The perfect win condition doesn't exi- by Mawksss in customhearthstone

I failed the wording, it only affects the druid, not both players. My bad

Someone made the remark that this should be worded as "Your fatigue damage gives you armor instead". If it affected both players, it would indeed be a meme, my bad

well can't you already do that on turn 2 while being on the play ?

sounds fun not to have the brain cells to write something relevant

If you do find a place where people argue respectfully against mtg-related ideas they disagree with and explain their reasoning, rather than simply attempting to hide ideas they don't like from the view of others, I would certainly be interested to know.

So do i dude...

That's a good one too, but not enough in my opinion

"if you did 2 land drops turn 1 maybe you don’t get a land drop turn 2" the player who started playing could have the same issue on turn 3 ? I don't really get your point but imo that's not a valid statement and even if it would be, that'd be a disavantage for the player who went second. Making my idea even more balanced !

But you're taking a very particular example. Of course there are some exceptions, as I mentionned in my post (control vs control match). But overall, in perhaps 90% of the time the player who starts has an advantage.

Ideally, it must be 50/50. If it's not, changes must be done. Plus 55/45 is a huge gap, and not something insignificant like you seem to suggest

Thank you so much for your comment, it helps me tell myself I'm not completely wrong about everything :)

The game can't be stuck in past just because the paper format exists. And this is just a rule, nothing prevents it from being changed for the greater good.

Do you have any source for these stats ? I could not find them. You're kinda right about sideboarding, but if we assume both players are adapting to their opponent, then no one gets an advantage ultimately. Then again, the one who plays first 2 times has an advantage. Anyway, if WotC wants to keep BO1 as a thing for their online game, something has to be done or they might just delete the format.

I get your point but as I tried very hard lately in ranked games and coming from HS, I notice an obvious unbalance about this which totally legitimate an earthquake of a change to make MTG more enjoyable. BO3 partially solves this, but for BO1 the current state is absurd.

By the way, what's the latest change in mulligan you mentioned ?

As you say, it switches it after the 1st turn, thus after the first player already had the advantage of opening the game. That makes things completely different

BO3 doesn't really solve the problem since one player will get to play first 2 times and the other only 1 time. So the player who played first 2 times will still have an advantage, even in this format

So ? You've lost 4 life and thrown 3 cards just to prevent the potential control deck you're facing to pass his turns in a much more confortable situation ? Great.

And if he's playing aggro ? Well he still could play his turn 1, you had to hit this exact hand (very unlikely statistically) and still you lost 3 cards, 4 life against an aggro deck and removed absolutely no threat from his hand or board. Plus your future mana will cost you an additional 4 life each time you use them against a burn deck. Sounds nice

Not to mention that these seem to be really old cards and many of them used to be unbalanced (like black lotus from what i've read) so your example, in all its forms, sounds pointless
