The problem is that Standard is totally designed around players not feeling bad when they play their Timmy poo poo without any regard to whether opponent's feel bad.

If basic lands mattered more it would be much less effective. Angry Grimace posted:The problem is that Standard is totally designed around players not feeling bad when they play their Timmy poo poo without any regard to whether opponent's feel bad. Of course that means the people who will win are playing the best, strongest Timmy cards so good luck to everything else

It's not that I don't get that it's hard to design a game where literally any rules or balance break just fucks up the game, but Magic also costs substantially more than just buying a copy of, say, Gloomhaven or any other expensive rules-fiddly board game because in those you get just as much play time and can just house rule something that's dumb.

Having three copies of Grizzly Fate in my VMA deck is cool and good. Especially with Fastbond, Frantic Search, Brainstorm and Yavimaya Elder.

Elyv posted:I would be happy if they just went back to their Kamigawaish philosophy of roughly one good cycle of duals every 2 blocks and painlands in the core set, but I think that ship has long sailed. WotC is clearly happy with multicolor heavy standard since every block from Lorwyn on has had a good cycle of duals. And everyone was unhappy with Shadows over Innistrad duals.

Some Numbers posted:I'm going to break in my copy tomorrow and I'm super excited. Just expect to spend the entire first scenario loving up the rules. I think we rewound an entire round when we realized it made no sense that our Tinkerer got one-shot because you can actually prevent damage by losing cards either from hand or discard; we just forgot the entire rule despite it being critical to ever winning. Edit: not that you'll be playing it if you're just opening it tomorrow since it takes a while to punch and setup Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Dec 16, 2017 |
