You’re doing it wrong… with all the advanced looks in theorycrafting streams, early card reveals, and now tavern brawl early access all the day 1 decks are optimized within about 1 or 2 minutes or so.

Which of course leads to an ever quickening ‘stale period’ as everyone is already tired of the new cards within about 6 hours and sits around waiting for the next balance patch to hopefully change things.

I wish one expansion they would do no pre-release anything no card reveals…just release everything on the expansion date and let people scramble to try and figure things out for at least a day or so. I think that would lead to a far longer and more fun experimentation phase than what we get and give at least a little more life to an expansion cycle.

They may have netdecks, but they don’t have piloting skills. The win rates of old netdecks are high in the first days.

To be serious. You’re doing a service for those people too.

How they gonna know if those decks are good if they don’t have optimized opponents?

People like you are underrated on how important you are for the meta to evolve. Continue with the good work.

100% I actually hate it when I am experimenting with a homebrew and I find other non-meta wonky homebrews. I want to try my deck against a real deck not against some meme casual mode aa list. Netdeckers, I see you and appreciate you.

To make up for the off topic

Heres my early version of draenei big spell shaman

I’m not sure quite yet how to push/pull the lack of early game defense with losing the triangulate consistency or if triangulate will even be necessary or if either of the 2 cost spells will end up ruining lunar trailblazer. Hopefully stranded spaceman/meltmental is good enough stall to survive to the pack the house/nebula turn.

Heres a boring murmur OTK:

Murmur/alex/shudder/kalimos (after playing an elemental the turn before)… the malygos and incindius and all that is there incase the opponent has armor you need to chip through.
