List of jank decks throughout the history

[eyal282]

Is someone here pro enough to be able to allow us to mimic the "History of Jank" by Cimooooooooo and MBT with given decklists?
It's hard to do this challenge without having all the data infront of us.

What i can think of as janky most are not part of an archetype or use an archetype to facilitate theyr prefered game state but all are just a collection of cards that just work together.

Untrue the ones with 16+ searchers are not jank since they don't struggke with consistency.

The only deck you listed that MIGHT not be jank is Dragon Link.

Barely they have many many searchers and dumpers from deck to combo
Another deck i forgot was adventure soup deck

Lots of decks have searchers, dumpers, and from deck to combo. Doesn't make them any less jank.

Nekroz/Gishki is a great example. Both have plenty of potential search/combo options (Nekroz is WAY stronger than Gishki btw), but both are completely outclassed by Drytrons.

Speaking of Drytrons, let's not forget their absolute jank cousins, Ursarctics. A perfect example of a full archetype with searchers and combo options but is still jank despite being able to draw 7. I would know, I reached plat with the Chicago Bears last year.

Haha i think we need tonproperly establish what is jank them. I consider them piles that just work.

There is a diffrence between draw and search though.

Arguably gishki and nekroz are on par just one is anbeateown/handloop strat the other is control/stun.
