The delay in the patch this week highlights how useful a dedicated "post-release nerf" schedule could be. New cards break things more often than they don't in pretty much every format. The team being ready to adjust that at set intervals after release would be good for everyone

      @J_Alexander_HS Nothing has been delayed?

        @GW_Alec I suppose nothing is delayed when there is no schedule, that much is true, though many people do attempt to derive when the notes/patch would drop based on previous behavior.

          @GW_Alec I want to preface this by saying my use of “delayed” was hasty and I’d also like to point out the line of thinking that brought my brain there. The first tweet I saw was pre-BG patch saying balance changes were coming, so I assumed that meant constructed, given the timing https://t.co/at408qDia9

            @GW_Alec The next tweet I saw was this one, suggesting nerfs/buffs had been decided for constructed before the weekend. I didn’t see anything there about BGs (though I was informed a reply buried in the comments did mention it. Took time to find even knowing it existed) https://t.co/Aw5FARwXDB

              @GW_Alec Then I saw this one after waiting for notes Monday, which read a bit to me like BGs data needs were holding constructed back. Bad interpretation in hindsight. It all makes me wish I knew what to expect and when. Especially since new content often seems to need balance changes https://t.co/Dfj4d6Z2pq

                @J_Alexander_HS We definitely have some room to grow when it comes to communication, especially when it comes to patch timings. There were some expectations with us normally releasing on tuesdays or thursdays so I understand why people expected something today.
