the actual design philosophy was that people would be playing for ante anyway, so overpowered cards were balanced because you might lose them

statistical pedantry: both of those outcomes are about 92nd percentile lucky, which is difficult to characterize as "mediocre"

everytime i see a daria deck it's either one turn too late to stop me from finding lethal, a hilarious fizzle, or right as i draw into some kind of board wipe

i'm not even claiming that i'm any good at this game, because i'm loving getting worked by every other deck under the sun, but i confess i'm not too impressed by the archetype itself

the actual problem is that i am straight up loving garbage at piloting it, but the silver bolt + wolf otk deck really does not feel particularly good to me

elana haven and last words shadow supposedly beat it up for lunch money, and i don't fear aggro blood either with my favorite two decks (midrange swordcraft and roach_lethal_puzzle.jpeg.dek)

in general, burn decks serve a useful place in a metagame by keeping ridiculous rube goldberg machine decks in check

huh. not saying you're wrong, since i have no firsthand experience with either side of that matchup post-expansion, but playing a turn 3 elana vs. bats was always a really good way to lose even before it hit

i have noticed that i tend to go super streaky in ranked matches; from my lowly a0 rank i tend to go on 6+ match winstreaks or 6-loss benders with depressing regularity

If you're interested in playing Haven, get Darkness Evolved packs. If you're interested in playing Rune or Shadow, get Rise of Bahamut decks. For everyone else, probably Base set? 59 packs is more than you need to fill out the commons and most of the uncommons in the smaller sets though, so make sure you switch packs when that happens.

ok so i reinstalled this game and now i'm in the position of having no cards useful in the current rotation (which is good, the card pool was getting kind of static when i quit) yet apparently still getting matched in the AA bracket. what's the new equivalent of 4000 vial blood batspam?
