I only mildly disagree w some of these, but I have to admit some of these are pretty fine buffs.

The only one I’m curious about is your proposed counterspell nerf. Which neutral spells were you hoping would be spared?

It’s a BUFF so “The Coin” doesn’t keep triggering it and make it a loss.

Ohh I hadn’t thought of that. Eh, I’m against it, then. lol Counterspell is already the strongest secret next to objection.

There’s literally stuff like Spare Parts and generated 1-Cost spells that generate almost anything to literally Counter the Counter Spell. It’s just sad to say that such a pivotal card like counter spell needs to always have exploits beat it. Isn’t it?

I mean sure. Every card has a theoretical counter. But in practice, conditions won’t always be ideal. I don’t think the neutral buff would make it busted, but it’s very strong and fine without it.

It’s NOT fine without it though

That’s why I bring it up. It’s because the makers always neglect many aspects of their game every time they go forward with a new expansion or mode. I want to help.

Uh, all right. Well, you’ve got interesting ideas.
