issues with the game for new/ old players
There are a ton of issues that are effecting new players and old players that dont have time for best of 3. First is the hand smoothing garbage, it is rally bad as since it has been brought in the shuffler wins more then the players do when playing a crafted deck. It has been about a month at 30 mins a day since I had a game where I didn't have to mulligan twice. And even after the mulligan more often then not its either all lands or no lands. Last 3 games were 17 card land run, 14 card land run, struggling to get 3rd land by turn 9. I have brought in 7 other card players that came in played for a week and then left because of your shuffler. BEST SOLUTION WOULD BE MAKE A GAME MODE FOR BEST OF 1 THAT DOES NOT HAVE HAND SMOOTHING. This would also prevent someone being able to declare you violated the ToS and being able to initiate a legal issue. I have been with MTG since the beginning and I can see that you don't have anyone that actually understnds the game on payroll. MTG was built on epic gam play, while this turn 4 wins may help your profit for now it will kill you in the long run as turn 4-5 games are boring and players will leave because they will realize that there really is nothing there . ANd the power creep is getting ridiculous, you banned fires of invention declaring it was too powerful because of free casts, but it had a lot of built in controls like not being able to ply on your opponents turns, only 3 spells on your turns and limited to the number of lands you have in play. But now you have omniscience that can be cheated into play on turn 3 and has no controls on it, someone can cast any spell in their hand for free at anytime they can cast it. unlimited combos, unlimited turns ( which is another thing you banned cards to prevent ) . Power creep almost killed MTG just after the ice age block. I have been a loyal follower of MTG and I would really hate to see it go down, I know for myself since hand smoothing came in I have not spent any money on any MTG product.
