All right, I’ve managed (rather clumsily, apologies for all those error messages earlier!) to install a modification that allows for sub-forums within a forum. So we now have all the benefits of multiple specific deck clinics, with very little clutter.
Regarding the old MTG limited formats -- if there’s any interest in these formats at all, I figure they’re worth including as they give our Magic: the Gathering area a feature most forums don’t have!  (Especially as the new "sub-forums" mod keeps the clutter to a minimum.)
It’s been suggested that the deck clinics could be further subdivided into Casual and Competitive sub-forums, or some variation on this idea. For now, this won’t happen simply because the sub-forums can only go one level deep. (I also don’t much like the idea of drawing this black-and-white distinction... I may consider it in the future though.)

 I couldn’t agree more!
Most of us can, and WOULD post their decks as competitive or casual, but for newer members, it may seem like underestimating their deck designs, if he post one in the competitive area, and, let’s say, LSG moves it to the casual, saying it belongs there. They could be offended, and I think we shouldn’t encourage this. Also, everyone’s said it more than enough, Magic is all about meta. Deciding what is casual and what is competitive is up to the players, through playtesting and knowing their areas. |

| I just noticed that when you click on LOTR TCG in the top left, there’s a link to the deck clinic in the next page. But when you click on it it only goes to standard decks. Shouldn’t it be better if it led to the list of formats here? |

| That’s an awesome system! It helps everyone to get to their needed format of deck ASAP...and now I don’t have to indicate the format in the title! |

Yes, there’s a rather long list of loose ends that need tying up, and updating outside links into the Deck Clinic is one of them.  I’ll get to it later tonight most likely. |

I was referring to an older format, PT, not this new one!
This newer format is awesome. Easy to navigate, and very helpful. |

Oh, well then i guess i disagree with AC.  I still think this new format makes the Deck Clinic are harder to maneuver around. |
