Wizard poker sucks, tying as important mechanic as mana to lands that you have to randomly draw is too random.

Re: am i the only good wizard poker player here
say what you will about gw at least they own the unreasonable price of their game pieces and don't spew dogwhistles for INVISIBLE HAND OF THE FREE MARKET

Re: am i the only good wizard poker player here
That is true, but there is such thing as too much variance. That there has to be rules for mulligans means that there is too much variance. Optimally you should be able to play a cardgame after you draw a hand of cards, not to spend time wondering if the hand is playable.Shavnir wrote: yo bro variance in a game is not necessarily a bad thing

case in point : how op are the tau gonna be? on a scale from 1 to 10?
(note: to be fair a lot of times gw fucks up hard in the other direction, lollin' at anyone that owns chaos daemons~)

seriously though the mulligan rule is a limiter to variance but there is inherent variance in the fact that the card game uses cards. are you saying that an ideal cardgame wouldn't have good ahnds and bad ahnds and you never have to worry whcih kind of ahnd you have

oh they do but they do it in such a way to create deliberate inbalance.jerrylee wrote: yeah wizards would never do something like put powerful shit in a new set to drive sales
there's a difference between gently nudging the meta one way a bit and just being pants on head dumb about things.
also wizards has in the past fessed up when they made mistakes while GW shrugs its shoulders and goes "LOL IDK" while the largest 40k tournament in NA requires a 100+ page FAQ document to fix their broken-ass rules
edit ; apparently its down to 15 pages. huh

Re: am i the only good wizard poker player here
Obviously a cardgame will always a random component, I'm just saying that it's too big. There isn't just variance from bad to good hands, it's from playable to unplayable. For comparison, in Duel Masters you can either play each card for it's effect, or play it as a resource. This is a better system than lands in Wizard Poker.Shavnir wrote: oh god the game requires thought? oh no.
