  • @vanillacrem3
    @vanillacrem3 Рік тому

    If you run a hypergeometric calculator, you need 13 1- or 2-drops to consistently (91%+) cast something by turn 2 (not accounting for Bo1 shuffler), whereas this deck was running 11. A deck that has a critical turn of 4 also wants some of those to help find land (draw/loot/scry/siphon insight/etc.). Those were a bigger issue than the land count; 27 lands + Celestus is already quite a lot. TL;DR: think Xerox theory before adding too many lands.

    The rope mechanic NEEDS to be fixed. I understand the reason for its existence and duration, but it's SO aggravating to all the others.
    Plus the game is not new: the COULD come up with a better mechanic for it.
    - Maybe the duration of rope / number of "rope charges" can be diminished, proportionally to how high you are in the rank (the higher you get, the shorter the rope ) ?
    - Maybe a "thinking" button can be used to notify your opponent that you need time and THAT gives you rope (whereas simple inactivity doesn't?)
    - Maybe users can get extra in-game currency / cosmetics / achievements /prices for accepting to play with shorter ropes, or for not using ropes?
    - A combination of the above?
    - Something else I can't think of?
    But seriously, guys, do something!

    I don't think I hate anything as much as I hate green white enchantments
