If a person asked me for specific deck advice in regards to their playing style, I'd ask them first if they had gotten their deck off of someone else (say, if they were using a derivative of someone's mono-fire deck or a popular (SG, PuppyChow) rainbow), and if they did, proceed to look at their cards as well as how many they were using (in pve and pvp), and then also how many were upgraded. I'd also take a look at their mark.

Then, I'd ask what style they were attempting to use - pillar/quanta denial, creature/permanent control, poisons, anti-deck out strategies, monster rushing, spell use, etc. After all of that, then I'd either suggest to get rid or add a few cards in regards to what they want or need, and possibly make a deck similar to theirs and show them a link/screen shot of what it would look like, while also checking to see how closely it relates to the original deck they copied from. In addition, I would also suggest that they would get a different mark if it wasn't efficient.

If they're inventing a new style, I'd personally would use their deck for a little bit (assuming that there are no glaring mistakes, such as a mono-aether deck with no aether pillars and aether mark), and then figure out how to reduce the weaknesses (adding a few PA/EA to protect permanents that they rely on greatly, removing excessive monsters and replacing it with a fractal or other creatures to compensate if they're trying to rush, etc.). I'd give them my opinion about it after playing a few random battles against the computer, and possibly a false god or another player to check.


Although your question is somewhat vague baku36, the above two paragraphs explain my general approach should someone ask me that question. ^^

WOW! Things are intense here, em I'll refrain from voting because I can't really decide. I know puppychow is a experienced player and a kind person, but Kael Hate is swording his name unto my mind with his sharp rationale and eloquent speeches, I'll just give up. ???

Another hard vote, Kael or Puppy.....think think think....

I give up. I'll vote for the one who wins! :D

Anyways, Kael's straight-forwardness earned him a vote!

My vote is down to two so Here is my question

Situtation: A new player just came to you and ask you to help them with a deck that fits there playing style. be it mono duo or what ever

Q: How would you go about helping them out?
1. Greet them Nicely and congratulate them for Joining the game.
2. Gather information on what they are already playing, what they enjoy about the game and what their long term vision of their play is.
3. Suggest some mechanics that match what they seem to like.
4. Make some views on what they have chosen and point them to ways them may wish to follow to accomplish those goals. Try and point them to as many views as they can handle so they can understand different variances between Quality and Efficiency.

If Time works into this methods suggest that they use it over other elements. Time after all is this Masters Specialty.

I'm not surprised that I didn't get as many votes as any of the others - granted, I understand now that I'll have to keep on learning and gaining more experience before I even try to apply again. :)

Oh, and just saying right now... I did not vote for myself. I voted for Kael. I figured that on the chance that if I do get votes (or at least 1), I would know that the one (or multiple) vote(s) wasn't just from me. ^^;;

Oh, and Puppy, as wonderful as you are, don't get me wrong, I voted for Kael assuming that you'd keep your Global Moderator position as well - I'd figure that it'd be nice to spread some power to someone who wasn't a master of any of the elements currently and had a good chance at getting it, but then since he got appointed Card Curator, I suppose it's all free game. Just promise me that when you kill me, you use carbon monoxide and make it painless. XD

Congrats to PuppyChow! Can't wait for Phase 2 of the trials~
