This is just kind of a ramble, so maybe just ignore me.
But dude. The hell happened with Twist. It sounded like they were just gonna have fun with expansion packs and the rules for a month at a time, and every month would change things up. And that sounded awesome.
What I imagined in my mind was them just being like “Let’s slap together the Base set, with Grand Tournament, Witchwood, Boomsday, and Festival of Legends. There’s a meta for a month that we’ve never seen before!” and then it’s be silly for the month, maybe a deck prevails as the best deck that trumps all others, but it’s okay, 'cause next month, all the sets will be different, so we can just move on.
Then they kicked off by just giving us a meta we’ve seen before. But they changed some cards up a lil’ and added some new ones! Okay cool! That’s a nice way to ease us into things. We can have some wild stuffs a lil’ later on. And sometimes they’re gonna buff cards! Add a few new ones! Neat!
And at the start it was awesome! Everyone playing with the new stuffs. But then it became clear a few decks were waaay more powerful than others. And then they took a long time nerfing stuffs. And they also told us the format wouldn’t be changed up too much for the next few months.
A-Alright. It’s still fun when you’re under Gold and there’s still some variety.
Un’goro was neat. That was fun for a lil’ bit. But man this is a lil’ stale. But at least we’re almost past those initial first few months. Next month is gonna be a big shake-up, right? Right??
They’re
Just
Disabling
The
Format
For
Two
Months
Alright. Well. I held out hope for a fucking while here. But goddamn it. This is absolutely not what I was expecting when the format was announced. This feels like a train wreck. A train wreck that had so much potential, but now is, whatever this is.
I bet come February it’s just gonna be them going “Alrighty, now here’s the Year of the Phoenix again! We buffed a few cards! March lets you do up to 40 cards! April lets you do up to 50! That’s spicy! Twist will not be available for the months of May and June.”
Cool. Cooooooooooooooooool. I love a format that just goes away for long periods of time. Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
IDK this is just so dumb to me. And it also just feels so insane that they’re just REMOVING the format for two whole months. Would it be so bad to just leave it as it is for those two months? Like yeah, nothing would change. Yeah it would be stale for that time. But at least it’s *there.* I’d still probably play through to Gold 10 or so each of those two months. But I guess that would mean the people who climb to Legend would get more rewards?? We can’t have that?
Even stepping to the side of this and looking at it as a greedy corporate suit. If you just leave the format there, ignore it, let it get stale while you work on the February change-up. You’d still be able to sell Twist packs. You could still promote buying Twist related things. You could still make a lil’ bit of money there. Without any work.
The format is going to be disabled through the holiday season for crying out loud. The 20 Twist players there are won’t even be able to gift each other packs. I’m just so fucking confused by this choice.
Okay. Well. I’ve said my peace. If you read all this, what are you doing with yourself man? You okay? Thank though. Heart’chu.
