This might just be me, but especially with the updates and nerfs to certain cards/mechanics, is it possible for someone PLEASE to write about Forum Necromancy? (Just a noob here, no weight to throw around)
It seems like any time I check 'Recent Updates', at least half of the updates are deck threads started in December which are mostly not even relevent (a.k.a. Sundial), and the last post was at least a month to 2 months ago...Not major I know, but with the updates and amount of new material to still be talked about, it's quite annoying to see threads at the top of the list that no one wants to read anymore...especially after reading through 2-4 pages before remembering to check the date...

Just a thought, no worries...still love the forum and game

Forum Necromancy
fo·rum nec·ro·man·cy
n.
1. The dark art of resurrecting a long dead thread by posting something new in them long after they have lost their relevance.
2. Black magic; sorcery.
3. Repling to an old post, bringing an old thread back to the top of the list.

Not to be confused with bumping.

Oooh, yeah, that happens occasionally, but a lot of the threads that say they are from december as still very much active, thus, not actually dead at all.

I've been seeing a lot of threads necro'd for decks that haven't been posted on since december...And as I said, necro here I think is kinda different from other forums, because the game is new and in constant flux, so something that was relevant (many SD decks) a few months ago, now is not necessarily a God-Killer per-se.

While many threads are great and need to be bumped occasionally, this also means that new threads are dropped to the end of the list. I, for one, don't have time to read through 2 pages of necros to get to one or two threads I care about. All I am saying is please take notice of the age of the thread before you reply...and maybe we should have something about some of the threads that are not true to 1.19/1.20, like (I hate to keep using this example, sorry) old decks based on pre-nerf SD.

Sorry to annoy anyone, just posting some thoughts.
