That is complete subjective. What one person finds “unfun” another finds wildly entertaining.

That’s a rather immature, infantile, self-centred logic.

If some pattern isn’t fun to play against, it shouldn’t be in the game — that’s a better take… Not an “But I’m having fun!” big-baby attitude.

Ironically i just played against a Hunter that played 3 zero cost Deadly shots against me in one turn to clear off my board. Normally i see two but this time they setup to get a third copy.

On which turn?

Besides, that definitely sounds like a high roll, not something that happens about 50% of the time (100% against you, 0% when you’re playing it), like that Shaman example.

Everyone has too many board clears

You’ve gotta be kidding, haven’t you?

I’m in a bit of a hurry to find a bunch of old posts right now, but it’s been said umpteen times how this Standard year has had notoriously limited board wipes, so it’s been much more of a minion meta.

‘Too many’, especially for ‘everyone’, was when all those Reno bozos and whatnot (Titans, etc) were running rampant. Nowadays, only a few classes have dedicated clears, although Warrior has become a bit too annoying with the board in the latest round…

PS Alright, see, for example (also below in that post):

First, as you said yourself, it’s not fun. Second, only a very… niche category of playahz with… unusual tastes, let’s say that, yank off at the notion of “Ooh, I played my fiftieth Plague of Death during this game, and I haven’t even touched my real removals yet” being a healthy state of the mode. Everyone else would consider this repulsive (btw, it had already happened previously, and, by the way, bye-bye, Swaggering Clown Reno, and good riddance). The reasoning is very simple: it’s more fun and interactive if the game is played on the board and the outcome is decided on the board.
