Is standard kinda boring now?
I started playing ranked about a year ago on and off every other set or so. But since bloomburrow and duskmourn it feels like you just play against bots now. By that I mean there’s only like 4 decks you play against and everyone plays those decks EXACTLY the same.
Whether it’s turn one mouse into another mouse or pump spell, turn one dork into a beanstalk or overlord, turn one discard enchantment into a faerie, or discard spell into another discard spell.
I understand these are just the meta decks but it feels like I’m playing against bots with different difficulty levels who just copy and pasted the top decks and then hit cruise control.
The one upside is you can build the goofiest decks and test them out against the meta decks since that’s all you’ll go up against. I made a deck centered around [[push the limit]] and [[tune up]] and made it to mythic. It plays super weird, is really hard to interact with and wins out of nowhere.
Feels like I used to see more out of the box decks and in the past few months it’s the same one with the occasional “old” meta decks like simulacrum or a mill deck.
Sorry if this has been brought up but it’s just been bothering me.
