So...why are we putting in the dom cap? I thought we wanted to hit NJ hard, and this does nothing...
Because a Dom cap is awesome and will make the game better.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a dominant cap, but NJ and FTM still need to be stopped.

On another note, 65 members have voted (I didn't even know we had that many that vote) and less than a majority are in favor.

MJB got a number of votes equal to his age. Since that's over 40 it's safe to say that MJB is responsible for most of the votes in favor of this change. ::)

I just voted to further skew the numbers in favor of this change, since I am also over 40.

Matt if I would have been your team mate instead of Wild Bill we may have been able to dominate Nats Team. By the way how did your labotomy go? Wasn't that your reason for 'running' away from the tournament so quickly? Hmmmmm
*lobotomy  ::)

No, labotomy is correct. Your dad had to have his lab removed, due to insufficient NSF grant funds (darn Republicans)... ;)
Press 1 for more options.

Thanks for the concern, Kittens, but it was better than the other option I was given which was to have a *lap*otomy.

This will also do more to curb speed then the new rescue rule. It will encourage bigger decks which are by definition not speed decks

Ha. The 4 cards you just took out of your deck are going to be more draw cards. I think it will increase the amount of speed decks... but I like the rule because it still adds more diversity within speedy decks.

Every deck of the same type has about 5-6 cards that differ. With this, now they'll have about 10 cards that differ, which adds more diversity. That's what I like.

Given the new draw heroes, every deck is a speed deck now.  I can see more 57 card decks, but not too many.  The meta was only solidified by the new set.

After talking to the guys in my playgroup, this rule change will not affect them in the slightest because they had already been playing Lampstand and minimal evil dominants.

If this rule is put into effect, people'll see a lot of meta like this.

Agreed.  I'm planning on having a dominant cap = LS (NOT including Hopper) for the November ROOT.

Thanks for your support that's 2 for me as Redemption Dictator.  ;)

SQF unite! Together we can defeat this menace! (cricket noise) oh snap. :o

My prediction if this rule is implemented: There will be a lot more 100+ card decks. There is the advantage of multiples of the very annoying cards, and also you can still have the full count of Doms.
ANB is good. Change my mind.

Amen to this rule change!

I was looking at some of the T1 decks in deck advice and came to the conclusion that without a dom cap it's like playing 5-card draw poker with 2's, 3's, and one-eyed Jacks wild.

Make dominants submit!!  ;D
