I agree. It is a similar story on Hive. The new things are gonna pump, not old stuff so bag holders can dump on them.. the fundamentals need to be fixed and sustainable things done, the time for blagging is coming to an end.
Totally agree with the myriad of rules, ironically it makes it less human friendly and better for bots. Not taking bots out of the game is a huge mistake.
At the end of the day, it is what it is and the team will do what they want and players will either leave or adapt. I think you mentioned in only will make sense to have Soul Bound decks going forward..
