Introducing options for other themes won't necessarily change this. I might even just encourage people to find a way to stuff AUTO in to fit their theme. I'm all down for new exciting themes and help for existing themes but I'm not sure that inherently will solve the AUTO problem.Like throne? Lol

I think counters are great but I think reinforcing each brigade and their sub-themes may be the way to go.

If I go a game without seeing Captain, AUTO, Throne, or Moses it's a pleasant surprise. That's what I want to see more of. Vega your deck at Nats is a great example and I hope more people will follow suit with that kind of creativity.why thank you but i did get that deck idea from Gabe in his high level playing video. i know what you mean though. i do take some pride in the creativity that went into Sinning Bountifully, the deck i did come up with for last years t2 only. i could have played a bom deck or throne at nats or whatever but i chose clay to show people that it can compete. however, i do agree, generally speaking i don't think it's as strong. you just have to reinforce more themes exactly like cloud didflood survivors is another great example- great theme, powerful cards, but not played for obvious reasons. people don't see flood survivors decking and getting auto rescues with moses/captain/etc i think the main thing about auto is that it isn't broken, it is just slightly still that much better enough to make it stand out and just so happens to make samuel insane for 2 themes. for the record, i do not want any cards banned.all in all i would say we are going in the right direction!really excited to see what is in store!

Jephthah cbn via angel with the secret name, Sword, Edict, Dagger, Grail is 7 ecs that's why I've typically cut defenders down to 1 king now there is angel, tsc, rubble and dust auto gideon faith of gideon grapes is 11 or more ecs without including lions to eat 12 in the side battle 12 ecs is more than I see in most t1 decks along with woes or golden censer to negate protection or coliseumDid I miss anything? Oh new Othniel is 1/1 guaranteeing initiative and another dc to 13.. Maybe it's just me.. Is that a bit overkill?
