As you all know, many users are posting their own decks through the Community-built decks page. However, these decks need some serious changes.

Now, let's see an example of one of these decks.

"This deck might be similar to Crazyzombie123's Smash and Pet's deck but there are some differences. This deck involves overwheleming your opponents with super strong pet zombies (buffed either because of cat ladies or zookeepers's buff) before they have a chance to place down strong cards. Use camel crossing to buff your weak pets and weed spray to wipe clean those weak but sturdy blockers like water chestnuts. Make use of Zombie Yetis and Kanagroo Rider's bounce ability to buff your pets to no end."

All grammar mistakes and irrelevant sentences are in bold.

Oh boy. First of all, any mention of other users' decks just simply shouldn't be in the description. This is about YOUR deck, not other people's decks. Plenty of words were spelled wrong. Many cards do not have the first letter of their names capitalized.

It gets worse. Lots of these decks' titles have incorrect grammar. An example of a deck title with incorrect grammar is this:

"Flag Zombie's revenge"

This would be grammatically correct if used in a sentence, but not as a title, which is not a sentence. All first letters of each word in the title should be capitalized. Exceptions to these are words such as "to" or "of".

And here's another deck example.

"Zombie will be on the menu with this deck. It's [all] about brute force and feroiciously littling down the zombies the opposing hero plays. What it's meant to do is simply stop strong zombies from attacking and have strong plants reign supreme."

It seems like everyone has forgotten that Community-built decks are on freaking MAINSPACE. Just because you think that it isn't on mainspace doesn't mean you can just publish your deck with misspelled words and grammar mistakes.

"Give your mints a chance to grow, while keeping their zombie face off cool! The strategy here is to keep your mints growing and keeping those zombies cold with Winter Melon. If you aren't in this strategy yet, keep the zombies frozen and get them knocked out in time. By doing this initial strategy, you knock your opponent off in one hit with Doubled Mint! (I haven't used this deck ever since, so I might get the cards wrong.)"

Okay, this deck description is fine. But if you haven't tried it yet, WHY publish it? It's like writing a story but never reading what you've written.

I have some ideas for rules/standards that will keep the Community-built decks page in check, though I'd prefer to see everyone else's thoughts before making a vote thread. There'd be rules on the Community-built decks page. I also feel there should be an example of a deck, and using  to allow the user to have a template to use.
 * Remember to use grammar and correct spelling. Community-built decks pages are technically on mainspace.
 * Do not mention other users or their decks in your description; this is about your deck and how it works.
 * If you haven't tried your deck yet, please refrain from publishing it.
 * This is so we don't "bad decks", which are decks with no theme (as in main focus of the deck), little synergy, or are just a cluster of random plant cards.
 * This will also make sure that the user knows the deck can work in both AI and PvP situations.

(Remove this) NOTE: You can add more cards by doing Card(insert number after your previous card). Do the same thing for quantity.

So what do you guys think? How should Community-built decks be improved?
