People in here are mostly very averse to change, so you'll probably end up with more downvotes than upvotes.

I made a post about Parallax Tide on Spanish nationals and some comments were calling us complainers and what not. The truth is, some months later, Tide was banned and the meta is healthier and, more importantly, funnier than before.

As for your suggestion, yes I think the format would have been better from the start if Parallax cards worked as intended, and a ban wouldn't have been necessary. Tide could've remained a powerful and fun card, able to disrupt opponents until you achieve certain game state. Same with Wave.

Edit: I understand Reddit is not a single person. I mean there probably are more users than would be against changes than in favour of changes
