@crofts The closest I could think of is letting the dynamic intros rock the first round on DBFZ

@SaffronOlive As someone who has benefited from IDs Ive always hated them. Me winning the same number of games a someone else, but I get top 8 and they dont because I happened to win them quicker in a variance game is so anti-competitive. Someone having to play the least to win is dumb

@FarfaYGO Magic doesnt really have alternate formats because a bunch of formats are officially supported. You can play (nearly) every official format and have a route to qualifying for a major event through MTGO. Whereas YGO you just have Advanced being supported in an official capacity.

@SaffronOlive While I do think 6 Standard sets a year is far too many, I don't necessarily agree 3-year rotation has been bad. Outside of outliers like Vivi, there's been way more diversity in top decks since the change. Pre Bloomburrow/rotation there were meta decks for every archetype

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@SaffronOlive Vivi is obviously a factor, but Foundations happened in the middle of winter break where this is the first week of school on a holiday weekend. Location is also relevent

@CONEY Halo 5 clears all these unfortunately

@TeamAPS YGO players in particular have a strange block on their shoulder about its accessibility. They seem to attack anyone who brings it up and insist the game is fine when to be honest it is a very clear problem. YGO is the least accessible card game and I don't think it's close

@TolarianCollege It's a shame because outside of the finale arc, the Disney S2 felt like it was starting to be a return to form. It does very much feel like another era of Big Finish being the only way to consume new stories for a while.

@GavinVerhey Saga Creatures are some of the best-designed Limited cards potentially ever. Every bomb feels very beatable thanks to every color having access to decent-great removal, fixing makes it easy to play 3+ color decks, and it's not too fast a format so I can enjoy the cards I open

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@AlmghtyBrshSwgg If you want to start with a more "simple" one, FFIV is what I think the best starting point is as it's when the series really started carving out its identity. Helps to get the base FF systems down without all the extras in each game that come (and go) later.

@SaffronOlive Not to go up to bat for Wizards, but to be fair to them this card was a meta-relevant card not a terribly long time ago when Lizards were more popular pre-Duskmourn but Lizards wound up falling off after it was likely already produced and locked in

@GavinVerhey @maro254 Pleaaase

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@SaffronOlive I'm very interested in trying it out in a Death's Shadow-esque build in Pioneer with Cecil

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@SaffronOlive Izzet Prowess is more spell focused, Mice is more creatures focused. Yes, it plays Monstrous Rage but the playstyle itself is much different from Mice

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@SaffronOlive To be honest, it's pretty much a 2-deck format (GW Convoke and Grixis Heist/Chorus). It's kind of been in and out of digital only being dominant and not, but digital cards are what most good decks are built around currently. If you're looking for 2-year Standard, Alchemy isn't it

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@SaffronOlive I think it's been really good honestly. I can't remember enjoying any of the 2-year rotation Standards since I started in 2020. The top decks are very strong, but there's so many tier 2-3 decks that are capable of beating them.

Granted, 6 sets a year might strain that

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@CONEY Prestige carries way too much weight. BOTW, Dark Souls, etc, would be 6-7/10 games at best if they weren't attached to the "brand" that tells you "games in this series are always good"

@Jenn_the_Judge Khanful - Have at least one creature from every clan on the battlefield.

[jegpeg @jeg_peg]

@DabuzSenpai This could be implemented and somehow games would still be on PS2
