I was just thinking for a closed deck, and there is extremely good people only there, why should they be stumped down? Then i thought of people who are advanced in the game that wanna play closed deck should have the opportunity to try a challenging deck, but works great when done right. Im saying a tough deck, sold like starter decks, hard to control at first, but once the idea is gained, it works great. Im meaning something that is difficult to control, but amazing once done. Think about it.




people for Adv starter decks: 1
people against Adv starter decks: 1


If your for this or against, say what side your on.

What im meaning by "stumping" them is going too basic, no challange, and not enough advancement. Im meaning something like a deck you can use in nats, but just a starter deck. What the new starter decks don't have is a lot, and i feel there should be decks that hold every ounce of what it can within 50 cards. Its giving a more challanging deck, and i feel that it would be worth it to have a challange, something for pro's to use so they don't have to stump down to basics.

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of "structure decks" (i.e.: more advanced versions of starter decks) but like Redoubter I'd prefer an actual, full set if only one thing can be printed.

I was meaning something like structure decks, but mean't for adv players. Back in another CCG, i enjoyed structure decks, it gave me the basis to build on and advance it as if there was another deck merged with it. Im just looking for the idea of something that is not "starter" but good.

I think this is actually a complement to the playtesters... considering the whole point of these starters was to be as simple as possible while still being functional.

I wanted to decrease the simplicity for more better play. That is the idea. I want it to function differently than a regular starter deck. I want it to be for an adv player for a closed deck, something that feels like a extremely good booster draft deck (in complexity) the idea for this is for a complex deck, for the complex players. Not too complex to where new stuff has to be started, but something where a player can experience as many elements of the game as possible within one deck.
