Just some discussion I had with a friend

My friend likes to run GBs and though the deck has lost a lot of viability, I guess it's safe to say that GBs are OK to be allowed some free rein in the format?

But for those who are too dumb to see it, Bestiari to 2 alone is gonna do as much as Bestiari to 3 for GBs. Nothing at all.

The problem is that GBs playstyle is a turn by turn control playstyle, where you tag in and out based on whatever your opponent is having. Gyzarus is much less of a problem these days because of Warning and the fact that it is so hard to keep that 1 GB before you set the Bestiari on board now. Bestiari is completely balanced and was never the problem card for GB, and with Gyzarus being less of a problem each format, GBs as a whole became less of a problem.

If the format stays as fast as it is GB will continue to have no say in it simply because of how quick they will lose their board. I do believe that GB in the meta now would be healthier than probably WWBF, but in order to that the format really must slow down another 5-8 turns.

In fact, if any sort of revival is to be made for old school control decks in general, the format needs to be slowed by at least 3-5 turns, as none of them can one card one turn lock on turn 1 like Rabbit can.

If I were to choose a meta between control or action, I would choose control, and have a 15-18 turn format, where the slightest misplay could push one's disadvantage through the roof, as compared to jus failing to OTK.

All that said, Chaos Dragons should remain in the format as a form of a polar opposite and in any case is a good deck in the meta no matter what people say.

Yaya that's all

Lalalala
