It's not nice to make fun of noobs.
I disagree.
There are dozens of different proven decks on this forum, with tutorials on how to use them. If a newbie is too lazy to read them or learn to play them, and instead starts a thread like this, he deserves to be made fun off.
I personally choose not to make fun of new players, but yes, creating duplicate threads isn't necessary and crowds the forums. Starting a new thread with "I need a deck that works with no upgrades and is cheap/easy to use" is not effective, quite vague, and pointless. Even starting a thread saying "I tried Scaredgirl's deck and it doesn't work. How do I beat the gods?" is not redundant and pointless. There are threads on all of this. If you have specific questions about detailed strategy, post on the dedicated thread
with your current strategic gameplan and then ask for help. Or just ask any of the veterans in Meebo chat.
In Josh's defense, he found me on Meebo chat with some actual questions and I was able to answer them sufficiently. Therefore, I request for this thread to be archived.
