    I think with targeted discard it kind of straddles the line of fun/anti-fun. It's not as blatant as Hymn to Tourach, but I've certainly seen high-level players express their discontent with Thoughtseize in Standard environments. It's not surprising that, if you have metrics other than power...

    Balance falls in the category of spells that make me feel bad (apologetic?) when I cast them.

    I saw some controversy on Twitter about competitive Magic being moved from paper to Arena. I always thought of this step as inevitable for the viewing experience, but maybe others feel differently. It doesn't really affect me either way. Do we have opinions on this?

    I tried hard to make Smallpox work, but even in decks that seemed ideal for it, casting it usually felt suboptimal compared to other options in hand. +1 for Brutality though.

    Am I reading this correctly? If it happens on your turn you have to lose 2 life, then gain 2 life?

    This was a deceiving spam post. Proper thread and all.

    I don't understand why they stack so much loyalty on 3-mana walkers.

    Mixed feelings on sagas returning. The mechanic is super clunky and inelegant, and when I played the previous Sagas set (Origins? Dominaria?) with inexperienced players, they never 'clicked'.

    This thread quickly devolved into memes. What are the most annoying archetypes left in the format once they purge pre-RTR cards?

    I'm super bad at keeping my deck from bloating. My last run finished with 50 cards. I also feel that Act 1 is the hardest in a run. Usually deaths come to an Act 1 elite, so I have to take these mediocre attack spells to be able to clear Goblin Nob, and then they just water down my deck later on.

    Found a new way to beat the Heart.

    Just beat the Heart with such a dumb deck. I had Mummified Hand (whenever you play a Power, a random card in your hand costs 0), tons of 0 cost cards, Runic Pyramid (no longer discard your hand) and Kunai (+ dex for every 3 attacks) and Runic Capacitor (+3 orb slots). + a bunch of rando...

    My first Daily Run had that hybrid character, and I got this set up: plus the relic that gives you 3 more Orb Slots, and the Frozen Core, which gives you an Frost Orb every turn. This game is so fun, everybody go play it.

    For me I totally partition 'fair magic' into interactive games between two players. Against a human I don't want to have 5 minute turns where I play 40 cards, but here I kind of view that as the goal. Have you guys done Ascension runs? I've only done 2, and I felt like Ascension 1 almost made...

    First try! The deck was pretty nutty. I started the run by giving up my starting relic for a random one, got Snecko's eye (makes all your cards have random costs) and went off. The core of the deck was: The Holograms were all upgraded so that they didn't exhaust. The Meteor Strike was...
