Ohboy said:Bolas is Objectively harder than his predecessor. That he is easier is only due to a quirk in mechanics, not power level. I actually disagree with you on this point. I thought Tezzeret was an awful match where I could only win with cycling.Against Bolas I could play any style of deck, though creatureless was best, and still have a higher chance to win against him. Playing creatures may have lessened my chances against him, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the token making, support creating, energized based monster that could topple even the quickest or most controlling decks available.I think leaving HoR as Standard keeps players in line and retains a mode of play that even newer players can have a shot at winning. Allowing Pig/Olivia/etc will have a chance to make them not want to try to compete against the same 5 Koth decks that are built. If they want that, they can go to the training ground.

Ohboy said: Bosses have power creep too. That's what standard hopes to cut off.Tezz wasn't really nearly as bad as bolas. In fact most veterans could beat him quite handily with a variety of strategies on the first pass.I would be very surprised if the veteran players chimed in and told me bolas was easier or even comparable to tezz.

All current events should be Standard, as it is a lot more fun to play with new cards.
Making the coalition PVE event Legacy near the end of the block would have been the change of pace they were looking for, though, because you still have the option of running full Standard if you wanted to.
Making HoR Legacy is a show-stopper for me. Forcing me to revert to prior sets and having to either deal with ridiculous cycle decks, 4 x low-cost kill spell decks, or deployed rattlechains decks, coupled with Enraged mechanics and stupid objectives, is just making my job and this other game (called "redacted") much more enjoyable.
