Jesus, there's really only one deck in historic. LVD said the same thing literally on every game. "Torpor orb is really good at shutting down Guide of Souls. They're not playing Lurrus so they might have a Phlage of their own" I don't have an issue with LVD saying that. I have an issue with metagame lol

Shame there's no black/white Elder Giants like Phlage or Uro. I think the increments of 3 are very interesting. Gain 3 life, draw. 3 damage, 3 life. 3 damage, discard. What else could Wizards do with that, I wonder?

Would love a Blue/Red elder giant, if only for the synergy with the Izzet giants from Kaldheim. Maybe it could be like an Expressive Iteration on a stick. Look at the top 3 cards, put one in hand, one on the bottom, and exile the other, which may be played that turn.

If that's the reason, then Uro is color break White = 3 Life Blue = Draw 1 Black = Discard 1 Red = 3 Damage Green = Play a land. Uro is UG, yet it also gets "gain 3 life" part from White.

I am absolutely baffled by the absurd flavor fail that is Ajani transforming when you play a second copy. Throwing cats into the bombardment was already a stretch in terms of emulating his tragic backstory, but that's just ridiculous. Genuinely surprised that the trigger isn't "is destroyed" rather than "dies", which would have solved both problems without much extra text.

Matchmaking in ranked doesn't take deck type or power into account, only MMR. Since Legend has quite a good win % overall it's facing him against the high MMR sweaty meta players who are trying to rank up, and they're ALL running boros energy. This is the current sad state of the historic meta. Expect guide to be banned/alchemy nerfed very soon, or one of the support cards like galvanic discharge.
