World championship decklists?

[Dai]

Most high-level players are willing to share their knowledge anyway, but imo making the demand of everyone to give something away they might want to keep for themselves, or else exclude them from an important event, is silly at best and oppressive and harmful to the community spirit at worst. In any sports you would ask a player or coach to talk a little about their game.

I agree with Sisyphos, anyway, in the Rules/Format of WC, there is nothing about that your deck will be revealed so i think is fair everyone has the right to post/let GDC post, his deck or not.

By the way, my deck:

Zaladar
4x Brutallis
4x Infernal Gargoyle
4x Death Mage Thaddeus
4x Molten Destroyer
1x Bad Wolf
4x Mind Control
4x Sacrificial Lamb
4x Shadow Font
3x Shriek of Vengeance
3x Here Be Monsters
2x Ley Line Nexus
2x Soul Reaper

Total 40 cards.
I only made top 32 and i was one of the unguildeds in the finals, so probably you may look at this deck like is not any good, but i can say that i reached 300 in the middle of a season with it and is consistent.
Also i'm not a fan of DR in Zaladar (big fan of DR in Amber!), so i don't included them in the deck but give this deck a try and you'll see that the deck runs good.

I can see how having access to good decks helps new players. Even played badly (with some exceptions) a good deck will work, so in that instance it will be good for new players to use to get a feel for how a good deck works, and even if they lose, as long as they were paying attention to what they were drawing, they can see what bad sac choices they made and what they should keep, etc etc.

When I was new I never really net decked so to speak, but I often would look up some popular decks to see what sort of cards frequently appeared, and approximately how many allies they ran to get an idea on what might work.

here is mine:

1x Boris

3x jas
3x aldon
4x potl
3x sand
2x aeon

2x war banner
2x smashing blow
1x enrage
4x CB
4x retreats
4x BF
3x BS
3x JD
2x shrine of negatia

If anybody wants my list I post it as well/ GdC can share it I don't mind.

For the record, I didn't say I wouldn't post them, but I thought it right to ask permission first and go from there.

3rd and 4th place (busti and jacqui) are now listed in this thread and iClipse has offered to post his in the next day or so.

I will contact other players for permission. The plan was to have a Design Team blog post about the World Championships and talk about the hero and deck choices BTW.

p.s. It's a shame this debate didn't happen before the Grand Finals - then I could have made it mandatory or not to have decks posted.

For some weird reason, if the rules does stipulate that the decklist will be revealed at the end of the tourney, some players might choose not to join the said tourney. What that said, it's just a choice they made.

That's not likely to happen. The whole purpose of building good competitive decks isn't to have them to look pretty but to win competitions with them. Who can resist a chance at winning the World Championships?

[Giskard]

And every player who doesn't want to get his deck revealed can't play in a Tournament anymore then?
That would suck.

Are you really that stupid? What kind of argument is that?

If someone doesn't join a tournament to not share the list I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't go far to make the list worthy anyway.

+1. Exactly.
