Just feels like a weird choice to sometimes have these quick cuts that develop the story really rapidly and then sometimes just grind to a halt and make you walk around a very large, repetitive space. And they point it out and complain about it in the sewer level! Why are you making me do it then?

Proud of you!

this option is locked for a surprising number of you

"you're smart, right?"
"I feel like you're talking down to me"
"that's a yes"

Ended up going 7-2 with this for my first non-vivid trophy of the format! Maybe it shows my anti-aggro bias that I thought the deck was mid. Though I do think it needed a little luck. Anyway, check out this nail-biter of a final game:

Ok, finally broke the streak with a kithkin deck. It's... fine, it's definitely got some strong cards but the bottom third of the deck is replaceable commons. I'm 2-0 so far though c:

but I'm kind of biased against aggro anyway cause I like feeling like I'm going to win the long game/hate feeling like I'm just shut out of the game if they play a 4-toughness creature. Not that the typal decks in this format are *that* aggro, but vivid elementals generally goes over their heads

It's also just like, soupy controlly stuff feels more flexible, I feel more in control during drafting and gameplay, and in many of the drafts I legitimately was never given a good reason to be like, elves or whatever. There was one draft where I could have had a good merfolk deck, in hindsight
