The secret to gravy is to draw hot and blow them up, lol. I generally ignore allies. You're not proactive vs cindra, kayo, and a lot of random stuff. I do agree rn that into a lot of the popular and/or strong stuff we are largely racing.

Isn't sage just creating a space for the second type of thing? Pushed stuff is for 40 life formats; i think Blitz is largely being sunset for better or worse because it just isn't played.

oh, note i forgot to include
anothos is for converting aggressively; it improves your rate when casting auras (hammer cast aura is a 3 card 10/11/12 depending on aura, as opposed to fist which is a 3 card 8/9/10) so you want it when you're the proactive deck. earth heroes, rhinar, etc.

monkey's paw: 3 block no go again naa

test of iron grip is cindra tech, line it up w/ pedestal to scam them.
sometimes you have to gamble but honestly that matchup is quite bad without something high variance going your way so I was overall pretty content with it even if it's corny sometimes

deck is typically looking to beat ppl down w/ max red auras and pummels, d-reacts are for like assassin and ninja.
largely my conclusion on the brute matchup is that you can't win by being an adult and blocking so you instead play like a gorilla.
rhinar I play 0 d-reacts kayo i play 3 sinks.

Also experiencing a frustrating ennui where I would like to play the pt in Yokohama because it will be a different meta, but don't want to play this meta lol

Fair, honestly. To the original point-- yeah, I'm feeling a bit disenchanted with this metagame. SUP was a really exciting set with a bunch of fun hero designs, and they've all failed to make any splash because of a pushed boardstate deck. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
