Red can easily destroy supports and black can force them to discard their hand before they can play anything. Plus Claustrophobia is junk now. Just like paper magic, certain colors are better against others. I have many problems with this game but Blue being too powerful is not one of them.

This is MTG, it's strategy, you need to adjust. Stop complaining because you feel that your deck should beat everything. Whenever I play blue, red and black wreck me. Even green gives a good fight. I play every color, I take the time to perfect every deck, and because of this, I enjoy the game and love how things are. Gideon is amazing, just not against blue.

I finally got the last card I really wanted for my Blue deck, Talent of the Telepath, and while I can be even more surgical with it, it sucks in QB. Speed is the key in QB and Blue, I have found, is woefully slow. Ever since the bounce change I've found my Blue deck less fun.

Blue is my least favorite deck to play against in QB though for the same reason: It's woefully slow. I win against blue at roughly the same rate as other colors, it just typically takes 2-3x as long to do so.

How can a PW ability set up your opponent for more mana income? You can only use abilities before you match, so you are always the first to benefit from it. And black.... That's not how the 3rd rank of it works. You have to sacrifice 2 of your cards. Only the 2nd rank will trade you 2 for 1. And honestly it's not that hard to go around the 3rd rank. Just keep a low mana spell loaded in the first spot of your hand. That way nothing happens to the high mana card in your 2nd spot. To red. I almost never use her 1st ability. I find her 2nd way more important. We all know how easy it is to kill red when she spams her 1st cause that's all what ai does with her.
