Reply to comment by No_Love_1353 in TIFU by pushing my Magic: The Gathering Deck too hard at Friday Night Magic. by splbm

The combo is popular and well known to the point that everyone knows about it because it is arguably one of the strongest combos in the game (outside of underworld breach line which I won’t go into). It’s not necessarily where I can’t point down a single spot where it’s been heard since it’s quite ubiquitous.

I use a website called EDHREC to build my decks. It’s the go to website for EDH players as for certain commanders it will give decklists that are premade by the public. It will also show you cards that synergies with the deck and combos that are popular with that commander.

It’s been awhile since I’ve played competitively, but isn’t using analysis tools like that the definition of netdecking?

Not necessarily because a) there is so many cards I can’t remember, b) I look at what cards synergize with the deck and take those cards to brew my own deck

Netdecking is usually defined as buying/using/copying a deck seen in a tournament and sometimes on the internet (basically MtG plagiarism) The difference being I brewed my own deck using a bit of research, thus, it doesn’t fit the definition well.
