The Observor: 10,001 Hours – a Clarification
Posted on August 4, 2010 by Nate Price
Is your article series always named “The Observer”? I think you should make an homage to Bob Barker and rename it “The Price is Right”
Heh, coincidentally enough, when I used to work for Upper Deck and Vs. System, my biweekly article there was named just that. Plus, I have since learned that, while I may always be able to fool people otherwise, I am not, in fact, always right. But you didn’t hear that from me…
Just my 2c worth, and I like everyone else might be wrong on this but I remember not so long ago that Cedric Philips was a proponent of the Kithkin deck in standard one year ago and he played it so much that his fellow professionals dubbed him the Kithkin King, or something like that. I would just like to point out that there is value in finding a deck that you think is the strongest, that suits you and sticking with it. My reasons being:
1) With the resources online people have nowadays, it means a very different thing to just play around with the decks and choose the one you feel is strongest because not only would you have played with it, but you’d also have read and analysed the format, strategies and matchups.
2) Sometimes being settled in one or two decks helps you innovate and adept your strategies better, this is not to say that LSV can’t, but no matter how gd a player or not matter how much you play, ppl still only have limited time to playtest and practise
Of course, playtesting both sides of the matchups is always impt and I loved your article and ideas, just trying to provide an alternative view pt
