Maybe. Maybe not. It definitely depends on the point of view.
People don't comment too much on decks right now, leading to the primary issue, so it would appear that showcasing the latest comments rather than the latest decks commented on, is a wasted opportunity to display more decks. Consider though, if one sees a lot of active discussion on the same deck, it can give you an idea that a hot, recent discussion is taking place on the deck and maybe you should check it out. This could, of course, be sort of solved if we displayed the deck's comment count on the discussion row.
I think there are better things we could do to help deck discoverability on the site and to encourage more people to comment on decks, providing greater turnover.
Thanks guys! This is exactly what we have the feedback forum available for, I want to make sure we're giving everyone as good an experience as possible. I've got ahead and banned the domain from advertising on the site anymore, it may take some time to go through.
Thonson: We are actually trying to serve less intrusive ads than most sites which is why a lot of them end up being text-based. You're right, we could definitely be making more money if we opted for more flashy stuff. There's a lot of stuff that needs to get fixed up with ads though before we make an attempt at that route.
Personally, I've been getting a LOT of magic ads. I think Wizards is trying to tell me something.
This is super cool. Everyone, even non-Magic players, have heard of Black Lotus. Looking forward to checking out the event and earning some sweet packs.
You shouldn't be seeing them inside of comments and replies. I'll take a look to confirm those areas are blacklisted. That's a shit experience and I'm sorry about that.
I really wonder what they're gonna do with unsanctioned lands. Some more full arts would be wonderful, even cooler with it being back-to-back with Theros BD.
Yeah, I'd love to make our voting even better. I actually managed to sneak voting in right before reveals really got started so it is not fully feature complete. We've still got a discussion to do with the staff on how we can make the next reveal season even better, this is definitely something we'll bring up.
I fully expect us to do another awesome giveaway next expansion, even if we're limited to on-site rewards. (Which honestly, are some of my favourite rewards since people who have been around the longest have potential to have some really cool stuff down the line).
On-site rewards for the Descent of Dragons Giveaway are in the process of being rewarded and will take somewhere between 30 mins and an hour to fully process for everyone.
Grand Prize, Runner-up, and the "Draconically Dedicated" achievements have all finished.
Additionally, I know you'll see unearned achievements under Feats of Strength for stuff you can't possibly complete (all the achievements are FoS labelled). This is a display issue and incomplete FoS achievements, at some point, won't show up on your profile.
This is very close to my favourite Priest deck I've been playing so I can't wait to take it a spin. GG Kibler!
Sludge Slurper is having its attack decreased to 1, from 2, in the December 19 Patch.
How do you feel about this change?
Once these changes are live, players will be able to disenchant the adjusted cards for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks.

You say that like we've never done that before which isn't accurate :P

Sorry, we don't support any versions of Internet Explorer since the browser is no longer supported by Microsoft.
Thanks!
I've made some changes, it may take up to an hour to take effect, but I'm hopeful this will prevent any ads from showing up in comments.

We could post about Galakrond Shaman more if you'd like LUL
No way, unhinged are still top-notch!

Thanks to everyone who participated!
The lands are soooo sexy. I cannot wait to have them in my hands.
This is nasty, I love it!
Definitely going to have to shell out for the premium versions of them when they hit MTGA. That is, if Wizards makes them available lol. SOOOO GOOOD.
