Nice article! It seems the most recent blocks have only added a few cards to the current winning decks out there. It has looked like the main core of the decks have always stayed the same. Is that more to do with the way the mechanics and interactions are more/better designed now and there are fewer bombs that do a huge swing the the board state? It seems like there are better managed card mechanics in the newer sets to avoid the situations where a card drops and the game has undeniable inevitability of a game win or loss, depending on which side of the board you are on.
