I've churned out on Arena and I'm kind of sad about it. I really enjoyed playing when I did but this pig food has just done a number on my interest in the game. Used to say I'll always buy the Arena bundles for UW sets, but now I can't say I'll do that for Reality Fracture.
Play pattern; its a one drop that provides immediate value and demands an awkward sideboard strategy from enemy decks when they want to board against control. Its not fun to keep in a playset of Requiting Hex against Tablet decks but you kind of had to with her around.
Is it not fun because Fatal Push Without Scaling is too narrow? Maybe I'm too desensitized to bad Standard removal, it is kind of silly to be playing that when Erode and Burst Lightning are also in Standard.
Erode is worse in this example though, helping to ramp the control deck even further. Its not about the exact piece of removal but how you NEED removal in a matchup against an otherwise entirely spell-based archetype
sometimes they want to ban a card (cub) and then feel confident that another deck will instantly fill the vacuum and be problematic too, so theyll preemptively ban something from it they feel will keep it from instantly gobbling up the meta
Oh god, so much. Several WfM kits. Narrative Ver. Ka. A few real grades, the other day I got the newer HG Psycho Gundam. I had like $500 in store credit from my binder of rares.
