Lately I have been wondering, Are Bex/bar decks truely broken super dominate cards or are they winning so much mainly because everyone is playing those decks?
While Alot of the tournament reports are indicating that blaze variants are taking first place, I've noticed at events that I've judged that 1) the decks in the cut to the top 8 have been half blaze and half rogue. 2) the better players here tend to be on the blaze side, and the newer players tend to be the ones on the red face paint side..
With a setup like that, it kinda makes sense that blaze decks would be killing everyone, they're being played by the best players (presumably because they want to be competative) and there are so many of them that they outnumber any rogue deck.
Also, I was thinking that many of the main cards in those decks are not actually overpowered.
On the other hand.........
While none of the individual cards are truely overpowered, well, maybe firestarter blaze is, it's the combo that is what's potentially broken...
and there is the idea that while the above is all true, that the blaze decks truely are broken....
Perhaps, if it is broken, I wonder what could be done to fix it.... personally, I'd think something like eratta on firestarter blaze that you could only use it's power if it's active. or maybe only use one copy of it per turn..... I think that'd probably do it........
in any case, I'd like to know how many top rank players are out there that do not play a blaze variant and how their decks fair in tournaments.... assuming there are any left around, they're harder and harder to find these days.
