you're looking for an easy way to have the current environment disected for you and how to pilot every archetype, there is no better place than here to read all the questions that you have. Chances are that with a quick affair with the search functions everything will be available at your fingertips.

A perfect example would be to check the Stax primer (way old by now, but there's really no better article written on it) over at StarCityGames, then come here and do a search for Stax to see how it applies to today.
