@ech @MysticKetchup If ward didn't replicate one of the classic worst rules interactions (that is better now the IPG was significantly updated) I'd 100% agree.

@UnPassive @MacedWindow to many old school players there are two big factors in what has changed:
* too many card variants, so you can't recognise cards by the art any more.
* too many cards being released each year. Heavily invested players used to be able to keep up with knowing the text of every card in standard. But there are more cards instandard now (all big sets) and standard legal cards are only a portion of new cards.
People didn't need to read every cardthat was played years ago, because they already knew most of them.
@bec budget differences are more fun when it means more decks. Repeating the same matchup gets boring unless you are very lucky.
@bec A lot of decks are expensive due to their manabase. When trying to compete on a budget stick to decks with fewer colours (but 1 is better than 0 for cost). An all islands manabase is ~free and pretty good, where the ideal 4 colour manabase will be 24 $10~50 cards (or $500 if looking are revised duals).
@MysticKetchup dungeons, as "non-standard magic cards" don't need to comply with most rules about card legality.
But as Tabak didn't knowabout it shouldn't be legal, but we need a CR update to make that so.
@Worx Thanks, the answer was mostly correct, but inaccurate in some ways that matter and missed some of the useful info.
@MacedWindow My favourite unique deck is my Claire D'Loon deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/4162863/claire
It's plan B is to win with [[Battle of Wits]].
It's plan A is the obvious token shenanigans.
@Ech Frost Titan caused the most infractions at most events it was widely played at untill missing your own beneficial triggers stopped being an infraction.
