If you like the format you 'll play it, if you don't, you won't. After all we don't have control of the meta environment so decks rise and fall only at konamis will (obviously).

Yes, he created them and it was now his duty to put them back to sleep. The bruised body of Sky Striker was a mere husk of her former self. Thunder Dragons weeped for their fallen king and while Orcust only lost one brave soul, the hit was aimed well. Konamiman grinned, fully knowing that another wave of unbalanced beasts was only waiting to be released upon this unsuspecting land.
