I bought a box of FIN so it’s time to start adding some chaff to the booze box.
General tidying, omitting copies of cards in the current box and reducing the maybe board to possible future substitutions.
I got a chance to play test a few more games against one of my draft opps, Aaron tonight. We had about 20 minutes between rounds and were able to get 2 games in. He’s got a top 8 pin from a tournament on his playmat so he’s definitely a better MTG player than I am, so it was really nice to hear his feedback.
The game is playing quick and the 60 card trim seems like a good move so far. He has a patient play style so it was interesting to see someone use everything being at Instant speed to their advantage in ways I don’t think to.
His biggest suggestion was adding some “aces” and I’m definitely giving that some thought.
Mill also doesn’t feel viable yet, maybe I’ll tone down the Kindles for some weaker removal. Burst Lightning, with the kicker might be a good option to keep it super cheap, I’ll add it to the maybe board.
I’m just gonna put things at 60 cards for now, no more tweaking until it gets more play, I promise.
I finally got a chance to do some play-testing with this one, it was a lot of fun but with only 2 players it didn’t feel like the mill Strat was very viable. I don’t want to go too wild with it but I decided to trim some cards to speed things up a little did nothing else to make things easier to shuffle.
