We should call Constructed the "Netdeck" game

This is, in fact, a lie.

You have never met me.

And this is a flat projection.

Yeah they do both apples and oranges. It doesn’t make the two skills directly comparable.

And yes indeed the best players are both good pilots but they can also modify their decks.

No, it is not a lie. Let’s examine the reasons why as we continue this tired charade

Ah, I guess this interaction and countless others we’ve had means nothing…see how you operate? I say I’ve known you for years. Then you reply with something unrelated about how we’ve never met. Do you not see or understand the difference? Please, show me you are capable of thinking critically. I want to believe in you but you continuously let me down.

Indeed, I am glue and you are rubber, you are so smart and I so dim. You got me. I’m projecting onto you, because it is how low I stoop and how unevolved I am…bravo indeed, you got me again!

So yeah. I know you. I look forward to seeing what you could possibly cook up in rebuttal next. Please try not to disappoint me for the Nth time.

I’m not offended because I don’t care. They both have their pros and cons. One does not negate the other.

What’s offensive is putting one camp down to make your camp feel superior.

As for legend, who cares about rank? I play ladder to see what rewards I can get. When it stops being fun, I stop playing. It’s honestly that simple.

Don’t put others down because their idea of fun does not match yours.

I’m not particularly offended by :poop: just on general terms. It’s a fact of life that we all make it. Everyone goes.

What tends to draw criticism from me, and others, are the particulars regarding where and when you :poop: . I don’t really care that you do it, but I’d rather not observe you doing it ever, but especially never in full view of general public.

This is as true for the literal bodily function, as it is for espousing your personal opinions; the fact that you’re entitled to one and allowed in most cases to share it, doesn’t mean you HAVE to share it or that we SHOULD enjoy it.

Again, impossible.

I haven’t been active here for years. There is no way you have known me for years even if we assume this persona reflects my irl life, which you shouldn’t with anyone onlne.

Your assertion that you have known me for “years” is, in fact, a lie.

This sounds like something you would hear frequently and another projection.

Your approval or opinion isn’t relevant to my reality, sorry. I hope you find some peace in your life. Maybe it’s time to get some professional help for your issues. Good luck with that.

Well said.

I bet you spent over 20k on cards…it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Did you just post something to see words on your screen?

Everyone who netdecks cares about legend. That is why they do it. They are desperate to “win” and not play the game. Stop getting offended.

Do you NOT see words on your screen when you post?

I think it is time to put the nail on the coffin of this thread so here it goes.

People who hate netdecks are failed deckbuilders who hate to deal with this fact being slam at their faces every time they try.

Anyone that spent that kind of money on this game needs an immediate intervention. I doubt he spent that kind of money on this game.

even assuming you pre-ordered every expansion ever, bought every mini-set, and bought an extra 50 packs every expansion, you wouldn’t break 5k.

granted, that’s way too much to spend on hearthstone, but insulting the Scrote Goat by any means is stupid.

Besides which, I’ve bought several minisets–about 100$ in total. Is that money wasted? Not really, the amount of time it would have taken me to grind to get the cards I wanted from those sets would have cost me more hours of labor than I could make workings my job and spending the money on the minisets.

You know if you’re gonna be a homebrew snob, choosing a CCG like HS is baffling. Like half of decks are sign posted. They have been doing 2 obvious archetypes per class for years now. If you wanna actually flex your deck building snobbery might I suggest MTG?

No no, you don’t understand. I changed one card. Now it’s not the plague deck that’s on the internet. It’s uniquely my own.

I’ve never made legend.

I’m not offended.

And I’d like you to show me a CCG/TCG that doesn’t have netdecks.

Some players like to win because that is fun for them. You’re the one that has your panties in a twist over an internet strangers idea of fun.

If it is that important to you, find like minded players and play against them. If you don’t want to play ladder, play casual.

“There’s netdecks in casual, waaahhh!”

I have never seen a netdeck player complain about offmeta/meme decks on ladder. Annoying decks, yes. But not because they’re off meta or meme. Because they’re just annoying. I find highlander decks annoying but I don’t tell other players not to play them.

Because fun is subjective.

That is their idea of fun. To be offended at someone else’s idea of innocent fun is absurd. There is no rhyme or reason for it - not at all.

It’s nonsensical.

Also imagine that some opponents added you friend to call you a copycat of some streamer that you never heard of… (since you’re original and never bothered watching streams).

My brother in Christ, this is some shrink-worthy problem you have there.

You’re not “playing the game more” by losing a lot. You’re just a bad deckbuilder.

I homebrew. I take my homebrews to legend regularly. The only homebrews I’m playing are the ones that actually win.

If you’re home brewing and losing, you’re using bad homebrew! Maybe you do want to use bad homebrew, but this doesn’t make you more of a player.

Harsh words, but gameplay-true. All netdecks were homebrews after all.

I feel like you’re stretching the term “homebrew” beyond its limits.

In terms of beers, Budweiser is not really a homebrew. It is a brew, certainly, but it’s not made by hand in small batches; it’s made in a corporate environment in industrial quantities.

In a sense, several prominent archetypes fit this mold of being a mostly corporate creation, rather than a creation of an individual author. Cards are often released with obvious synergies with other cards, with particular combinations obviously working in tandem with each other. Not so much constructed as pre-constructed, ready-made. One gets the feeling that the primary author of the deck isn’t a player, but Blizzard themselves.

So overall you’re post comes off kinda like this “home cooking” joke from Talladega Nights:
