Hand Limit will totally kill speed. completely. without a doubt. the whole drawing thing for going second is a little bit odd, I don't know about that one... maybe it'll be alright.It actually doesn't really hurt speed at all. Since most Speed Decks contain a lot of characters and fortresses and artifacts and what not, before I make rescue attempts I just play down all my characters until I have like 4 cards in my hand...this allows to to play 4 draw three cards easily plus draw three from Pentecost all in one turn. I haven't noticed a change at all in my speed deck other than having to play everything down from my hand before I make a rescue.

Big decks aren't competative anyway. You can still play a huge deck during a casual game with your friends.

I hate speed anyway...although, I'm going to have to come up with a new deck now.
I don't like the deck limit rule I liked that it could be as many cards as you wanted!
Speed in T1 is entirely unaffected by the rule, Wraith.

Then at the bigger tournaments the poor hosts would have to check in 2 maybe 3 (when 1 is bad enough) 1000+ card decks. There is no need to build a deck over 150 cards.
I have yet to put down any cards I normally would not. The deck is 7-0. I have gotten to 16 cards a grand total of 1 time.
with my speed deck, I usually get about 20 cards in my hand each game.

I REALLY love rule change #10. I knew the efforts of my foundation would reap benefits. I think this will help the game grow by leaps and bounds.
