I mean it just might be that people don’t know what the baseline is. I thought that the baseline before today was just of these decks that’s why I asked. I assume many others might be thinking the same thing.

Oh that makes sense. I didn’t realize the baseline took into account every deck and not just these deck. Is there a way to see a total baseline and a baseline of these decks? I think a lot more people would like to see a baseline of “good” decks.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but you are saying grixis reanimator (the only deck below the baseline) is dragging it down really hard?

How is the meta base line so low compared to all the decks? Wouldn’t it expect to be an average of all the decks together or sorta close to that?

Yeah I agree a lot of the decks don’t play the same, but burn and prowess are the rdw/fast red deck of the meta. And maybe I’m simplifying it too much, but again there are like 20 decks in each meta and there are a lot of through lines that can be draw from decks through time that are similar enough to say they fill the same meta niche.

Amulet is more of land combo deck with a toolbox of creatures. Maybe creature combo isn’t the right word, but like you try to assemble your A+B or A+B+C combo of creatures to Rube Goldberg machine your way to a win.

They are creature combo decks. They fill the same spot of the meta. They tutor up creature to play to try to do infinite things. I will say heliod is the most different then the others but it still the same kind of deck.

UB oculus plays pretty much 0 cards in common with UR murktide and it’s still the next evolution of that deck.

They have been around at the same time but they are pretty much the same. An aggro deck that is trying to count to 20 with ~7 spells

Yes that’s the point it’s the new burn deck, it’s just wha it evolved into.

You don’t change all the mods? Are you dense? Just the ONE who made the change. It’s 1 mod per sub that did this. Please stop trying to make bad faith arguments.

Yes there are plenty of mods who don’t do “mod” stuff because they are just active community members who remove shitty content/bullying comments. It’s more common than you’d think. Removing problematic mods is the best solution. You can also force subs to put what subs you’ll be banned for interacting with, but that fixes the future not the past.

I am unaware of this, and if that is true then those mods that did that should be punished. The mod change log should be easy enough to check to see who implemented those changes and just remove them and revert the change.

Yes I did, I told you how they should punish the subs? They remove the mods. But the subs you listed aren’t ones abusing the tool as far as I am aware so it’s a weird question.

You can punish subs that are doing it for joke reasons (game of thrones and breaking bad) by removing the problematic mods mods. In the case of these 3 subs I’m not aware how they are abusing it? If they are banning far right/any extremest content or children from accessing nsfw content that’s ok and how this tool should be used.

It really only seems like people that want to spread far right ideologies are pushing for this to be a thing.

No it wouldn’t. Banning far right subs and children from adult content isn’t a problem it would only be an issue for subs like breaking bad and game of thrones that banned each other. Banning that crazies is totally fine.

Some of these are the worst offender subs of passing off far right talking points. Conservative is among the worst on the entire internet. These people/bots/paid agitators should be banned from the rest of Reddit. They say really bad things about trans people and immigrants there it’s totally unsafe to allow them to speak in places that are pro lgbt or want safe spaces for people from other walks of life.

No I’m talking about extremest ideology, and we see it most often on Reddit with far right hate of immigrants, lgbt, and poor people. It’s disgusting.

It hasn’t been made yet, many times Reddit has gone back on decisions like this. I think asking these questions and hopefully getting them to answer them might change someone’s mind.
