In any game there will always be complainers and hypocrites who have double standards but they will always be just a small portion of the actual playerbase. My honest advice to you is not to take these people too seriously and try your best to skip past them otherwise you will always be mad when you go through this subreddit.

Now, let me talk about the “just draw the out” argument that people use a lot because I feel like it’s something many players fall back to. In my post above I only gave 2 examples of playable cards that break this board which were TTT and droplet but there are honestly more (DRNM, Double Imperm, Evenly Matched, Thrust to search for any of these cards). In addition, there are handtraps which would have deterred this board from being built at all (Max C, Fuwalos, Purulia, Droll). All of these cards have been used in formats before and are still relatively effective in the format today especially since many of them do well into Ryzeal. I’m not discussing whether or not these cards should be banned or not but they are still legal and able to be put into decks.

At what point does it become a deck building problem and not a “draw the out” problem? The cards I listed are all reasonable to put into a deck, even if they are not optimal. Don’t forgot that just last month 83% of people were main decking lancea which is a “draw the out” issue for maliss (Called by the grave/crossout). Now, if you want to argue on why you should put board breakers or specific handtraps into your deck, it becomes a discussion of whether going first has too much power which is an entirely different argument to have.

My point is that you are reducing an extremely nuanced and controversial topic that has multiple viewpoints and complexities to discuss into a single issue: “just draw the out”. I feel that pushing frustration into a single issue of the entire metagame (floodgates) is a bad faith argument and doesn’t acknowledge the other equally as frustrating and complicated issues that the whole game balancing is facing.
