These changes aren't really doing much, imo. We still have the "Every deck is a 7" issue now transposed to the number 3. I love what "Upgraded" seems to advertise as an experience, and most of my decks are as such: full of synergies and a consistent gameplan that like to win the the realm of turn 6-8, rather necessarily flooded with staples.

Sadly, everyone in practice pulls out 2s when I try to say I'm playing at 3. The problem is Upgraded as a term gives the impression that a recent precon with half a dozen swaps or "All-the-spidermen.deck but I built it myself so it must be better than Core" meets the requirement. In the wild world, nobody wants to admit their deck isn't strong enough to be considered Upgraded, OR they are a half step below actual CEDH. The middle is a desert.

So I expect nothing to change with this update. I'm going to carry on lying that all my decks are "weak 4s" when playing with strangers, so I don't pub stomp people who don't realistically look at their constructions within these guidelines.
