@EDMsnob@DisneyLorcana Without an accompanying definition of what unauthorized and inappropriate mean in this context, this adds absolutely no clarification. The fact that all this data is available via public API is tantamount to endorsement. Devs really need to lock that down
@KI_Garrick It makes me sad. Do they think that when they show up with 5-10k subs or equivalent that people will just not notice how it happened? It's a fast track to being blackballed by the community whether or not anyone ever outs them publicly
I tested out the @Cyberpunk_TCG and made a video summarizing my thoughts from a competitive perspective!
Shout out to @WeirdCo_Games for working with me and @Kawatek_CG for telling me about it!

@BradenMTG Is there a lack of hype? I feel like Ed was a consensus top 3 player before his win and now he's... still a consensus top 3 player? He also hasn't paraded himself around as much as some winners do which combined with his existing pedigree may make it feel like there is less hype
@BradenMTG@LorcanaGoons It really feels like there is a missing regional level of play that makes it really difficult for people like me to stay competitively engaged. There just aren't any competitive tournaments I can drive to so it's fly or don't compete
@pdeffenbaugh Yes and no? I think having more people really focused on winning will lead to more self-balancing metagame. It's an odd quirk of TCGs that isn't really apparent until you run into a situation like this
Worse than the power level of dogs is the reality that the Lorcana community has no interest in policing its own metagame. If you bring an anti-dogs list you lose to the 60% of players not seriously trying to win. Ironically, not enough players are playing the broken deck.
@Fungus317 Yes. More people need to play dogs. Dogs might be a problem, but the meta can't begin to balance itself because it doesn't have a meta share proportional to its strength. I disagree that there aren't decks that beat dogs, they just lose to decks people shouldn't be playing.
