What is it about? You should have a description on the main page
Looks good anyway. Good luck with it.

I agree with dojo...need more on the home page about the site and it's function.
Also might try adding more graphics/images relating to your content

Ok, seen 'What's fireshui' - but what's magic: the gathering.
Like the content background colour but not do sure about the dark black navigation colour

I'm little familiar with MTG, but I agree with others about the main page unless it's in a MTG ring or a private web site. The theme itself doesn't give any MTG taste either. Maybe some dungeon or dragon background with torches around (that's what I would do)

Deck infos are cool (TOP 20 decks, favorite decks etc.) External links for the cards in a popup window would be much cooler

I agree it needs some more graphics through out the site.

I like the navigation, good luck:)

The site is a little dark overall. I love the colored rings at the top though. Good choice of fonts in the style sheet.

I used to play Magic so I know what your site is about, however, it would be nice if there was some descriptive text about the site on your opening page. Instead, I had to go to the about us page to actually see some description.

Second, the advertisements on the site overtake everything else. Move the top banner or something. That joined with the google ads on the right are too much.

Regarding the template, if you are going to design a template for one resolution (800x600) I think it looks a lot better if the template is centered for all other resolutions.

Other than that, let's get some pictures of the cards up there.

Nice design, the site looks good, the colors, the font. But make more use of the space at the right. If you want you could limit the space using a vertical border to limit the content space at the right, and in the future as your site grows you can implement more things on this space.

Thanks!

Your site has a fine design, everything fits together great and looks even better. I do however have some advice I belive would help you improve it. The first thing I noticed was the nav bar's black background...this is not good because you want people to see the full page. I think you should balance the colours out and give the nav bar a lighter shade of black(#1A1A1A), that should make everything flow together seamlessly. I will also tell you to keep advertisement to a minimum..but if you HAVE to advertise, than only include a banner of standard size(468x60) and several pop-ups, this is not only more effective when it comes to impressions, but it will make your site look and feel more ...homey.

These are the main problems, but there are several small issues as well, I advice you look at your overall design and plan a new look using the very same theme. I noticed some advertisement links, for this I'd recommend you add a Link Exchange page and place a link to it in the footer, this is very effective.

Please don't think I'm being negative, as your site is a great one. It just has some minor problems you need to fix in order to better your visitors overall experience.
