i literally cant even have strong deckbuilding opinions on a random website without people who understand the deck less than me screaming at me for submitting a decklist with notes that argue for building my deck "unconventionally" and arguing with someone who said that deck was "inconsistent" when it's incredibly consistent if you know how to use the pieces and only bricks when you build it conventionally, treating it like a normal 1-2 card combo deck and stuffing it full of power spells/traps that lead you to brick. they illustrated multiple times in the convo that they didnt know basic lines that you'd play either going turn 1 or through interruption that would have made it more consistent and they were told by someone on reddit that you need to stuff all decks with as many of those power spell/trap tech cards because every deck needs tech cards to keep up with the meta or something even though that's really only a good rule for tournaments or decks that have a ton of space for tech. the deck i'm arguing about is a balls to the wall combo deck and it's not capable of keeping up with tournament decks full stop so you're really only thinking about playing it on the ladder you're just going to lean into it's strengths as a deck with 3/3.5 card combos with almost any combination of 3-4 cards in the deck instead of a really lackluster 1-2 card combo deck that still can stop the most common deck on ladder because when you're rocking 3-5 of these cards in hand you have the ability to play through multiple pieces of disruption and still nuke the board, then go for lethal. your worst hands will still clean house on the bad decks that populate the ladder and your best get you through all but specific counters. for having strong thoughts on this and writing them on my decklist where i explain the reasoning for my decks construction, a friend of the guy i argued against acted like i left comments in my decklist that i'd submitted before i'd ever talked to his friend specifically for his friend and then after being told that that was not the case just tried to bitch at me seemingly for just disagreeing with how other people built the deck, treating my like i was deranged for ever caring to have an opinion, that i'm "just being negative" for bringing up a narrative that ran counter to some thought terminating memes about deckbuilding from reddit
