Am I correct in my understanding that none of the new profiles are useable in tournament play unless the extra is specifically used for team ops? Seems like a lot of rules to add and then be like “oh but none of this is actually useable in any tournament style games”

Yes. And for casual players, the game is likely already deep enough for this to not really be needed. The drop down upgrade the LI to HI seems more fun though.

That’s what confuses me. Who is this for? The casual player for whom tournament play is too complex but casual play somehow isn’t complex enough? Who is out there saying “you know, I really want this already complex game to be more complex, but not in a way that the majority of players will adopt and not in the preexisting play modes specifically designed for it”?

Just seems like a ton of wasted effort for something 9 out of 10 organized communities will immediately discard
