Overview

This is actually a space for me to post self-reflective musings that are about as pointless as Storm Crow is not.  I store any card I might have ever considered for a Deck in its corresponding Maybeboard, which tends to result in some insanely huge Maybeboards; I also prefer to append descriptions instead of replacing them, creating large descriptions unnecessarily.

I do both of those things because I don't let go of the past easily; even when I should rework or delete something I prefer that it be seen as-is, and also that nobody assumes content I've revised or removed I did with malicious intent.  I understand that old versions of Decks can be restored, but I don't know whether that includes Maybeboards or descriptions, and it just about certainly won't include Decks I've chosen to delete.  But seriously, if you don't own a Secret Lair Storm Crow, you should...and I'll eventually buy one even though my playgroup forbids Secret Lair artwork.

>Update #1

It occurred to me that I forgot to add that I prefer to minimize the quantity of shared cards across all of my Active Decks, so cross-referencing them more thoroughly would both further that goal and permit me to clear out Maybeboards by combining the cards under consideration for those Decks into a single list.

>Update #2

I'll also add that while I generally don't substitute cards just because worse ones cost less I do try to select the cheapest available version of each card I do use; my Decks look expensive but are much more so before I optimize, and I recommend that everyone who ultimately ends up reading this also do the same, even in hindsight after they've already grossly overspent, whoops.

>Update #3

If anyone is still reading, it's my opinion that "Historic" should be a format wherein only Historic (Artifact, Legendary and Saga) cards, their support cards and Basic Land are permissible.  I also believe the Reserved List should be refined to remove all remaining Common and Uncommon cards and add every card ever printed at Rare or higher to date, including cards for which the bump was digital-only; every card to be printed at Rare or higher from then on would be added to that result.

>Update #4

Who wrote that Reserved List bit?  I don't think like that at all.  In other news, some of my more recent work has declined in quality; I'll bring it up to par just as soon as I have a couple fewer things on my mind.

>Update #5, wow!

Wizards of the Coast is printing a LITERAL God-tier Storm Crow...I guess this title is no longer accurate.  Also, descriptions are reverted, which is good news for me; I'll make a new version of this and clean up the description when I do so.

>Update #6

I'm now using the correct markup for this; I'm sorry it took me so long to do so.

>Update #7

I just discovered two formats named "Conquest", and I'm going to merge them and convert a few of my favorite Decks over to the result; stay tuned!

>Update #8, long overdue

Secret Lairs are no longer forbidden provided they're reprints of widely available cards unlike the Walking Dead Lair, and Update #2 is much less true than it used to be.  I still need to revamp a few of my older Decks, and I really want to make a Primer for my all-time favorite Deck but I'm putting it off until I can prove I've actually PLAYED said Deck instead of merely talking about it.
