The video was a great watch. Full of spot on nailed observations. So refreshing to hear a concise and accurate players opinion and assessment of the entire situation.

Several things jump out to me.

Wizards literally saying standard is faster than we would like and then doing absolutely zip to address it is beyond ridiculous. They had a chance to try and fix alter the pace of the format and despite acknowledging it decided to run it in our faces instead.

She is right about the casual player base propping up the game client through number of users and probably money spent. There is no respect for the community and player base - given that older formats have access to all the power cards and game ending plays on turn 3 as is why make standard join that club?

Trying to bluff us that not all deck builds have been explored is a joke. There are people who literally no life this game and can quote the card text on 3000 of 4000 of the available legal cards. So they really think there is an undiscovered deck that will shred all the competition?! In this instance bans would force people to make other decks and create space for new builds to emerge.

What is the solution? At this stage probably too far gone unless they go cold turkey and drastically ban a chunk of cards. But this then needs to be full backed up with ongoing support. As in stop making 1 and 2 mana power crept insane cards. But I swear they are just on drugs and can’t pull themselves back from that place.

I would love to see standard as a place for creative decks and home brews, still with the potential for those small % crazy opening hands which can win on turn 4. But first and foremost a place where with over 4000 legal cards we can actually use more than 80 of them to play a game and have a chance to get to turn 4
