How about a block funtion?

Its really boring playing with the same decks, these people just follow the leader of the internet. It's boring, can we have a block function. I would like to play against human beings, not programmed robots. Most people are too weak to have their own idea, it's boring the rest of us.

    If they are so boring and predictable, why not use your massive, non-robot brain to build a deck to beat the weak, uninspired duplicate decks? It sounds like you are being given a free advantage and easy wins.

    @TheJeffers Do you play the TCG? You sound like a guy who does.

    @OlderAngel11 Not recently. I've dabbled a little. I play other TCGs more.

    Every TCG has these complaints in the community. Every game has these complaints.

    People are going to play to the meta and do what works. Sometimes a strategy is genuinely more powerful than anything else, until someone discovers the counter-strategy or a better strategy. Then that becomes the new meta.

    Ironically it tends to be the competitive players most often accused of being "meta-sheep" who tend to innovate these strategies, only to be called sheep once again when everyone else starts using it.
