I haven’t done this, but I’ve done something similar in gauntlets. In the pick and ban games I’ll often put in my sub-optimal deep deck to lure peoples bans away from the deck I prefer

I've been wondering: Does Vaults of Helia NOT kill your unit if there's nothing appropriate to draw? I assume that's what you mean by "kill the chain."

I do not care for this insanely unbalanced lab, so I don't feel like playing to find out for myself. =)  <3

I know the Pain of getting RNG'd into Oblivion. Couple of Days ago I played against an Opponent who managed to generate 5 Primes from 5 randomly generated Primordial Studies. Guess who won.

But at least I got a little Karma later on. Another Guy managed to stack his Board with Spellpower, and when he played another Solarian Prime -BOOM! Drew like 5 or 6 Fatigue Cards because of Cram Session.

As someone who istantly concede as soon as Solarian Prime enter the battlefield at turn 7, i'm happy

The change to Evocation is very good as it prevents two direct sources from generating it. The nerf to Solarian Prime is fine as it slows the card down significantly. I feel like the card is highly overrated but that's just me. Nerfing Sorcerer's Apprentice isn't something they want to do, it seems. It's probably because the card enables several archetypes and other cards. If they nerf the card too much, it's going to drag a bunch of other cards with it to limbo. Mozaki, Master Duelist effectively can't function without that kind of support. Also, they can't change Apprentice's effect for the sake of wild and ignore Radiant Elemental as it's pretty much the same thing. It's not causing problems now but it could become a problem in the future. 

Just yesterday I had a game I would win when opponent cast Solarian which cast YoggBox which cast another Yoggbox. Not a great feeling to lose just because of RNG

that howling abyss deck was a lot of fun in that lab

I would've preferred a Change to Sorcerer's Apprentice.

But, honestly, can't really complain about those Nerfs. I hope this'll put  a Stop to this „Oh, look! I generated another Evocation, which gave me another Primordial Studies, which gave me another Astromancer Solarian!" -BS.

6 years in, I guess I should give up waiting for the day Sorcerer's Apprentice is identified as the root problem. I'm guessing they don't want to kill the Exodia mage dream. Hopefully she is moved to the Hall of Fame in the big Classic set overhaul next year.

As for Solarian Prime: Good, I guess. I don't feel particularly strongly about the power of the card, but I do group it with Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron and The Amazing Reno as the trio of cards that pull undeserved wins out of nowhere by casting random spells with no control. It's because of those three cards that I really dislike the state of mage at the moment.

Plus I have a golden Solarian, so that's another reason to be happy about it.

I acutally did it by playing a Teemo/Heimerdinger deck with only 1x Teemo in the Gauntled. 

Expectation: Players would select an anti-aggro deck to face it while in fact its late game control designed to beat it.
Reality: That deck was banned almost 100% of the time. (Guess everyone hates Teemo lol)

There is a reason why my sejuani deck got 3 copies of Blade's Edge and 3 copies of Death's Hand (aside the fact that they are meant as a plunder trigger)

Seems like she is just getting HoF treatment... RIP Wild

YES.

I am both surprised and disappointed that they didn't nerf Sorcerer's Apprentice.

The Prologue was all about how he got imprisoned, so the Book of Heroes Story is probably about the time after he escaped.

That's what I'm thinking, too. When I saw that they'll have three designers on the stream, I started wondering if there will be three major announcements, with each designer talking about a different one. Maybe achievements or the infamous battle pass could be the third?

Ahh.. ok. I didn't realize it was this early. Thanks for the info.  This whole covid time-lapse/compression thing gets me all the time  :)

@Trapdoorspyder,

The effect is good, but as Demon mentioned, the stats are pretty bad, I would reduce the cost a little bit.

As for art, I usually just type "*type of art I want* fantasy art" into the search bar and scroll through the images until I find something I like.

I see what you did there

No, but I think you guys are on the right track.

Think of a card whose only legacy is being really really useless.

It has halloween vibes with some carnival mixed in. Those are both associated with "modified things". Maybe this means customizing classes, dual-heroes, 2v2 or something like that. Really hope it's not all based on RANDOM like many tavern brawls because I would be REALLY disappointed. Don't do me like that blizzard...
