Unlocking the Vault #44 – Eternal is Eternal

Really interesting post.
I think a HUGE part of the enjoyment of TCGs is the novelty and discovery factor. I’ve dabbled in quite a few different TCGs, especially F2P online TCGs in the past couple of years, and there’s just nothing like that experience of exploring a completely new game or, in your case, format. I think that’s why standard has such enduring popularity, because of the constant shakeup, and why probably the #1 metric that people use to assess the health of a format is “diversity”, because a more diverse meta game is always going to lead (on a personaly level) to new and different interractions.
So I’m not at all surprised that you’re enjoying the format, it’ll be interesting to see if that enjoyment can be maintained over time.
Glad you liked the article.
I’ve been playing some matches with a Tezzeret AOB deck that I built because well, I love Tezz 2.0 and I really want to find a way to make it good in Modern. Well, tonight I found out why it’s not really good: An opposing Spellskite can steal your 5/5 ability! With how many Spellskites are running around the format because of Pod, there is basically no reason to ever play Tezz in Modern. Oh well, it was certainly fun to see that happen though!!
