Last night I played against my friend. His method of choosing a squad is often to look at the recent squad list - squads from the last 24 hours - and play one that looks good.

It made me think, that while the squad builder is great, the methods of sifting through the best squads have become dated.

If you go to http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/TopRated there's nothing there from post Gencon2010 - it's a good list of squads, - I think the top 11, all from 2010, all look very strong - but it doesn't take into account anything from the last 3 sets.

You can also sift through http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/Ratings?pointLevel=200&votes=10 but there's still not that much recent stuff.

I think a lot of this is to do with a smaller play base since official production ended - the newer squads are often struggling to get enough ratings to get them on a list.

What I'd like to see, as one idea, is a list of squads that have done well in the 2012 Regionals so far, or something similar; I think it's a more objective way of viewing squads, and a good resource for players looking for a strong squad to play.

Anyone agree? Any other ideas?

(sorry if this should go in Bloomilk Suggestions instead)

I like the idea. Maybe something like a power rankings where squads can move up or down based on how they do in regionals. :-)

It takes a little more digging but anything that finishes top 4 at a regional is a good start. Then you takenthe main concept and put a twist on it to your liking.

Or you can do what I do and netdeck any idea Echo24 has.

It would cool to have Regional/Gencon top finishing squads available as an option in squad search, as the mouse-over stuff is cool for seeing what's what.

That said, I'm not sure how high that would fall on Shinja's to-do list given the already limited time he has to work on the site.

For a quick n' dirty solution - if most of the squads are already in the squad builder somewhere, we could just have a thread indexing them with links. (one regional per post?)
