This is one of the most fun parts of the game. Thanks! I'm confused. Why is it ok to nerf a standard card but not a legacy one? All cards hit legacy eventually (usually about a year). Why does them being slightly older make them inherently immune to balancing? Oktagon announced that they would be balancing older sets when they first started. Its a little surprising we didn't get a heads up, but not that it happened.Cycling needed a nerf a year and a half ago. But Oktagon wasn't around then, and when they started they had to focus on catching the sets up to paper. The cycling nerf is fine. You should not be able to win with nothing but cycling.I find it interesting that the legacy cards that got changed are mostly not the overpowered ones (Olivia, Pig, Ulrich..ect) but were definitely still probably needed. And some cards were buffed, not nerfed! Balance!I am waiting for someone to request a refund for their money buy of Shrine, though. That would be hilarious.

I dread the day they nerf cards like Deploy, Olivia, Pig...honestly it would be a significant deterrent for me playing the game if they did, as it would significantly lengthen legacy matches, and I spend enough time playing this game as is.

Funny, most people are complaining that there isn't enough to do in game. I would assume slightly longer matches would help that a bit. Unless you just want a hundred 1 minute long matches instead of 25 5 minute long ones
Mark_Tedin said: Ok, let's go ... First of all, I congratulate you for listening to the forum participants a lot. It have many good things like Land Support Changes (mainly Zhalfirin Void), General Changes (Naru, Traxos, Haphazardous Bombardment), Training Grounds - Standard PVP, Shield Number, bug fixes...BUT....I sincerely disagree with the SUPER NERF's Cycling cards and other legacy cards (Shire of the Forsaken Gods). Please, do not nerf our legacy. This is one of the most fun parts of the game. Thanks!

Unless you just want a hundred 1 minute long matches instead of 25 5 minute long ones If I play ToTP, RIV, and clearing all nodes in whatever the flavor of the day event is, that's usually 3 to 4 hours of gameplay per day. That's a significant time commitment for anyone with a full-time job, social life, etc.
madwren said: The set looks great overall. I'm pleased. However, am I correct that there are only two cards in M19 that have Flash? Chromium and Murder?Huh. I understand wanting to slow roll a tricky new mechanic, but it really seems like we could have had a couple of others if you wanted to test the waters effectively.

Elektrophorus said: Flavor-wise, there’s an error in the post. Sarkhan Fireblood is actually well after he breaks free from Bolas and begins acting as an independent hero. I know this doesn’t matter gameplay-wise, but it might be interesting to know for players who don’t have a background in MTG.

They kind of did in the monthly questionnaire response... I think maybe March? or April? Stated that they are looking at balancing cards once they were caught up so as to reduce the problems of power hikes and improve lesser used cards.

Theros said: Lack of green gems changers when hod rotates out is worrying me too.Will m19 add illusion creatures? So far only 2 exist in the entire game and more are needed to make cute Jace more cute.
