3. This rule destroys the game/is based solely on luck/I hate it I didn't win. +0 for either side because this doesn't make sense.

I like how Bryon takes my (admittedly completely opinionated) post and uses it to invalidate an entire thread of good discourse and discussion. Way to go Bryon, really shows us you care....

You're talking to the person who has made 80%+ cards in EVERY set since about Patriarchs, for hardly anything. He tests the cards he designs more than anyone else in the game, and is constantly thinking of new ways to appease the community.

Because you should have, and you'll find it's not based on luck, it's based on deckbuilding, just like it is without the rule. If the Sin in the Camp deck kept playing after the new rule of 16 card hand limit was put in play, should the user of the deck blame luck or not accommodating the rule change?
I was simply stating my opinion. The reason I said what I did is because of the fact every single time I have played with your so-called proposed rule change it has effected the game in asinine ways to the point to where the game was simply no longer fun and degenerate, turning into soul generation wars.
Plumbing LineArtifact"During each draw phase before player draws, you may look at top 3 and bottom 3 cards of his deck. You may switch the location of those cards."

There is nothing like watching a speed player have to wait. The speed player fidgets and squirms in his seat because he knows his defense can't possibly protect all the lost souls for long. I've been having that kind of fun. I'm still curous what others have experienced.
You can call it an arechetype, but for MANY players speed = Redemption. And that's not good. There's no denying it basically dominantes the meta.
So I see that neither of the people who I specifically asked to evaluate the feedback I've been giving felt the need to actually do so.

I wasn't talking directly to you in my post. I was talking about the people who are saying it destroys the game without ever giving a reason. I don't possibly see how this "destroys the game."
1. Once again, you're not accounting for adjustments. If the rule goes into play, people WILL change their decks. Then, since both players are playing with the same rules, it will balance out. It has to.2. Why shouldn't a new player with a starter deck lost 5-0 to me? No matter with the rule or without, I expect to beat that player 5-0, I'm sure Gabe or any other top player will as well. It won't change how it works, because once again people will adjust to the new rule.
all of the cards like AS that will become staples.

So instead of making an informed decision about the rule change, we should just implement it and have faith that it'll all work out in the end? Excuse me, but lolwut?!?2) wait....what? So why exactly do you support this rule if you think the premise on which it was based (giving lesser players a chance) is faulty in this place? This isn't going to hurt speed, it will actually make my deck a little faster since I can use AS and grab yet another card out of my deck, and all of the cards like AS that will become staples. So why are you in favor of this rule?
