Deck-Building tag too broad

Question

The tag deck-building applies to two very different things:

1. The act of deciding which cards will go into a TCG/CCG/LCG deck to be played (IE MtG, YuGiOh, Android: Netrunner)

2. A genre of game in which a deck is built and used as the game progresses (IE Domninion, Ascension)

Should these tags be separated as they are two very distinct meanings for deck building?

Answer 1

There are currently 78 open questions tagged with deck-building. Of those, approximately 70 are questions about the processes, strategies, card choices, rules, etc. involved in building a deck. This basically corresponds to your first point. The rest use the tag to either refer to deck building games as a category, or in place of a specific game tag in that category.

So, I propose that the best solution here is to keep the deck-building tag for questions about building decks in any game (and modify the tag wiki accordingly), and to retag the other questions as appropriate, either by simply removing the tag, replacing it with a specific game tag, or replacing it with a different type of tag (such as identify-this-game if relevant).

Answer 2

I think a simple move would be to separate the tags. In other words, it would separate them into deck-builder and deck-building.

However, those names might be a bit too similar, especially when you take ESL users into account, so something like deck-builder and deck-advice might work?
