It's so funny there's been a lot of comments on youtube from casual players (or to be honest mostly observers who haven't played) about how unfair it is that Elestrals is already hitting cards when the game is so young. But then you get a bunch of yugioh players, and suddenly the complaints are about how they didn't straight up murder these decks. Personally I take the cowardly centrist option and think that these hits, which are hopefully going to succeed in bringing Earth/Thunder at closer in power to other decks even if they'll still be the strongest, seem pretty good to me.

I feel like when it comes to Elestrals at a competitive level there are only three Pantheons; Earth, Thunder, and Water. The rest just don't have any space in the high end of competitive play. If that was to changes, they need cards that let them compete. Something worth bringing to worlds.

I can agree with Trishula that the testing being a few months makes more sense.

Wtf, only 40 minutes? I can’t believe you’d deprive us of the yapping.

Nah king the yapping is there, they just edited it up for the zoomers attention span

I still believe that they need to limit Counters to only 2 copies per rune all around. It does hurt some decks like bears but it provides more room for game plan decks to succeed.

The "banned card in a precon thing" for magic was 1 specific deck a long time ago and the banned card has been legal for years and is basically unplayable in the format now

I was expecting a 2hr episode at least, 40 mins seem short for such a big banlist

I think we actually need more cards like Pharogeist. From what I'm hearing he is a 3 drop that gives you the value to play it. Where as of now we have 2 and 3 drops that aren't worth it. Which plays into why rn the meta is just play good guyz.

This kind of seems like banlists made from the perspective of more mature games like yugioh. You hit a couple consistency tools and limit some finishers/endboard pieces and call it a day. The problem is that the game is way too young, all the power is centralized so heavily that there isn't something "just below" the power level of the hit decks to take its place. This feels like trying to shake up GOAT format by limiting Sakuretsu Armor. Like yeah, some good decks lose some removal but it's not going to change the tier lists dramatically.

13:00 This is exactly why I'm anti limits when it comes to Elestrals, like Magic, you don't have access to your entire deck at all times. If a card is good at 3, it will still, almost invariably, be good and played at nearly the same rate at 1. All it does is make your deck more sacky, which is the opposite of what they should be shooting for, IMO

I mean i think theres a tangible effect when games go long enough, theres a pretty big difference between taking out an equilinx only for the opponent to slap down another versus taking one out and knowing its gone for good now. Whether thats enough combined with consistency is its own thing

My only issue was being a SS subscriber. Last month was thunder and a few days prior to the drop of the list was Earth. Horrible timing, especially when many of the thunder hits were chase cards people just paid money to go after. Not sure I would have stayed subscribed and struggling to want to keep receiving packs in the future.

@markhartman2814 2 ай бұрын

Not sure what cards you’re talking about exactly. The only cards from the thunder month that they hit were Race to the Top (a normal holo worth like $5) and Arcalith (which is still totally playable, you just can’t run more than 1). And when it comes to the earth month, they didn’t hit a single card coming in those packs. And these hits definitely didn’t ruin Thunder or Earth, so both decks will still be extremely playable for people that paid for those chase cards.

@jfund2589 2 ай бұрын

@ only reason I got thunder month was for literally the two cards you mentioned lol I’m sure many others did the same.

@markhartman2814 2 ай бұрын

@@jfund2589 my point is just that the cards are still playable as long as they’re just limited and not banned

@@markhartman2814 my post never said they were no long playable. I am just speaking to the timing of the list, what it hit for elements, and the literal two SS in the last 30 days being those two elements. Also, their divines were temp hit so it does actually impact both packs for the time period. Truthfully, probably more of a frustration with SS business model recently for me more than anything. I want to support them directly but between things like this happening (bling out your favorite cards before we hit them a month later) and shipping costs being so crazy high, it makes it hard to justify when eBay or TCGplayer (hopefully improving stock) just makes me shake my head at why I am even subscribed.
