The amount of work that's been done here for a weekly column is insane.

I enjoyed the section subtitles (ORDER BY SubmittorCount) almost more than the actual decks.

This article is awesome - many thanks for doing it!

I also love that mill deck. Worth it for the surprise value alone! Cool

One thing I'd like if you do this again: Google Docs over XLS please?

I MUST agree with bateleur_. Who wants to open a seperate program when they've already got the browser open? On top of that, do people still buy Microsoft Office?

Interesting article, thanks!  Unfortunately, neither the article nor the spreadsheet (directly) contained the most interesting piece of information - the appearance frequency of each card.  That is something that Frank Karsten provided when he presented his similar article on how he constructed his Faeries deck for Worlds.  If you could, please give us a table with frequencies for the first couple hundred cards?  i.e. Krenko, Mob Boss 1.00, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker 0.95, Gauntlet of Power 0.89, etc.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the design of the plane of Golamo in the Great Designer Search 2!
