About Magic Deck Vortex:
Magic Deck Vortex is a Magic: The Gathering site that is expanding day by day with more features, facets and ideas.  To help Magic Deck Vortex, donations and advertisement sponsors help to support and expand the site.  While I love the site, I do not profit from this endeavor.  I accept donations and money from advertisers to pay for the basic costs of this site.

You want history? Well, Magic Deck Vortex started in October 2002 and has been growing rapidly since then.  Originally, the site started as a way for me to post my decks on the internet through an EXCEL file.  You should have seen it back then.  How things have changed.  I wanted to call the site Magic Vortex... but some other faction had already claimed that title and web address.  At the time, without a car, I had plenty of free time on my hands which I spent putting things together for the site, learning Frontpage and searching the net for other ideas and things to add.  The webmaster of www.magic4you.nu once commented: 

When you started I thought "oh another small personal website, it looks good - I add a link for a week and go look, when its bad, I just remove the link.” But now after a year or so you are still there and even better. Two thumbs up John!

With the support of my brother's established site (www.streetzuite.com) I was able to keep posting and updating the site.  Then things changed and I was forced to find my own server.  This is why I finally had to put something formal together for advertisers so that I could still fund the server costs.  To be honest, I really don't like having advertisements on the site, but it's a necessity of keeping the site around.  If only I were rich... I thank all of the current and past advertisers for advertising on MDV.
