This really has been such an amazing season

It feels like everyone is pushing their own individual agenda even though it's been drawn across tribal lines somewhat

I just read page 6, my post was unnecessary it seems since KP brought up good points.

Why I'm reading piecemeal and in reverse, I can't say.

I just skimmed Page 7 and saw that a lot of what I mentioned about accessibility came up in the context of roster sizes.

You guys are doing good due diligence here woo

Hi friendos! I've skimmed the first 4 pages and have a few comments on game length which have probably already been discussed somewhere.

Part of the reason why Mercs drags on is because it's not just that there's more going on, but there's way more to learn. More characters, more abilities, more interactions, more rulings, more everything. There's a turnover point well before Week 60 where things just get too cumbersome, especially if you don't already know all the characters. It's a turn-off for players, it's a turn-off for voters, and the matches themselves just become chaotic shit shows where it's a clear-cut ability-based stomp or some chaotic mess where you honestly can't even understand how the fight even happens in the first place. You're supposed to be able to imagine the fight happening, and the lategame really doesn't jive well with the limitations of imagination. Power creep also has to happen necessarily the longer it goes, which changes character investing strategies.

The fun in mercs is using abilities to augment fights and the early/midgame have always been good at that. The lategame is what pisses people off to no end, takes forever, and ruins lives. It can't be 60 weeks. 40 is as long as it should ever go for the main season imo.

Also I just gotta say I wonder why I keep coming here. I think its habit. The amount of negativity from Inviso/darkx makes me sad. And given this community is nearly dead, I cant help but feel like I should hang my hat.

Slightly related, does anyone know what happened to Sanity?

I only check very periodically, I've been dipping out slowly and it's lovely.

I keep seeing your vids when I'm lurking on the survivor/bb reddit though, and I always enjoy your discussions and analysis! If you dip out send me a PM on reddit (still Chaeix) or something just to stay in touch!

I've had a decent amount of luck with a greedy recruit warrior deck, took me from rank 18 to 13 in pretty much one streak

Also this is the quickest Ive ever hit legend. Im not sure how many games it took (I play almost exclusively on mobile now as it helps me focus and practice things like hand tracking) but I do know I hit the gold limits on both days. I know I lost like 7 in a row at one point but also ended the run winning 9 of 10.

what's your decklist?
