Free Build has been a lot of fun. I tried Dropboarder. I got on the Mill train just in time to get crushed by Teemo. Playing the next level decks is an interesting puzzle. But it also feels kind rock paper scissors and games come down to show your hand/deck and let’s move on…

Great job summing up the free build meta. Small decks necessarily trump 40 or 100 card decks due to how consistent they are. These are the available options with tech for the other meta decks.

Lost to this earlier. Tried it myself and almost lost to APM issues. Apparently playing the same spell over and over doesn't slow the rope.

I wouldn't keep posting about Free Build if it weren't such a strangely dynamic metagame. Turns out OTK is too finicky for my mobile gamer fingers so I turned to this. Funny how dropping a bunch of Sea Monsters just wins games...feels like Path of Champions.

I also guessed Follower would be most popular. There are more of them than other cards and they're more salient. They also have more knobs so people may feel more agency.

Woh. Surely some people complain and there will be some rough spots but I’m sure it’ll be a step in the right direction.

Love it when the designers do this. It’s a thread that includes the link to the Jack design thread in the last tweet so prepare for a longish bit good read!

We’re getting Morph from MTG but seems they don’t want you to keep track of multiple morphs. Interesting…

I am beyond excited about this news. PVDDR is one of the all timers in Magic, and I’m thrilled to see what someone of his caliber will bring to LoR design.

Woh, ok so this isn’t just a works with weapons thing but also means there’s a permanent but granted to Riven.

Worlds has always been peak LoR but this announcement has me extra hyped this year. December can’t come soon enough!

Sad. I stepped away from the game because of lack of time but I’m still sad to see this happen. I suppose it’s impossible to keep justifying the subsidizing of LoR for so long. Let’s see if it can reach net positive with this smaller scope. Seems unlikely :(
