Brief History
Magic Deck Vortex was founded in August of 2002 by John Streetz.  It started as just an EXCEL database of 100 decks John Streetz had collected from a variety of sources (60 of which were put together as actual decks for casual play at the time).  Note: Jason Streetz helped to establish MDV by hosting it on his site: www.streetzuite.com in the very beginning.  Many thanks to him for his help with MDV over the years.

Originally, Magic Deck Vortex brought people in by having a deck clinic, regular contests and a deck submission page.  Magic Deck Vortex as a 'magic' site has been expanding internally and externally ever since August 2002 through other means such as articles, it's combo and deck databases, and it's linking network across the net.  Now, Magic Deck Vortex is linked to on over 100 different websites around the world including mtgsalvation.com, wiki.com and portals like Blackborder.com and nbv-mtg.com.

Since the beginning, MDV has grown from 100 decks to over 1900.  Features have expanded from minimal to better.  This trend will continue until there is nothing left to expand (which is impossible considering the many different directions of the site now).  One of the hopes of the webmaster is to have the site referenced and/or mentioned on the main site, www.wizards.com.  And MDV was!!!  The Ferrett referred to "The" Magic Deck Vortex for its infinite combo database.  Go, MDV!

Current Focus 
Magic Deck Vortex has so many facets it is tough to really explain what the current focus is.  However, as of 5/14/08, here are my goals to complete until the end of the year.

  • Complete all of the visual spoiler for old sets including CORE sets of yore and Legends.

  • Update the search engine with something better.

  • Pick up Celixia/Powershift and finish Powershift.

  • Actually make the combos and decks a database.  Currently it is all manual.  The only database is an EXCEL file on Streetz's computer...

That's it for now.  Those are in no particular order.  If you would like to chime in, please email me and I will re-evaluate this list.  Or you could post your concerns in the forum (which I recommend over emailing me).
