Only Untamed and Dice will cycle out of Modern. CL and RW are relatively new. The RB sale is expected to last at most 1 year, so CL and RW are here to stay until then. I am hopeful about powercreep on this and remaining airdrop cards though. The RB cards are being finalized, and that stats of the RW airdrops are only finalized near the airdrop time. So they can still be adjusted and are not yet set in stone.
I am not too fond of this card though. I feel like it wants to be a jack of all trades but master of none. It has magic, but has shield and inspire. In a magic only ruleset, both are useless. I'm guessing it would only work well with Jacek, and at the back line as a Sneak tank. I guess I have to see how it does in battles, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.
Did I say CL and RW? I will have to reread - I wasn't meant to at least! :D
The problem becomes when there is a return. If a deck only last two years at max in gameplay, but doesn't earn anywhere else, there is not enough value to keep buying. Based on my rewards, I would have to play a deck for four years to break even, and with the bots etc in wild, that can't happen.
Pretty much how I feel about it. A bit player at times perhaps.
This was the one I read. You included Rift Watchers, and just wanted to make sure you knew they were safe.
That is the problem with Modern. Even in Magic the Gathering, and other card games, Modern/Standard rotates frequently. Wild/Historic is where it's supposed to still be playable. I'm still hoping that bots will eventually be stamped out from the game. When that happens, you can play and earn in wild as well. Land will hopefully give you additional options of recuperating your expenses.
Ah, I see what you mean. I also have CL. I meant that the Untamed set. Badly phrased.
I see using bots to play as cheating, especially in the higher leagues. Just imagine if chess championships allowed bots - what is the point of having a championship?
I completely agree. Bots have a lot of big advantages over humans. Even with experience, if you have humans battle bots with the same deck, bots would come out on top. Bots can see the battle history more than the 5 available, they can identify patterns and tendencies of the player, and they always know the best team possible and which one has the highest chance of winning with little counters.
Chess bots/AI have already demolished humans decades ago. Players use them for training nowadays. I read Magnus Carlsen tries to meta game it by using weird/slightly inefficient moves to put the board state in an uncommon position to counter those players that use bot training moves. On a side note, there are actually AI/Bot championships. They pit chess engines against each other to determine the current best engine.
