So how do you decide if you really don't connect with a deck? How long do you give it, and how much do you put into it?
I think I'm different from a lot of people in this thread, in that if I own a deck I really want to connect with it and will eventually try to put in whatever it takes to do so. I've been hitting a brick wall with one deck lately, though. Even when I can get an intuitive message out of it, which is not always, it has nothing to do with either the traditional meaning of the card or what the deck creator says it's supposed to mean. I guess a lot of people would have given up a long time ago, but I'm stubborn and don't like the idea of not being able to get a deck to talk to me. On the other hand...well, it's still not talking to me.
How long do you give it? What do you try? How much effort is it worth putting into a deck that doesn't speak to you immediately?
