The Eternal Jyhad : An Eternal Melody

One interesting thing about Vtes is that the environment does force you to constantly adapt and tune your decks in response to the metagame. This sometimes changes with an entrance of new players or new decks, or a shift in the entire community, but it almost always changes when a new expansion is released, especially if they have cards that impact existing norms - such as when Vessel and Villein were released (and to a lesser extent - Wider View).
Because of that I think it is not practical for me to maintain so many decks - in theory (and it feels good man!) I'll never get to play with all of them in any form that resembles "tuned" since I have to split my collections among all of them and will never have enough time to try out and complete all of their changes before another change in card directions shakes the metagame.
But tearing all these decks apart is easier said than done...
Oh well~

I find that putting the cards away is the hard part for me. There is definitely an up-side of not having to move around deflections, villeins, eyes of argus, etc.

Locally, Gerentt and another player from Palo Alto, Michael, have had a big impact on our metagame. Now there's competition for votes and weenies galore!
