Metashaker Deckbuilding Contest #3
The task is to make the most original, fun yet viable deck using Hate Seed or Firebringer. Or both. You choose. Remember though that although these cards both benefit from the same thing they are still very different and fill different roles. Think closely, maybe your particular deck needs one but doesn't need another.

Goals
The task is to make the most original, fun yet viable deck using Hate Seed or Firebringer. Or both. You choose. Remember though that although these cards both benefit from the same thing they are still very different and fill different roles.

you know what would be better than having players run around creating loser decks with sub-par cards?
is balancing the stupid game.
if it doesn’t stand up to crackthorn, yellow tempo, or blue jump, you’re just abusing the player base.
It is not official contest and it is run by the community.
As for “loser decks with sub-par cards”, the cards chosen for the contest are not bad in fact. No matter how you look at Hate Seed and Firebringer these cards have a lot of potential and in some situations have tremendously much value. However, the reason these cards do not see much play is that currently there is no good enough deck that can support these cards. Some people complain that 4 cost 7/7 Wavecrash Colossus is broken but nobody thinks that 4 cost Firebringer which can grow even bigger is broken, the reason is that Wavecrash Collosus has a great deck that supports it.
I believe that even though there are only a few deck that are considered meta decks there are hidden gems which can beat these meta decks, what we need to do is search for them. Most of the people are busy climbing the ladder with netdecks and ranting about the balance issues. The goal of Metashaker is to inspire players to discover the new decks and hopefully find these gems.
ya ok.
good luck.
