Mods can add it, but it only makes our jobs harder. This way people can filter the flairs and find your post. We do not allow ban chatter to overshadow everything else, so complaining about how X or Y needs to be banned outside of a Banned & Restricted announcement will be removed. Posts discussing potential bans/un-bans, decks with cards from only half-spoiled sets, anything 'post-rotation' or non-WOTC sponsored formats are prohibited. Treat formats as they do exist, not how you want them to exist. Posts discussing Hypothetical Formats will be removed. Topics such as finance, alters, cosplay, etc should be directed to r/MagicTCG.īudget-based competitive discussion should only be posted in our weekly "Ask Spikes" or "Deck Check" threads (posted on Mondays). psychological factors, tips for tournament preparation, etc). Non-deck magic discussion must be had with competition in mind. No exceptions! See this post for details and accepted descriptive tags. Posts without descriptive tags in square brackets will be removed automatically.

Otherwise, please use the weekly Deck Check thread or the /r/spikes Discord, as posts without these points addressed are subject to removal. If you can discuss these three questions, your post is welcomed and encouraged. (If Bo3) How do you currently sideboard with this deck against the established metagame? What does it do well / not so well in the current/established metagame? Why should someone play this deck as a competitive option over a different one? - "Just because" or "I like it" is not a valid answer Why does this deck exist in its current form? Explain your choices clearly.

With that in mind, we ask for three key points when posting about new decks: We know that spikes like testing the waters of the metagame, particularly around the time of new set releases. Show Your Work - New Decks, Brews, and Theorycrafting: Posts that do not meet this bar are better suited for a weekly thread or the /r/spikes Discord, and will be removed from the subreddit. Posts that include all three points are welcomed and encouraged.
