The New Format for the Global Games
We are currently in Phase 2.
- All phases will use a best-of-five, class vs. class format with nine unique classes per team.
- The teams will then ban and pick decks until both teams have five classes left.
- The decks are then assigned to players and the order of players is determined in secret.

Can't wait
If you cheered enough to get the 3rd and maybe even 4th community goal bonus stuff, which will be announced on 2nd and 31st octobre, do you get them guaranteed or have you to cheer again the then shown cheer amount to be eligible for the bonus stuff?
Anyone else bored by this competitive meta? I don't have a huge problem with the rock/paper/scissors meta when I'm climbing ladder, but it really doesn't lend itself to much intrigue as a spectator. To me, quest rogue might be the most boring deck ever to spectate. I'd genuinely rather watch an odd warrior mirror. Shudderwock is right up there with it, too.
The only thing that even seems entertaining at this point is when you get deep into build-a-beast picks; everything else just feels like watching the same game for the 100th time.
But but... there are 20+ viable decks... we are enjoying the best meta ever since the best meta ever from last expansion.
