Well, the post title was done in jest, but it was taken too seriously, I guess, and triggered people? And my comment about my deck being downvoted and the card being bad was also just a joke... I guess I should stop making threads, decks and joking.
That’s what I got from the title as well, it just falls in line with many other threads that complain about, well, everything. Some will take it too seriously. For me there were too many layers: is it a meta thread, a critique of printing a new Leeroy with a decklist attached? A deck discussion with a cheeky title? Neither of those, but a discussion of the next meta and deck building?
So I can see why the reaction was polarized.
I feel like this forum doesn't get a lot of activity like it used to, so I was compelled to just make something to stir some conversation, but the outcome doesn't really encourage me to try again.
Nah, just take the reactions with a grain of… salt.
Well I theorycrafted a DH deck that used it to OTK and that actually ended up with negative votes today, so this card must be awful!
Still need to actually test it. People are inherently negative about everything around here, it seems. How exhausting...
I think you are mixing up a few things here:
Firstly, theorycrafting a deck doesn’t say anything about a single card. Your deck was OTK-ish, but relied on drawing quite a few specific cards. So in the end it might just be a bad deck, Smite or no Smite.
Secondly, you named your thread “meta solved”. Yes, Smite could be the next Leeroy and part of nearly every deck for the reach, but as you said, your deck needs testing.
So there was no compelling argument, why the deck was the next meta breaker or that it would actually work. That’s why it ended up with two upvotes and three down - which is like nothing.
