Hi all !

After an alarm signal launched by Xenocidius on the To-Do list, we are, once again, looking for help to clean the database.
There are still a lot of crappy decks out there, and the Wiki is supposed to hold the best ones. However, the 228 decks of the database aren't all that good.

Your mission : find the ones to be deleted.

What are the criteria ? Well, we're looking for usefulness. If the deck :

isn't proof-testedcould be improved in a evident way (wrong quanta balance, wrong size, useless cards)is a "fun deck"... you can eliminate it. In other words, if you wouldn't suggest the deck to a newbie, get rid of it. Don't judge by your personal taste, efficiency is the only thing that matters.

Just write the numbers of the deck you want to make *poof*. That's it. Here is the list. Don't report the broken links, I'll remove them myself.

Okay, this is a lot of decks. Admittedly, it doesn't leave many; we may have to actually post some good forum decks after this. Maybe I was a bit too harsh. Some of them looked good and/or may have some use in PvP, but I doubt it. Also, plenty were outdated.

If you'd like me to go back and choose only the ones that obviously need to go, while leaving some of the ones that aren't too bad, I'll take another look at it soon.

0-50 (all Merawder's decks)
52-58 (by joelbot and others)

62 isn't a deck.

63-65
70
73-74
76-87

88-91 are deck lookups. We may want to leave them.

92-115
117-125
127-139
142-145
147-180

181-183 are Deck Archives.

184-200

201: Actually a good deck, but there is already Life Rush (141). Redundant?

202-217
219-226

227: No Land Stompy. Outdated, I think.

Well if you want to do a cleanup, you better do it fast.
Merawder is spamming the board with his (IMO) largely untested decks. It's not a problem if he posted it here (still a problem but not as much) but it become a problem to clutter the wiki, where only the best decks are approved.

And i agree with ^. Those decks must go. Except maybe Grabbix (IIRC) which could be updated with the 1.293 version.

Eh, it's been pushed out of the spotlight by Ubah Stompy, but it still works fine. I wouldn't really consider it outdated unless Lava Golem was nerfed to 7

or something similar.

Part 1 of the Clean-up has been done. 154 decks have been deleted.

I'll now contact Merawder and do a backup of his work on the Forums before removing it from the Wiki database.

Just to let you know, the links to the deleted decks (under "mono decks," "duo and trio decks," etc.) still exist, so a lot of players might be confused when they are redirected to a bunch of non-existant pages. Not trying to boss ANYONE around or be rude. Just trying to call this to light in case no one realized it.

Yes, those links always linger around for a while. They're gone now though.

Thank you so much for finally getting rid of this crap, Gyro. Now for the task of filling the Wiki with good decks!

Maybe we need another project to launch new decks to the wiki?
Suggest deck to be put on wiki. If it got enough support, it goes through.
