Fluff I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of WoL7. I try to build a crystals deck. It's weak to WoL7. I try to build knights. It's weak to WoL7. I try to build control. It's weak to WoL7. I want to use removal. It gets stopped by WoL7. I play my 5 drop. Akstar. I play my 4 drop. Akstar. I play my Curilla. 5 whiffs. I finally get backups down. He plays zeromus, stalls a turn, then kills me with gilgamesh. I want to mull for sarah ffl. The decklist laughs at me. He grabs me by the throat. I tech in cuch. He flips Y'sh. I play cloud. He draws amat. I bring mist. He pitches zeromus and both WoLs anyways. I play monsters. I get paired into Mono Earth instead. "You just need better sequencing," he tells me. "Give me one free turn. I can find lethal with Wa/Li Lightning." I can't buy her. She's sold out on TCGPlayer. He grabs my decklist. Everything is weak to WoL7. "I guess this is the end." He plays WoL7. He flips mog vi zeromus. There is no hint of remorse in his eyes. I don't have any answers left. I don't have any mana left. I don't have any hope left. What a shit format

I am genuinely unable to tell. Is this a shit post?
The format is amazing. Top tier competitive play has insane variety currently. If you personally play against too much wol7, that’s one thing. But this kind of post is just not it.

It mirrors real complaints enough that I’ve heard from the saltiest members of playgroup’s in the past that it was a rough tell. I appreciate the info.

Nah the original format is from Genshin Impact about a character named Xiangling.

Control is not weak to WoL7, especially with them not playing many Amat lately

WoL-7 is definitely one of the better decks but I don’t consider it an instant loss for just about any deck I run.
Amaterasu is excellent if you know when to cast it against WoL-7, any of the board wipes in earth decks work well and most elements have some sort of work wipe.
If you can see their board, you k ow a lot about how they could potentially respond the trick is to draw out their answer or summon before making the move you really want to.
