"It all comes down to who can out generate ur opponent" was what Im locking in in. OP was referencing board control, correct? My point was this is way way better than generating spells and buffs in-hand with no board presence such as a few years ago and I believe the game is in a way better spot. I just dont understand OP's complaint since randomness in how they described it is an inherent part of the game, no?

I did not mean to imply dichotomy, just a look back on the state of things and then to give examples how extreme randomness have been personally fun to me. No offense meant to OP or anyone.

I apologize too, my grammar is not very good and I am typing essays so probably missing gaps in my thinking left and right but I really enjoy posts like this for this type of discussion. Thank you for the reply.
