Possible fix for Overpowered players

Ejmoose

So we have all been in a uproar about the new update 1.10.2 and I have a suggestion that I'd like to entertain. We had built these deck for the contest previously with restrictions set for how many rares/mythics you could build with, and now masterpieces into the mix even more so. Why don't you have events with restrictions, which would help elimate issues of top players using overpowered builds in Gold tier (one thing D3 is trying to accomplish) it would stop possible abuse of low level PW use, aka smurfing, and make this game closer along the lines of real life MtG tournament play.

Do events that are required to use only kaladesh cycle, and with the rotation of each block required cards, the vault would rotate at the beginning of the week to help players prepare for that weekends cycle event. It would help create a new type of building of decks for events that wouldn't nessarily be Olivia or Deploy or GAH every event maybe the top ten coalitions would have to reload at their play styles even, having gotten used to open builds with all the cards of the colours available.

Again just spitballing some ideas that maybe would help make the events more fair without breaking the game like it appears to have had happened... im trying to stay positive and not direct hate towards what the Devs have done. Let's instead try and give them positive, however hesitant it may be, ideas and push for a better change for the next update!!!!!

I'd like to see these types of matches added but not replace all other events.

This would be greatly facilitated by allowing people to save multiple decks per PW.

They don't need to be a replacement. They could even become the pay to play events that they are trying to impiment. But need better rewards to justify paying to enter. Getting perfect in the trials should have given you more than what's offered currently.

Run the daily colour tournaments each weekday, with a cycle tournament each weekend, coinciding with the free events running. Kaladesh first week, SOI next week, BFZ, origins etc. Etc. Helps boost sales, keeping the game running for everyone not willing to invest, and make it more tournamanet style for the pay to play events. Still needs better rewards for the pay to play

I would like to see events that only allow decks within a certain point range allowed to enter using this guildline viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58286
I would also like to see Block Format events like mentioned here viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58287
