MDV Deck Database

 
69 Decks Propagated Throughout the MDV Deck Database...
4/28/08 - After three months of posting the decks I am finally propagating the deck database with these decks.  It is done as of this post.  Now I can concentrate on posting new decks.  I apologize it has taken so long to get this complete.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
About the Deck Database Updated! 
12/28/07 - After several years of this page being dormant, I have updated it with some additional information.  It's like a FAQ now with an index of common DDB questions at the top in addition to the introduction.  Check it out and let me know if I am missing anything.  Thanks.  ~Streetz~
120 New Decks Propagated!
10/20/07 - All of the recently posted 120 decks have been propagated throughout the MDV Deck Database including the navigation pages, the by color pages and the by type pages.  You can see all of the new decks in one place by clicking here.  Enjoy!  ~Streetz~
MDV Deck Database Update - 120!/120.
10/10/07 - Previously, I was only going to post 100 decks.  But given the timely release of Lorwyn, I thought it was appropriate to add another 20 decks - some of which include Lorwyn Cards.  The new deckswill be propagated throughout the deck database in the next week.  In the meantime, they are at least all posted.  ~Streetz~
MDV Deck Database Update in Progress...
9/30/07 - The 100 decks I have collected over the past few months are finally being posted.  I've started the update today and plan on finishing it within the next week.  In the meantime, you can check out the deck names and brief descriptions.  ~Streetz~
MDV Deck Database Updated with 51 New Decks!
5/9/07 - This time around I've hit almost every deck category including ALTWIN, BEATDOWN, BURN, COMBO, CONTROL, GROUP, INFINITY, LAND DESTRUCTION, LITE, LOCKDOWN, MILL, RECURSION, S.C.S., THEME, TRIBAL, UN Decks and even WEENIE!

About fifteen of the new decks were from articles over the past two months.  About ten of them include some nifty Future Sight combos!  Please enjoy this deck database update.  As always, if you have any concerns or questions about the MDV DDB, let me know via email or in the forums. 

Next up on my plate, Future Sight Combo Page!  ~Streetz~

Deck of the Day has begun!
3/27/07 - Deck of the Day is a new feature on Magic Deck Vortex where you get to see a (maybe) random deck from the vast database of decks on Magic Deck Vortex.  Sometimes you'll find some insightful piece of information about the deck.  Sometimes it will just be a glimpse of a deck you never knew existed.  Each weekday, a new deck will be featured on the home page.   ~Streetz~
March's Deck Database Posted & Complete!
3/4/07 - MDV will be posted deck database updates more often now.  What this means is smaller updates, but quicker turnarounds.  This month I've added 30 new decks to the database including some GROUP, LITE, INFINITY and MILL decks.  That and all of the propagation is complete with this update.  Remember that if you ever have any suggestions about the database, to email me. Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
January's Deck Propagation Complete.
2/8/07 - All of the decks from the deck database update in January have been propagated throughout the MDV Deck Database including the 'by color' pages and the 'by type' pages.  Please enjoy last months selections of decks.  Remember that if you ever have any suggestions about the database, to email me. Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
January's Deck Database Update: 67/67
1/31/07 - Despite the continual server problems MDV has been having of late, I have completed the last few decks in the Deck Database Update for January.  I still have to propagate the decks into the other navigational pages, but they are at least all there for your review.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~  P.S. Combo pages will be updated with deck links once the deck database is complete.
January's Deck Database Update: 51/67
1/30/07 - Given the setback of last week's server issues, I haven't completed the deck database update yet.  However, I have posted 17 more decks bringing the total to 51 of 67.  This time, I plan to finish the update before the end of this week.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~  P.S. Combo pages will be updated with deck links once the deck database is complete.
January's Deck Database Update: 34/67
1/23/07 - This month I have 67 decks in store for you.  Some of these are deck submissions from the forum, some of from past articles on MDV, and a whole bunch are from all other corners of the Internet.  I'm about half done with entering the decks and I plan to finish this up before week's end.  If you want to see the deck summary for the decks not posted yet, go here.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
What is [DBM] and how can you get it?
1/16/07 - [DBM] is a forum term that means "DataBase Material" -- which basically translates into 'a deck that could be added to the Magic Deck Vortex Database of Decks'.  Anything labeled in the casual deck forums with [DBM] in the thread title means I have my eye on it.  Getting a DBM can be tough as I typically only choose decks that the database doesn't have and/or is based on a combo in the Combo Pages that doesn't have a deck associated with it yet.  However, you can read the full details on DBM here in the forums.  One of the great things about the Casual Deck Forum is that there are a plethora of users who will help you perfect your deck and make it work to it's prime. You could be one of those people too!  If you haven't joined the forums, you can do so here. In the meantime, thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~

P.S. You could always become a writer on MDV and write articles with your decks in them.  That's another way to get your decks added to the Deck Database of MDV!

