I still have yet to see an article or quote from a pro player supporting your initial point of "aggro decks aren't viable, don't waste your time."
I however could find the article listing all the current "top tier" competitive decks, and
R/g Aggo being listed as one of the top 7
.

I used to take down the PTQ. In my opinion, there are six tier-one decks in Standard right now: Aristocrats, Junk Rites, Red-White-Blue, Esper, Naya Blitz, and Red-Green.
That's for my first point. That my opinion OH SHIT correlates with something "people who get paid to play magic" are saying.

You literally fucking suck at reading my tone and intent, you as well Bv.
When the hell have I even said the word "net deck" you sensitive fuck? When have I said "URE DOING IT WRONG" when the fuck have I ever insulted or said any decks anyone here has tried or support are unviable?
I literally have ONLY defended my archetype as being viable. Obviously I'm biased to it, and I've even SAID "this is how I play magic and the deck I like to play and this is the reason why." Are you fucking blind? I said that pretty much word for word, yet you paint my position as the complete opposite. No I don't think you "don't know what you're taking about" or "doing it wrong" when the fuck have ever stated anything as such? I do think you are being narrow minded when it comes to deck archetypes you don't play. I see the value in playing the decks YOU support, whereas you have only contempt for opinions that contradict yours and your "godly" experience.
Your position is close to "you ignorant fuck, there's no POSSIBLE way you can form an intelligent opinion over mine when I've been playing for 15+ years." Last time I checked, the current iteration of standard has been out for 3 months? Yeah I think 3 months. So, no matter how much you want to take an "arrogant high ground" you've had as much experience with these card pools as I have.
What does experience come down to anyway? You know 3k more cards than me? I don't care about those cards, what do they have to do with standard metagame? You've played at more events than me? How many of them were modern? How many standard?
I know someone who knows literally every statistic there is to know about baseball, for his entire time. Does that mean I can't form an opinion of equal worth to him when I go to a ball game with him, at that current game? I can't assess the game I'm watching right then and there with him because he's been alive twice as long as me and knows infinitely more baseball stats and history?
Sure his opinion will be better formed based on history and paths, but that doesn't make mine "complete shit."
Now, take the stick out of your ass and you might stop getting butt hurt every time I post something that makes sense Shea and you can't comprehend how someone who hasn't dedicated so much of his life to a fucking game might possibly have an opinion on the same level as yours.
