This is an horrible post. Decklists without comments are moved to Newbie.

The deck is simple enough to understand by reading the list.  I am wondering if any1 actually bring this deck to any tourna.  instead of playing on appr/mws.  What else is there to write?  OMG, manadrain is such a friendly place?

What Toad meant by his comment was that if you post some "out-there" decklist that is neither mainstream nor even heard of, you're going to have to justify it - tell why anyone would bring it to a tournament in the first place, and explain the cards in it.

Since you were just asking if anyone brought it to a tournament, there's no substance to it. Thus, it is of no use to the TMD community, and that's why it was moved to this forum. If you explain the deck and what you see in it that would make it fun or successful (and post it in the open or casual forum as necessary), you'll be taken more seriously and with more friendliness.

The community here is basically friendly and does welcome new decks and ideas (Much like Misetings, which does have quite a friendly community for those who go there, but they will be up front and tell you if your post was worthless), but by reading the stickies, you can see the guidelines they have, and one of them is to justify your decklist or add something to the community rather than a decklist and a more-less meaningless question. If you had posted a more meaningful discussion about the deck and had concluded by asking if anyone had played it, you would get a better response. In a sense, you do get what you give.

Attempting to use proper diction and syntax does help to give you credibility.

Hope that helped.
If you add to your post, I'm sure you'll be taken more seriously.

I fail to see how this deck would be any better than regular GAT. The Kobolds are basically dead draws unless you have a Skullclamp in play and even then you would have to pay 1 to turn it into something useful (2 cards).

Looks to me as if more Brainstorm-esque cards (Sleight of Hand, Opt, Serum Visions) in the main deck would do the same thing, but with more consistency. The Skullclamps could then be removed to get some extra slots...

To me, this deck list looks like a pile Confused

This thread is a good idea of how not to post on The Mana Drain.  There's no opportunity for a decent discussion here, nor was the post written in the most legible of forms, until I fixed it.  In the future, please try to type more accurately and keep the quality of your subject matter up.  Closed.
