  I would hate Sheltered By Ghosts a lot less if it didn't feel like every opponent I ever play against somehow has 32 copies in hand on turn 2.

  I&apos;m glad someone relates, I operate in standard with a non meta deck and I was excited for updates with various cards, only for the first day to be a pile of all the cards mentioned in this video from the dreg robot grinders. Like I can beat every type of deck on this list with my non meta deck, but damn it&apos;s not fun, and it&apos;s definitely not consistent, so it drags on and on. I wish Wizards stopped making these design decisions because so many of them were obviously going to have these problems day one.<br><br>Thanks for venting, I know I needed to hear someone just recap what sucks, especially with so much fun Reality Fracture cards out there that just aren&apos;t shining that should be right now.

  I hate everyone of those cards :) Especially Jeskai Revelation. I also can&apos;t stand the fact there are so many board wipes available, &nbsp;every set has a ton of creatures, that mean flop all, if you a just keep getting board wiped over and over, waiting for them to play a single planeswalker to slowly grind you down.You are spot on when you say, it&apos;s not fun, make the game a challenge, for both players, and not simply who can just destroy everything first , until someone gets so bored they just scoop.

  Nice shirt 😂 totally agree about annex, can&apos;t wait to see it rotate out. They couldn&apos;t even bother to fix that obnoxious sound bug

  Great list. Hits all my high points. Agree with the &quot;R&amp;D&quot; why did you do this question. Seems there are so many &quot;I win&quot; cards now. So many must answer or lose things. Unstoppable Slasher will not be missed.

  Good rant and agree 99%. It makes me mad wotc halfassed alchemy because all the cards could&apos;ve been nerfed but wotc gave up on adjusting OP cards, which was half the sales pitch of alchemy.<br><br>I will say lotta these are BO1 issues but I play it too so I relate. I will defend nowhere to run because ward/hexproof is even less fun, and if someone has the counter to my counter I can&apos;t get mad.

  I agree with just about everything on this list. It’s interesting because we definitely have different tastes in the decks we play. Some cards are just universally hated. <br><br>We all have decks we don’t like playing against but I can’t wait for rotation. My personal hated decks are all taking a hit (the unfair decks mostly).
