@ Iseethematrix I agree. There should be a cap on how many cards are banned.

I was having computer issues for the past 2 weeks, so imagine the surprise of not being able to play a single one of my decks in ELO, mono or 50/50. The voting should still be in place, but I think it should come down ultimately to which cards deserve to be ELO banned, not just which cards can be afforded. Rate green for a new ban list system that doesnt involve putting 46 cards up in a week.

@Iseethematrix - I don't agree. Strategy isn't about having superior cards, it's about winning with weaker cards. that's why I think this change is good for elo.

Everyone who complains is probably bad at ELO anyways.

These election is very clever..
they are trying to tell us that those banned cards are not the only cards..

so at this point
our creatvty is measured

cmon there are still staples like chan graff and pegh to exchange jessie spiaghi and lehane wanda and gwen

but honestly some cards doesn't deserve this...
dorian and gil hawkins
if you know what i mean

anyways..

adding askai emeth shann peeler and boden is fine..
i suggest

Yeah, there's a lot of ways to go with Rescue. I was trying out a straight up healer deck, but I've backed off it.

I'm now trying: http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=1439253&list

This seems like it should be pretty stable against SoB, and isn't too badly beaten down by SoA. With it I've picked up about a 100 or so points in ELO. I'm starting to struggle with this build as I get up and past 1150ish. I think Rescue can take you deep into the 1200's this week even with the bans, but I'm not sure this is the build.

So far this week I've seen Bangers a lot. Some Junta, especially in half decks. A surprising amount of Skeez out there. I've seen one Nightmare, and one Piranas, and a few Roots and GHEIST show up in halves. I'm seeing Uppers especially in half decks. Maybe a few Montana.

So far its a lot of different stuff without a lot of the SoA and SoB I was used to seeing in ELO. But it is also early in the week. By Thursday I expect a lot of the field will stabilize towards Bangers and Junta.

Thormund should be ban, is an overpowered 2star card and La Junta already have many good 2 stars card

Smokey us the harshest of the bans IMHO. You can replace Dalhia and Hawkins easily, but without Smokey the pills manipulation strategy takes a big hit.
