Gurthshaker said: Alright, ranting, raving, and conspiracy theories. Here we go. After only a few days of encountering vanguards I realize that I will be forced put at least one card to destroy them in every deck. It's like playing with 2 support destroyers in a deck. Not that I have no experience with that :glares at everyone playing teferi decks with settle the wreckage and starfield of nyx: As for raving I never understand why trying to finish an event is so difficult near the last hour. It's like every opponent gets 6 landfalls in a row. Conspiracy theories, okay is it just me or does the computer know if you never spent money on the game? Your rocking out in the top 5 in an event and all of a sudden you get no creatures or matches for 57 turns lol. There :smiles at the kitty:

But trust me, spending money on the game won't make that feeling go away. It sometimes seems like the damn AI knows exactly whats in your hand and makes the exact match that will leave you starved for mana. BSZ and/or sarkhan 3 etc. won't always save you. And on that note, I have discovered today that i despise Teferi time raveler as a vanguard just as much as I do in paper

While color mastering of late, I've noticed that Greg absolutely won't touch trap gems unless it's via a cascade, even when the trap gem is on a match-four on his best color bonus.

Because I count their cards and make a list and have very good idea of about 80%plus of what is in there from the battle log. Why not have some kind of hard lock where just like you have to have a certain coloured walker, or you have to use certain expansions, then you have to have st least two cards with amass (say), or at least three cards w knights warriors soldiers etc in your deck, or it’s a no go. Bear at in mind I’m a mighty Silver casual so the oh noes some people don’t have the cards is quite possibly going to apply to me. That’s fine. This is a special event and it requires special cards and special objectives.otherwise, why the hell would I massacre what little synergy I have and drop what few powerful cards I have when the other ppl show up with tezz artifact decks in the war of the spark glory event (really? Really? Cmon.) I may as well go screw the amass, I’ll just play my usual lil deck and get the win. In which case, why have the event. It defeats the purpose. Other events where its AI you have no choice but to alter your deck to meet the objectives and get the bonus points. Why not with all events? And confirmation bias... people could do a spreadsheet w a good sample size show it with statistics and you could still go oh no but it’s confirmation bias. The ai gets a LOT of cascades. You know it. I know it. Stop pretending that it makes sense for it to ignore an on color match, ignore a Adapt match, ignores the four off color match and goes for some random thing and then somehow gets cascades from off the screen. It happens and it’s absolute tripe.

You know it. I know it. Actually, at least one instance of said spreadsheet has been catalogued (link is in sig), and it shows that however many cascades the AI gets, a tactical human gets more.(I know this is the rant thread, but if I do somehow manage to deprive you of this rant topic, it looks like you will still have others.)

The point of playing a game is to win. You shouldn't get rewarded for losing. Secondary objectives are just that, secondary.It should be possible to make it so that you can only submit decks that have the ability to meet the objectives (so you need to have at least 1 proliferate card, or at least 1 creature with power 5 or more...ect). That would mitigate the issue, but not ruin the game.
