I mean they’re obviously GOOD decks no question about that; I mean we often raise them to the status of the infallible; I believe we often miss obvious improvement they may get.
E.g. I was just trying to do the Marin quest; I removed Doomkin from ramp druid and used Zola/Projectionists; guess what: those things can repeat the ramp dragons cheaply!
this is twofold,
one netdecks often have a few key “weakest” cards that good players will frequently replace with other cards that target the meta (e.g, when Miracle Rogue was everywhere, these cards were cult neophyte and speaker stomper. Rustrots come into play when DH/Paladin get too good. Dirty rat in Control Warrior meta, etc). It isn’t as cut and dry as “net deck = no change in decklist”
two, a lot of would be strong archetypes are kept in place by the decks the net decks are targetting. For example, HL Priest was really bad into HL Warrior… until the meta stopped targetting HL Warrior. Now HL Priest is actually pretty decent.
I mean look at this deck. You can have cheap projectionists/zola relatively early; they can ramp up mana early; it’s probably way better than the default netdeck if your opponent is much faster than you and that’s VERY usual now.
