      @@zaksaturday1693 I blame all this content creators. They glorifying the search for being in Mythic which absolutely gives no benefit whatsoever and plays only meta decks which in turn discourages deck crafting in new players or the seasoned ones. It turns the game into a chore and completely destroys the games intention of being fun and creative with deck building. I have never seen a single content creators that comes up with "Hey today i have a brand new brew in the house and let's give it a shot and lets have fun".

Back when I stopped playing in the Alara block (which was ~15 years ago.... please excuse me, Imma go turn to dust now), netdecking and 'optimizing' decks was the way to play the game. Large part of the reason why I stopped playing, because I couldn't afford to keep up.

    The last control game went down to the dumb early decision to kill a triome instead of a Reef. Why would you ever kill a mana land instead of a creature land. HUGE mistake!

    • @brakalanga7667
      @brakalanga7667 Месяц назад

      True, I thought the same.
      Honestly, aside from the opening (first 3-4 turns) where I don't think roping that much was necessary, I didn't find the game slow at all. There was a pretty high amount of hidden interaction all over the place.
      I don't find draw&go that interesting anymore, I tend to prefer other stuff now, but despite that after a game with so many turning points I would feel satisfied enough to call it a day independently from the winner. I get it, part of the complaining was for entertainment purposes, but still.

    • @Dragon_Fyre
      @Dragon_Fyre Месяц назад

      Two sides of the same coin. Aggro ends the game before opponents get to play, Control prevents your opponents from ever playing. They are both the result of poor game balancing that has deteriorated the quality of the game over time.
      I would only consider aggro slightly more tolerable as the game at least ends quickly and you can begin another game. Control makes MTG a game of solitaire (except where both players are playing control).
      They’re both horrible for the game but unfortunately they’re inevitable in an online game like Arena.
