@DiceCommando I mean the briar precon also unbanned 2 of the most egregious cards in lightning press and burn up/shock... I'm sure they are returning to the ban list (maybe not lightning press) now her precon has been out for a season.
@maulcore@matt_iwnl The top Edinburgh Mario decks are average cost for a comp deck and most of the costs are tied up in generics. Assassin was at one point expensive but ATM they aren't. Argue if you want that a deck shouldn't be $800 but that's a game issue not class issue IMO.
@matt_iwnl I might have phrased this wrong - even if they fix heros along the way, they aren't designed to be like meta boosts for the class is what I'm trying to say I guess...
@matt_iwnl That said I'm not really upset about MPA, I do think LSS needs to be more clear that MPs are not supplemental sets designed to fix classes/heros. I think MPG and MPW gave that impression, even though they mentioned in the past they aren't designed that way.
@Smdster@MiguelBaldwin@Mengu09@karlim00 3. There are already fewer participants. We need a way to level the playing field. The start to this whole post is basically a video showing what is basically team collusion across the FAB's competitive scene to share people's deck tech.
@BrianHoffmanFAB This is a lot of people's first TCG. I can't wait to see how they feel once the first rotation happens... A whole year of cards going poof at the same time.
@defibkid @Matthew_W_FAB @carloople Yeah and not being able to find it easily either means TOs probably can't. If each TO has a different ban and suspended list than it really makes it easier to cheat since you can still participate in tournaments while suspended in others. Something RB could probably improve on.
@defibkid @Matthew_W_FAB @carloople Reading further, RB's rules can lead more to a DQ but I don't see anything about it going back to RIOT/UVG so player ban lists might be set by tournament organizers, which sounds pretty bad... Do you know who sets the player bans? I can't find it.
@defibkid @Matthew_W_FAB @carloople Maybe I'm wrong but from a quick search and compare, RB should step up their bribery punishment... DQ is much worse than just a game loss for LSS since it leads to a larger discussion about the player and if they should be banned/suspended.
@_NotableNobody @Matthew_W_FAB @carloople I mean I understand that better prizing encourages more cheaters to participate but then it's also more on the community to out these cheaters too no? You just need to encourage reporting it. That's all you can really do besides not have better prizing...
@Matthew_W_FAB @carloople We have a rule on this already, all games of flesh and blood must be decided only by playing a game of flesh and blood. People have been reprimanded for such infractions when they talk about splitting the prizing.
