Another humdinger of an article from the Natmizer. Also, I cannot wait to shoot you the thumbs up when I get dominated by one of these decks in November.
On a more serious note, these decks are very good in the hands of a capable mage. I think that's something that should be addressed and I know plenty of mages who've come up to me and stated "I played against this shitter deck, but I lost? And I have no idea what happened."
Truth be told, those are not shitter decks and I can speak from experience by getting beat by some of them.
I mean heck twaun, aren't you locked in to play mono-white at champs?!
In all seriousness, I think that these decks can be very good. They do suffer in large wide open metas, but 90% of vintage (at least in the US) is not played that way. If you know roughly what to target these decks can be extremely strong.
Nat thanks again for writing this. I honestly think you are doing more for the community at least in Ohio than anyone I know.
Sidenote: I am still amazed that reddit's response to this article was "nice budget decks that actually cost a ton of money" people are weird.