Deck Database Update: Done & Propagated
11/30/06 - Apologies for the lack of articles being posted today and yesterday, but I really wanted to get the deck database update complete.  And finally, it is!  The decks have all been posted and also propogated throughout the by color and by type pages.  Please enjoy this month's deck upgrade, as there are an ecclectic bunch of decks.  Even the Historical Deck Page got a few new ones.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
Deck Database Update: 80/91
11/28/06 - The deck database is almost complete.  I have posted another 17 decks in the new decks page bringing me up to 80 of 91 decks posted.  Once all 91 are posted, I will proceed to propagate them through the by color and by deck type database pages.  In the meantime, please enjoy the new decks in the database. Should you find any errors on any of the deck pages, please let me know.  Thank you  for visiting Magic Deck Vortex... which is a site that is more than meets the eye!  ~Streetz~
Deck Database Update: 63/91
11/21/06 - As previously mentioned, I am in the process of adding 91 decks to the database.  Since the last post about this, I have added 26 more decks to the "New Decks" page.  Once all 91 are posted, the decks will be propogated into the by type and by color pages.  In the meantime, please enjoy the new decks in the database. Should you find any errors on any of the deck pages, please let me know.  Thank you  for visiting Magic Deck Vortex. which is a site that is more than meets the eye!  ~Streetz~
Large(91) Deck Database Update Started!
11/18/06 - 91 decks!  That's right, 91 New Decks will be added to the MDV Deck Datbase very soon.  I started the update this afternoon and have 37 of them posted.  I will be posting more every day for the next week.  In the meantime, check out the New Decks page and see the decks posted and the decks yet to be posted.  Should you find any errors on any of the deck pages, please let me know.  Otherwise, THANKS for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
Submitting Decks to Magic Deck Vortex...
11/12/06 - Have you ever wondered how to submit a deck to the MDV Deck Database?  It's easier than you think.  While MDV has tried many different means of submitting decks, including via email and via a Tool generated by AdventuresOn, all deck submissions will now need to be posted in the Casual Deck Forum, linked above.  If your deck is DBM'd in that forum, that means it has the possibility of being added to the database.  To find out more about the [DBM] phrase used in the deck forum, please go here.  If you have any questions about this, reply to the post linked previously.  Otherwise, just make sure to read the forum rules and use card/deck tags in your submission.  Also, note that I will be updating the entire deck submission section on MDV Main -- but I didn't have time to do that today.  Expect that sometime in the next month or so.  I hope to include some basic guides to deck building, deck etiquette and the like.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
August's Deck Update: 40 New Decks!
8/31/06 - Forty new decks have been added to the deck database including a lot of decks using Coldsnap and Dissension cards.  There is even one Infinity deck and three land destruction decks and mill decks!  About half of these decks are decks from existing articles on MDV; these decks are marked with double-asterisks.  Please enjoy this update and keep checking back every month for more decks to be added to the deck database.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~  Note: The decks have been propagated throughout the deck database. 
July's Deck Update Complete: 21 New Decks.
7/9/06 - It may be a small update, but at least I completed it all in one day!  There are a total of 21 new decks added completely to the MDV deck database.  There's a nice selection of decks this time around with two Beatdown, one Burn, four Combo, four Control, five Recursion, two Single-Card-Strategies, one Theme and finally two tribal decks. There is also some Lite, Group and Vintage decks in the mix.  Thanks for visiting MDV!!! ~Streetz~ Note: Propagation Completed.
Deck Database Propagation Complete!
6/23/06 - All 60 of the new decks recently added to the deck database here on Magic Deck Vortex have been 'propagated'!  That is, all of the decks are now added to the by color, by type, new decks and navigational areas.  On a side note, I have changed that bright red color on all of the deck pages to a darker red... I found it much more pleasing on the eyes.  Sorry about that.  It only took four years to change! Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!!!  ~Streetz~
All 60 decks have been added to the DDB.
6/22/06 - The last nine decks have been entered into the Deck Database making for a total of 60 new decks.  These will be propagated into the 'by type' and 'by color' pages very soon.  In the meantime, please enjoy the decks on the 'New Decks' page.  Remember, if you have a unique, original and fun deck to submit you can do it in the casual decks forum, link here.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
More Decks Added (51/60)...
6/21/06 - I've added seventeen more decks to the New Decks page in the Deck Database.  Only nine more to go until all 60 are posted.  Once all are posted I will propagate them throughout the rest of the DDB including the by type and by color pages.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
