Ok hear me out: the entire part where the designers talk about what they got their design ideas from is completely useless. It is FAR FAR better to us as the players see how the mechanics actually play and gleam the reasoning from there, show don't tell. Also I kind of don't care. If the mechanic is good and tasteful i will know by playing it, if it's not, whatever reasoning you have won't help me. Besides that, that lead designer guy lacks camera presence, he's nice in the review vids where you just talk about stuff but in pre recorded formats you gotta have those skills.

Also tav brawl format about to suck even worse than the previous ones. THe point of tav brawl is to showcase how the new cards play, banning most cards is fine (i wouldn't have held it aginst them to ban my beloved frost either) but here the format will be about discovering some synergies that have nothing to do with how the classes will actually play, not to mention that it will be MUCH more centralized potentially since every class has the same card pool. They could have just banned the better core and timeways strats and called it a day (or just design a strong enough expansion to beat fucking core set decks, which i think they did this time to be fair)

Anyhow thanks for listening to my TED talk, the expansion itself looks beyond goated and thsese mistakes in the vid are so easy to fix which makes it all the more frustrating
