Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

what qualifications are needed for a deck to be:
tier 1
tier 1.5
rogue
?
Its just a place marker at the point to be quite honest, but I will define it like this.
Tier 1: Makes Up most of the field/ has highest number of top 8s.
Tier 1.5 Has a decent Number of top 8s but is slightly less powerful/popular than tier 1 decks.
Rouge: Fringe decks that will show up time to time. New up and coming decks or decks that have got a top 8 spot in a GP or just a few PTQs. These are essentially untested decks that could make a splash.
Could you please change the untiered archetype section to "Rogue" rather than the current shade of red?
I have no idea what your talking about. I don't see not "red" on my screen.

Rouge = shade of red
Rogue = what you actually want to be saying
also, you're missing an "e" in "comprehensive" in the title.
EDIT:
As for other typos: you have the abreviation for "Magic 2012" as "M11".

The search function does not seem to work for me right now but I had a detailed list of Staples but no-one really gave a hoot about it. When the search functions works for me I'll look for it for you, if it means anything.

For the record, Aaron Forsythe has clarified that "Eternal" does not mean "not rotating" it is a DCI category for Vintage/Legacy which contain all availible black borderd sets.
If Modern was Eternal, then we could use commander cards.
While most people call it "eternal" because they mean it doesn't rotate. (I'm guilty but trying to break myself). This format is considered "Non-Rotating Constructed".
Modern tournaments count for your DCI rating the same as Block, Standard, and Extended.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

Great guide! This will be very handy for newbies. I might suggest adding Goblin Guide to Red's staples and Qasaili Pridemage to Gold's. I also might suggest Pyromancer Ascension decks for tier 1.5. They're doing okay in MTGO dalies.

Yeah that lol.
As for the tier deck lists I kinda want to wait till we have the standard list from PT Philly before doing anything else. I'm pretty sure the standard rounds are tomorrow.

Obviously the tier list isn't right, but I'm going to wait to see the top 16 from PT Philly to decide what should be considered tier 1, tier 1.5, and rogue.
Thats all that needs and update right.