June Deck Database Update in Progress.
6/19/06 - As mentioned previously, whenever I peruse the net for MTG material I bookmark decks that I eventually want to add to the database.  Since the last update I have bookmarked many a deck.  This time around, with the latest DDB update, I have 60 new decks in store for you. As of today I am over 50% through the update.  34 decks of the 60 proposed have been added.  All of these new decks will be added to the 'by type' and 'by color' sections once all 60 decks are posted.  Check out the decks that are posted and the ones that haven't been.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
News Decks Propagated throughout the DDB.
4/8/06 - When I say propagated, my new word of the week, I mean dispersed through the MDV deck database.  That is, all new decks are added to the 'by color' pages, the 'by type' pages and the navigation pages.  Please enjoy!  And... thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex - what the casual players use.  ~Streetz~
Deck Database Update... Now at 76/76.
4/3/06 - I have posted the remaining 20 decks for the March Deck Database Update.  I have yet to add them to the rest of the database (by type and by color).  Please enjoy the decks and know that some of these decks correspond to combos recently posted on the Guildpact Combo Page.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex, your one stop site for everything casual!  ~Streetz~
Deck Database Update... Now at 56/76.
3/29/06 - Tonight I added 20 more decks, leaving only 20 more decks to go until all 76 decks are complete and then added to the main database (pages by color and by type).  And if you haven't checked the new decks out yet, that means there's 56 decks for you to peruse.  Please enjoy the decks and know that some of these decks correspond to combos recently posted on the Guildpact Combo Page.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex, your one stop site for everything casual!  ~Streetz~
Historical Decks.. which ones am I missing?
3/24/06 - So I was gathering decks for the next deck database update and I realized my 'historical deck database' section was lacking.  Yes, I have a lot of decks in that section of the site... but I thought: which ones am I missing?  I mean, Magic has been around for more than 10 years... there has to be more than 50 decks to be on this list.  While the historical decks aren't exactly 'casual', they important to see, view, dissect and understand for any good deck builder.  Your task?  Look over the Historical decks and tell me in this thread which decks I am missing or that shouldn't be on the list.  Thanks for your help with this in advance!  Oh... and thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
DDB Update Complete - 78 New Decks!
2/20/06 - Turns out there were a few more than 75 decks - and all of them have been completely added to the main database (including by color and by type).  There is a wide assortment of decks this time around including a few for almost all of the deck categories. I even have a new themed deck for you (not tribal).  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
P.S. On a side note - I am no longer using AdventuresOn's deck creation utility.  If you want to submit a deck to MDV, submit it in the casual deck forum.  Thanks.
Deck layout updates complete!
1/29/06 - After eight months of updating each deck page in the MDV Deck Database, I am finally complete.  Each deck page is now designed around the current deck layout template and where available, I've added descriptions of the decks.  It was amusing to do this as I saw some of the REALLY old deck page layouts (where were VERY UGLY).  I've also made a few other adjustments here and there.  Overall, I just wanted to make the deck database more consistent in the way I presented the decks to you.  If you ever see any errors on the deck pages, please let me know.  In the meantime, thank you for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
More updates to the DDB...
11/5/05 - Over the past several months I have been updating the layout of the deck pages to match to current layout (as best referenced on the latest deck pages).  It has been a slow and grueling process but I am almost done.  A-R, Some of S, and X-Z are now complete.  I am referring to the names of the decks.  As I go through the decks I try to find the original article written about the deck and include the deck description in the MDV Deck Database.  I also try and update the card pictures and sideboard information.  As I have mentioned before, I am trying to complete this by the end of the year and I am so close to completion.  Once I finish this I can start another big project for MDV.  Thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex!  ~Streetz~
DDB Update: 43 New Decks!
11/4/05 - Another 43 new decks have been added to the database including a bunch of combo decks and single card strategy decks.  There are, of course, a few Mill decks, Infinite Decks and LD decks for your review too.  I think this month's decks are a nice mix that everyone can enjoy.  Also note that these decks have been added to the by color and by type pages.  You can discuss this batch of decks in the forum here.  Thanks for visiting MDV!  ~Streetz~
