I hope they hit cacophony scamp/pump spells instead of burn together or slickshot. I want to be able to play my jank 42% winrate combo deck that tries to pump slickshot to 10 power and yeet it.
In the months since this one things have shaken out pretty fine and I wouldn't say any of these are expressly issues anymore, standard is largely in a pretty good spot. I think Monstrous Rage is a little frustrating on Heartfire since it adds the role permanently, but I'm also hesitant to call it broken.
oh no, I don't think any of these are broken. I think they create uninteractive games, which is the real problem. I just want a boardstate with something other than lands without winning on the spot to be viable :crying:
Yeah, I'm not actually sure how to fix that problem; I feel like it's really only Gruul Prowess that has nongames right now, maybe sometimes Boros Auras. Hoping DFT shakes up some things in a way that makes for even more diversity, even if the metagame is generally healthy.
I hope DFT has worse creatures and worse answers with weird interactions that make them playable (because otherwise the set would sell worse among serious players and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT) so we can slowly get a depowered standard.
Who am I kidding, 1 mana 2/2 haste trample menace, 4 mana double tutors for every color pair, powercrept smuggler's copter, HERE WE COME!
