If I had a nickel for every time Ive had a vehicle break down in a major Northeast city tunnel under a harbor during Magic travel I'd have 2 nickels etc.

Shout out to the DMV area stores running the qualification events for this weekends Legacy Invitational over the last year. Part of why the Legacy scene over here is so strong is the constant stream of great events across the region.

The real issue is that once you do that for every spell, the Arena rope max turn duration threat kicks in.

You can go into full control, which is basically MODO levels of clicks on an interface not made for it.

So from there, redesign the cube with that in mind. Aim the weird broken stuff towards Inkmoth Nexus or similar UI friendly kills, or Oath of Druids, and if you have to balance by cutting Guide of Souls well RIP.

Also Bo1 with a janky combo deck gives you half as many game chances to live the dream in the scenario you 0-X.

The player incentive is all forcing people towards the experience of regretting trying to have fun.

Within 1 big Academy turn you

-Hope the autotapper doesnt spend your 1 red mana for no reason

-Hope you find one key artifact as Arena hides them with a scroll bar

-Hope you havent hit the absolute turn time limit when you see the rope

In a big Boros turn, you are clicking yes to Guide of Souls

Best of luck, the one marriage I know that started like this ended in divorce.

Just something way more enticing about *feeling* smart vs whether the game play is actually good. Hard to say if Tusker games were more or less fun than tap everything forever, but my brain thinks the memory was.

Probably should qualify this that Kalitas, Cryptbreaker, and other pre FIRE cards are similar issues, its just extremely obvious with all the VOW/MID rares
