Hi Zvi, may I suggest that you tag your Magic the Gathering posts with [MtG] or something similar in the title? Since you blog about both MtG topics and other topics, I imagine a lot of people on LW clicked on this post wondering what it’s about, and then immediately went back out after seeing that it’s a post about MtG. (I actually had to Google “Duo Standard” to figure that out because the post doesn’t mention MtG or Magic in the first few paragraphs.)
Also, am I correct in assuming that these MtG posts are just about MtG, and are not meant to illustrate more general principles or something like that?
It varies. Sometimes, they are meant to illustrate broader points, but mostly they are about the object-level, as is this one. Deck guides are always object level.
I’ll give thought to whether this makes sense to do at my main blog (which also has tags but not in a way that would be helpful here). If not, the question is whether to go in and edit the posts manually. I would be 100% fine with moderators adding such a tag where it was appropriate; if we didn’t copy everything over to LW automatically, I wouldn’t be copying MtG posts here.
