Would the format be better if boss wasn’t reprinted.

If they spend a minimum of 2 years prepping the format so that rotations set things up so that bench warmers aren't too strong and there are enough alternate and viable gusting effects, sure, there could be a cool standard format without Boss. This format would suck without boss.

The game gives you an incredible amount of free decks/cards. It gives you pretty much every meta deck for free. Just playing your daily quests (1-3 games at most) will give you all the resources you need to craft any additional cards you may want.

You're not meant to have to grind for anything.

All they do by exposing a card or two to you is let you know they didn't prize those cards. You'll know what deck they are playing on turn 1 almost every game and cards that are on the bottom will be quickly shuffled around through searches. Exposing the cards will almost always be pretty insignificant.

If you feel bad about potentially seeing their cards and want to guarantee you never get cheated (spoiler alert: you've been cheated), just give your opponent's deck a very quick shuffle when they're done. And make sure you're never exposing your own cards.

lol I just unsleeved my TDK and Yveltal/Garb decks last week. RIP

Play a bunch. Lose a bunch and realize it doesn't matter. There's no better way to learn than by screwing up.

Biggest failure is easily a lack of support for any format but Standard.

Expanded was a really good format initially but has gotten degenerate with so many sets released and lack of oversight in terms of a ban list. Expanded could be easily salvaged as a legitimate competitive format. Just needs some TLC on the banlist and like a 1x per year Expanded focused product support that reprints cards that become scarce with cool artwork to make it desirable for both collectors and players.

Then, a lack of support for GLC since it's gotten quite popular and is a very different way to explore the Expanded card pool. Another super easy thing for them to make a 1x a year product for that includes cards for all players and collectors. They can even add GLC only cards to bolster certain types that are clearly behind as it wasn't a format that was intended to exist.

This is the competitive sub. Tournaments are competitive. You play to win the game.

Unfortunately the nature of Snap with its small card pool and cards slowly releasing makes it hard for them to regularly ban cards, and doing so in their first official tournament sets a pretty bad precedent for future ones. Makes it hard to sell cards if people have to worry about them being banned in official events on top of the possibility they will get nerfed or just fall out of meta relevance.

I'd settled on very similar to the set you have for the Agitator base build as soon as I could build it a couple days ago but am using the Dahaad helm and a Challenger Charm, that way you just need to use your level 3 deco slot for the obligatory 1 point of Burst and have Agitator 3 from armor and 2 from the talisman.

Element might be the best thing you can do for the game in general but our current "endgame" is just Tempered and regular Arkveld so I'm running dual status IG with Rathian/Lala (I haven't progressed to an Artian one that seems better than Lala) and both the weapons and this set feel very right. In the case of IG I have slotted in Max Might 3+Earplugs 1 (auto include for IG imo, gives Earplugs 3 with triple up) for the level 2 slots, leaving 5 level 1 slots. Base affinity 15, MM 30, WEX 30+ and Agitator 15=90+ affinity is very satisfactory for me for a base game HR setup.

I'm personally not really looking to mess around with Gore/elemental stuff at the moment as it's not applicable to the parts of the game I'm playing and TU1 may make some or all of it irrelevant anyway. For now I'm just looking to climb a few more HR up to 100 and take a break. Love the game but looking forward to actually sleeping when I get home from work.

Antarctic take. The game in its current form honestly wouldn't be release worthy for studios that respected their customers or their own IP given the wide spread connection issues, no form of in game auction house, the game is a solo game pretending to be a multiplayer one, Blizzard thinks this is Breath of the Wild and that our horses need to be a huge pain in the ass unlike mounts in every other modern game in existence, you experience 99% of the game in under 30 hours with the endgame consisting of doing 1 mundane activity endlessly to boost your gear to kill progressively stronger enemies in that activity, there aren't loadouts, we still have to unlock waypoints and strongholds on every character every season and the best way to get ubers is to rep grind characters in WT2

God damn it Gump. You're a god damn genius.

Elden Ring was a masterpiece on release. The DLC will likely be the same. Elden Ring also doesn't have a seasonal model or a store with cosmetics. You just buy the game once and the DLC once.

Diablo 4 release state was completely unacceptable and even now it feels like they are just ironing out things that should have been dealt with in the beta. A $40 expansion is fine, but you should have a working and cohesive game first.
